Re: Two Cars - One weekend - the new Polo Blue GT arrives.

Following on my finishing off some small jobs on the Wife's Blue GT that I'd forgotten, I noticed (for the first time really) today that the front fog lamp bulbs on her blue GT look really very yellow in comparison to the Xenon headlights she has. Can anyone recommend a brand/type of bulb that will ...

LED bulbs for rear reading lights

After going in the wife's car this weekend, I noticed that shockingly, I hadn't replaced the bulbs in the rear seat area roof light :o I think these are different from the W5W units used at the front, so before I go off searching the web for a pair, has anyone changed these for Can-Bus friendly unit...

Re: Two Cars - One weekend - the new Polo Blue GT arrives.

Dead Easy. Release the trim surrounding the climate / heater controls (just gently pull off from the bottom edge). Then carefully release the trim surrounding the radio / air vents. Work slowly releasing each clip and in a few minutes the whole trim pops off. Then you can slide the switch into the d...

Re: I's The Polo Blue Gt the same as the 6r I know it's stupid haha I don't know

9N3, 6R, 6C etc. refer to the Polo model generations not trim level. The Blue was first introduced in 2013 on the 6R platform, and recently when the Polo switched over to the 6C platform the newer units (2015 onwards) are built on that platform. TBH, there aren't massive changes between the 6R and 6...

Re: Two Cars - One weekend - the new Polo Blue GT arrives.

Haha.... I wondered who would be the first to spot that - well done sir :lol: Basically the wife has a bit of OCD and didn't like having one spare blank plate in the dash (I know, I know... before you say it :D ), so I ordered her a sport switch from a GTI just to plug the gap. Was only £11 on Germa...

Re: Two Cars - One weekend - the new Polo Blue GT arrives.

Thanks all, much appreciated, and the main thing is the wife is totally over the moon with it (many brownie points earned :D ) A couple of quick questions if I may. Firstly, on her older 6R Blue GT, we fitted a set of genuine VW aluminum pedals (from a GTI I think). I removed them before the car wen...

Re: Two Cars - One weekend - the new Polo Blue GT arrives.

Not a problem Ricmondo. I enjoy detailing and for the last 10 years or so, all of our cars irrespective of age look like they had just walked out of a showroom - it's just how I like to keep them - I'm a bit OCD that way :D SRGTD, no the exhaust tips aren't standard but were purchased on line in. Ad...

Few questions on wife's new Blue GT

Hi guys, couple of quick questions please. We have just been to the dealers to look at the wife's new polo blue GT and although we have specified it with the convenience pack, we noticed that the rear view mirror just looks like a plain unit with no buttons or lights, unlike her current unit on her ...

Re: Blue GT Chome Exhaust trims

Bloody hell, I've just checked the price of the exhaust trims from my local dealer - £45.91 each - nearly a £100 for two. Don't remember them being anywhere near that price last time. Might have to try and see if I can tap the ones on her existing car back off gently and re-use them !

Re: Blue GT Chome Exhaust trims

OK, seems pretty conclusive, many thanks (fingers crossed as this will save me a lot of grief). As an aside, can anyone confirm that the Blue GT's DO now come with underseat storage drawers on both seats (the dealer told me yes, but after the above, I'd rather take the word of members on here). I'm ...

Re: Blue GT Chome Exhaust trims

Cheers Jammydodger.

You 100% sure about that as the dealer was adamant that Xenon's still precluded the fog lights ? Indeed in the latest Polo brochure it still has a caveat saying fogs are deleted with Xenon's are selected ?

Hope your right bud, would be great if you are, save me a lot of work !

Blue GT Chrome Exhaust trims

Hi guys. As the wife's new Blue GT (to replace her current) has now been built and on it's way, can someone remind me of the part number and prices for the Genuine Chrome tailpipe trims please ? Also can't remember if they come in a pack of 2 or singular and so if I need to order 1 set or 2 individu...
