[quote="Der Finne."]Hello everyone, a new member from Finland saying hi! Thought I'd post some pics of my 6R, and some of the mods I've done so far.
(Thought about posting in the "Members' Rides" section but couldn't find many 6Rs there, most seem to post in this section? Please move this to the proper section if this is the wrong place.)

I placed an order for a new 1.2 TSI late in July 2010 and took delivery of the car about three months later on Oct 22th 2010. This is my first VW as all my previous cars have been Renaults. I've found Renaults utterly reliable, it's just that I got fed up with my local Renault dealer so thought I'd try another marque (and their service) for a change. Here's what I ordered and got:

2011 Polo Comfortline 1.2 TSI (77kW/105bhp)
6-speed manual
3-door
Candy White / Titan Black interior

Just wanted an uncomplicated and affordable everyday transport so didn't go crazy with ordering extras. Just a few options I felt might be nice to have:
- Sensor pack: parking sensors rear, cruise control, multifunction display
- Bi-Xenon headlights
- foglights
- factory-tinted rear side and rear windows
- front centre armrest
- RCD-510
- w/o model or engine badges on the boot lid


OK. Day One. My first ever brand-new car waiting to be delivered to me: :D

Sadly had to leave my beloved Mégane 2.0 16V / RS lookalike behind: :cry:

First 15kms without crashing, time to strike a pose:

Day Two. Only managed 496km (310 miles) from new before the car needed some work! :wink:

Did your car come as standard with bonnet noise shield?

Does anyone know where I can get a gti rear bumper that will fit onto my standard Polo?

Or does someone have the part number for it?

Also does anyone know where I can get the extra spoiler/wing for the top of the boot?

anybody know if i wanted to fit a flat-bottom steering wheel from a Golf/Scirocco r line (like the one in this thread) to a standard non-GTI Polo 6R . is it just a straight forward swap or do i need to work some magic to get the horn and airbag to work ?

Hiya,

I've done this mod myself. Although they look very similar, the airbag is slightly different, although the plugs are the same. You therefore need a wheel and airbag to do the conversion. It's fairly easy though :)
