Been a while since i last posted on here as the car hasn't had anything done to it due to a lack of time :( . However im now in the mood for some little mods so last week i orderd a can of plasti dip from ebay and here are the results 8)

Just debating if I should do the side mirrors matt black to match the badges.

Next thing on the list is to add a slight black tint to the rear lights.

Also want to get one of these, just for laughs :D

I hate the antenna on the roof so was looking at this

Its very cheap and looks great but ive read that in order to remove the current antenna the roof lining needs to be removed :shock:
Any one know if this is the case ?

1. do the mirrors 8) did you have any trouble with the plastidip? want to try it out
2. how you going to tint the lights? I want to do this!
3. I read somewhere that the antenna is actually in the back window... you can unscrew the aerial so try the radio while its off?

Really nice Polo mate, what do you make of the standard headlights without the HIDs? :) Pick up mine on Tuesday and bought some Nightbreaker Plus bulbs for it!

Up close you would realise that something is missing but tbh it never bothers me. From a distance it just looks like a very small stubby ariel :)

I really like them OEM, amd love the Knights. I opted for a 2011 1.2 TDI SE as I got a huge discount on it! £3000 off the price VW wanted! :D I will install them on Saturday so will be back with some picks then!
