Looks pretty amazing, one of the best non-GTI new Polos I've seen.

You had any problems with the tints from the police? I know a few guys who have been stopped, hence me going for the lightest possible all round.

thanks mate.

ive been pulled a couple of times, each time i just put both my front windows down before i pull over, theyve never asked me to put them up so its been fine. if you dont want the hassle of being nervous when u see police, its probably best what you've done just to go for the legal tints (30%) on the front. but you can have as dark as you want on the back 2 windows and the rear.

thanks again mate.

Nice looking car, lucky you aren't in Kent, we are told to ask for at least the passenger window to be put up if the rears are heavily tinted!

Love the wheels on there, look superb!

Is the twin exhaust just a tail pipe m8?
Any bumper cutting needed to make it fit?

Nice car BTW!

Thanks

Chris

very nice car sir

Just an idea but have you thought about taking the bump strips off the sides and then smoothing the bump strip looking parts of the front and rear bumpers. I think that might look pretty smoooth.

(i dont know fi this is even possible btw its just specualtiona nd imagination. Oh and caffeine!)
