Cheers :D , was between them or 16v ones as i was goin for the dark look. Ebay mate, only cost £35 sent as well, although as its an auction rather than buy it now, im pretty sure u can get it for cheaper! They pop up in their twos or threes quite often. Theyre made for the mk5 so adjustments need be made, and its RHD. hope that helped.

With the wiring, a wire had to be cut (the nightlights i think u call them) and attached to the LED section of the light, but its a real easy job. All in all it took me and a mate of mine about an hour, and that was starting from scratch with no knowledge of anything about wiring etc.

Yeah to make them flush i just shaved down some of the plastic like in the guide, then it just slides in perfectly. It was actually pretty easy. Yeah the ones that i bought were from germany with a starting bid of about £1 and £9 delivery.

Nikz I just finished my law degree at Hertfordshire University, I'm going to be doing my Masters soon, probably at either Brunel or UCL. Yea I need to get cash sorted for my car lol. How much does it cost to get the whole exhaust done on average?

Really, my cousin just finished law at kingston. I thought u had to do a different kind of course rather than a masters in order to practise? Ah no doubt you've come works or oceana then, the place seems hertfordshire ridden somtimes, your lot were everywhere last year!! Ah i'm not sure of the cost of a total exhaust system, mine is just a backbox which cost 130 when new, with a lifetime guarantee. Looking to get rid though if i find a more subtle twin exhaust and put a recess in the bumper, saw a red polo (not sure if its on uk-polos) with the same thing, looke mint.

Yea recesses are awesome and Im gonna get the same but I was thinking...should I get my exhaust fitted before the recess or after? Could be troublesome with a twin dtm exhaust. Yea Im doing my Masters in law as extra and then doing the Legal Practice Course which you need to do to practice. Yea I'm an idiot for making myself go through so much cack :P

Okay, I'm gonna get sparked for saying this but I just recently watching the Fast and Furious movies and I really want to get a body kit not lol. Please....save me from the dark side!!! The only thing that might stop me though is the cash lol.

I've got one on the car, I know it isnt the biggest thing on here, but i quite like it. Although most bodykits I've seen for the 6n polo are quite gash, especially the rear bumpers. I'll take some more pics of the car abit later coz im extremly hungover right now!

Thanks Dee-vub, really appreciate it coming from someone with a car like yours! Going to pick up some original front seats later on today, then will wait until the 18th to get some other stuff sorted out here and there. I can't quite remember the rims on the car, all i remember is seeing it and being like "thats the shizzle".

P.s. Dee-vub, take about 600quid of the price of the rims, and ill have em straight! :lol:
