If your only thinking of spraying two bars then id personally do the top and bottom ones, think thatd look better...

Yeah.. i tried to do something different with the grill and only spray one bar and see what the looks like before i go ahead and spray the other bar.
I was trying something completely different.. shame i didnt pull it off. IT looked wicked before i put it on the car.. but then when its on the car it just looks cack. I will change it... but its raining quiet hard.. so exactly when.. i dun'no?

Much better, don't feel sick anymore
(Last joke I promise).
Think the grill has to be all or nothing if sprayed. Anyway keep up the work.

Just noticed the rub strips along the side are still on, thats the first mod i'd expect a polo owner to carry out. Just pull off and scrub the remaining glue using methanol spirit on a cloth, you'l need strong arms though.
