Earth it to the spare wheel well - theres a few holes closest to the lock part of the boot.

Ensure you sand the paint down to metal first otherwise the contact will be awful!

Installing a Ground wire kit will solve that problem:

I recommend you do that, and do the wiring like this http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... ght=wiring

Hope it helps!

Something nice and rough thall take it to bare metal

A smear of vaseline ove the top after its all done is a good idea
