The only problem if he writes a guide.. is that almost all of the polo's on here will follow that same standard of mod's and it is no longer unique..

The same happened when I did my tweeters two-tone.. not that they were a major personal mod or anything..

If I were Alex.. I would be keeping this one to myself

Well said Dan.

Im gonna keep this one to myself

If you really want to do it, its fairly simple. Just need your head screwed on!

Sorry guys

Uniqueness doesnt come easily lol

looks nice, glad it's not bright or it could look stupid tbh.

it's quite a simple mod though so i would say you could all do it, even the mentally chalanged ones

(like me)

Cheers everyone! Nice to get some good feedback

Next on the list is an oil change, and replacement of camshaft and crankshaft sensors, then failing that, alternator, and coilpack to fix this bloody idling irritation!!

Im now on the hunt for a Mk3 or a Mk4 polo for a run around...so if anyone is selling one cheap let me know

I must be unique also then, as did this to my GTI almost a year ago and they run off the dimmer switch of the interior lights.......which means mine also adjust in brightness

I dont have the footwell lights though so dont worry

UPWARD SHOT of some LED's

HANDLES

Good work Alex, as you've just found out it's pretty hard to be unique! lol.

I love how much detail you've put into your car since you've had it though mate, keep it up!

Well I took Tim's advice, and have ordered up some Klasse AIO polish and sealant, plus some new wheel cleaning brushes and applicators.

Ive finally got my second set of RX2s, and I'm still contemplating how to refurb them....anybody got and ideas?

Atm, there isnt much more to do on the car. Its getting a new, rather 'clear' modification next week sometime, and I just need to get a new side repeater sorted as my one has all condensated up, but apart from that, id say its nearly done!
