1.2 Polo Match :D

[CANDYMAN]

Yeah let us know what they say as the dealer i get my parts from said that if the part number has a 1 as in 8n1064200
(the 1= means left hand drive) if it had started 8n2 it would be rhd but that part number with a 2 dosnt exist as rhd pedals so 1=lhd 2=rhd
I think the ones that are for sale on e-bay by the german seller are genuine vw items as the company selling them are a vw dealer.

[The Sheriff]

the guy who posted the link to the German ebayer said that the pedals where RHD ?

Thinking about getting a GTI grill for my Polo, but was gonna get the badge sprayed matt black... Has anyone heard of the gti bottom grill being sold anywhere cause I'd want the two grills to match yano?

Whats the verdict?

[CANDYMAN]

Not sure if the lower GTI grill will fit a standard polo bumper as the GTI bumper is deeper so may not fit?

[NeilMcConville]

Oh is that so? Its worth a try...but I can't find any information on it at all :/

EDIT: Had a chat with the master techy at local VW garage and 'most' of the VW brand has the antenna built into the back window - the aerial on the roof is for pure cosmetic reasons. He couldn't ensure this was the case for the Polo but simply informed me to unscrew mine and see what my radio reception is like. If there's no difference then it's clear the antenna is built into the rear window.

I'm going to give it a test later - if it is the case, i'll definatley be grabbing one of these and paying for it fitting when I get my next service:

[NeilMcConville]

Yeah there is no difference with reception because I havent had my ariel since october and have never had problems with the radio So that antenna could be a good idea! cheers!

[AJ_7]

It's OEM, won't affect reception and it's cheap as you like. What's not to like about it?

[NeilMcConville]

Exactly I dunno when my service is but ill properly just enquire about it for then!

[PumpkinPie]

Would you need to remove the roof lining if you were fitting it? Looks like it with that nut on the bottom.

[CANDYMAN]

Why put a bloomin aerial on the roof if it dosn't do anything? Surely for asthetics no aerial on the roof would be better. I noticed on the Bluemotion golf at work there is no roof aerial!

[The Sheriff]

great news, i hate the aerial on it. shark fin ftw

[NeilMcConville]

Im not quite sure what way it would be fitted but you'd most likely need to do somehting with the roof lining.

And yeeah shark fins are the way forward!
