Ask anything you like on this, I'm sure everyone will help you out :)

Have you got any plans for your polo yet? New wheels, lowered etc?

Thank you for the welcomes :)

few things i've been thinking about are :

Dial lights blue
HID's
wheels (may take a while to get)
lowered (maybe)
engine bay bit more colourful
gaiter (black with red stiching)
steering wheel trim insert

I want to just make subtle mods to make her my own :)

I've not seen anyone on here change it to anything different. I can't imagine it being overly difficult, you'd just have to take the unit out and change the bulb inside to an LED or something. I picked up a couple of cheap LED bulbs off eBay and i'm currently using them as number plate lights and they're fantastic!

Do you know what fitment the bulb is? :)

I changed mine. All you need is a similar LED bulb to the sidelights :) The boot looks well now 8)
