Nice looking car and welcome

Please don't put a tow strap on though! They look stupid on anything but a motors port car and even then they are pointless unless you want bumper damage should you need to be towed...

Believe me I had one on my Clio 172 and most tow companies will use a bar now so won't touch you if you don't have the correct tow eye screwed in

Sorry just edited my post to reflect why other than just looks.

Add a GTI honeycombe grill (without the badge though) that'll make the front end a bit nicer

I always think that the tow strap is more like signalling that you're going to break down or crash and therefore need a tow than anything else... but each to their own I guess!

Thanks alot didnt really think about it that way but yeah if it is used its only going to make any damage worse and will just look like im expecting to break down etc which i certainly am not [emoji23] (touch wood) ive looked at the honeycomb grill but i think i will get it with the badge and have black badges
Ive been looking at getting the headlights tinted/smoked as i like the look of that but im unsure of how legal that is :')
Also one of my headlights fills with condensation over night does any one have any idea why that happens?

Nice Polo 6R mate! Lovely color and 3-door. Me like :) for cheap mods I would add some lowering springs, honeycomb grill with black stripe (instead of red) and some factory OEM 17" wheels. And get rid of the crappy RCD 210 radio :)

Sorry for the lack of updates things got pretty crazy and had 4 assignments to submit in just under 2 weeks
However im now back focussing on the polo, ive started a list of things that i want to get done before the summer and im currently in the prosses of ticking off honeycomb grill, germany badge to replace the gti badge, heko wind deflectors, pressed plates to get rid of the scottish flag plates and black badges.
After thos first round of small updates its on to the ones tht really put a dint in the bank account wheels (hopefully 17" scirrocco replicas) stereo and gti spoiler
