Well the easiest, most expensive way to get it is to go to Volkswagen.

However keep scanning Ebay and they turn up on there!

Don't fret, they're kind enough to primer it for you at that price!

Ceedubya was selling one on here before christmas, not sure if he still has it though. http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... php?t=9055

Thought about this myself as it is supposed to add value to dealer prices. It's subtle but effective!

add value to dealer prices? what do u mean?

A dealer would give you more for trade-in with a votex kit, whereas other kits they wouldn't. It was an optional extra wasn't it?

ahhh i get u now..

yeah it was an optional extra, but not a factory fit because it wasnt on the options list. it was on however, the dealer accessories list.

would they give u more?

we have to find out

They certainly charge more for used Polo's with the Votex kit on -- when I was looking to get mine I noticed a number, and on average they costed Â£1000 more than a "stock" Polo.

Extra Â£1,000 that's quite alot.

Do you think it would add that to a trade in?

hmm dont know

just had a browse on autotrader there, a 1.4 100hp with bodykit is Â£6995 (03 plate)
one without a kit is Â£8495 with higher mileage (03 plate)

Did the one without the kit have a non-standard set of alloys? It seems that the optional 16" wheels put quite a premium on the aftersale price -- even more so than the bodykits do

both had 15" sport standard melbourne alloys (5 spoke)

Just had a search on autotrader, if it's the ad i think it is the 6995 one is looking for a quick sale probably, plus it's private. The 8495 is trade? Having a look theres a big difference in price for similar cars at the moment.
