Yep I noticed that, don't know why I was looking for the whole aerial

Can you fit it from the outside without detaching the base?

Yeah basically you tear off the old one. Heat it up in warm water so it's playable and it just slides over the top when it cools down will contract and make the seal!

Sounds a bit too easy

What about the bulbs mate, you know much about them? I linked to a set on eBay earlier but don't know if i have to change something else before i put in the xenons.

Got xenon hid's on mine, they're a kit that includes ballasts and bulbs, they glare a lot in the standard headlight units but look really nice! And timing belts are only about £10 just the labour that's costly

Cheers mate

Take the rear wiper out and replace it with a grommit gives it a nice clean look

^^^^^^^THIS ^^^^^^^^^

I've ordered a honeycomb grill, that'll be the first modification to go on the car. It's a pity finances are so tight, not only have I had to shell out for a car last week and insurance this week but my laptop's gone dead now as well so need to get that fixed up. I really need to find a job for Xmas!

Have yet to give it it's first proper washing due to time and the weather being so bad but this weekend hopefully. Anyone recommend any products to use?

Also, has there been any other topics in here with guys modifying the same coloured Polo as mine? Had a look and couldn't find anyone.

Maybe after the winter, it'll probably be a wet one!

Mines the same colour! don't update much though. Maybe just for you mate! :p

I'd love a set of g60s but they're not easy come across had an idea to take off the caps and spray the basic alloys to see what they're like with a cap in the middle. easy spray them black again and put new or the old hubs on.

Didn't see it the first time looks really well mate, great work.

G60's are £50 a wheel from the dealer or I saw a seller on EBay selling for 170 for the set brand new ones.
