UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thanks for the comments everyone, I am loving the interior now, just want to change a few more bits and pieces like black roof lining and pillars, etc.

Anyone know the best way about doing this as I have never done it before ? Do you paint it or dye it ?

Alex, I am definitely going to look at moving the windscreen mounted aerial although the reception seems to have taken a nose dive over the last week and I am back to listening to the iPod so might even revert back to the standard aerial again and lose the stubby on the roof.

Got a new driviers side switch surround for my Birthday off a freind, only just got it though because it was on back order from VW.

The old one that was damaged:



The new one ready to be fitted:



It has been fitted now and the switches feel like brand new, dunno if its cause they are tight again ?

Also had a play around with my head unit and put this background on for now (might make my own picture for it when i get time):

wow your old window switch surround really was a state!! the new one will looks 10000x better
nice HU background!!

The new one does indeed look a million times better, I will try and get a photo of it fitted later.

The switches also feel brand new, must be because they are so tight in the new switch surround

Really nice stereo system, what model is it?

It is the Pioneer AVH-3300BT

I found you on GT5:

lol! if i had GT5 i would spend all my time driving a polo gti around. save me some fuel compared to the real thing

You cant beat the real thing though :p

Havent been on here for a while, very limited to spending money on the polo at the moment as i have just booked a rather busy holiday in March (off to Orlando, then to Miami, then on a cruise around the Bahamas, then back to Miami and back to Orlando) and i need to save all my money for spending when we go as its only 5 months down the road.

Anyway, I havent quite forgotten about the polo, managed to get hold of a new chrome light switch really cheap from ebay thanks to Nigel for the ebay link

Old switch fitted:


New switch fitted:


Switch un-fitted:

What switch is it that you need??? I want to do this on mine. Real good mod that....

Looks nice Neil Loving the carbon vinyl surround too!!

The new switch feels a little chunkier and just looks so much better

switch looks great!! those chrome ones always look much nicer. the bf put one in his golf, i attempted to steal it but he caught me and pinned me to the floor before i got a few paces from the car lol

Yeah that switch looks much better Neil, nice touch

Your Holiday is going to be immense

Thanks for the comments, the switch was only £15 all in from hong kong

Really looking forward to the holiday next year but the missus said I cant do any mods to the polo now until we get back
