Hi just joined uk polos.net, respect to the site and your rides, lots of useful info and advice available as struggling for aftermarket parts/ideas got to say Martin at VAG.COM is very helpful.

Hello! and welcome.
Be prepared for a flood of questions about what car you have, where you live, how old you are, what you do, and if you have chrome rings
(note: cunningly disguised flood of questions
)
James.

Harry,
Let me explain the question about chrome rings. We are by no means implying anything
, they are the rings of chrome around the speedometer and rev counter.
Welcome

Ah, right, the rear aero wiper threw me off a bit- figured it would be a 9N then. Ignore! I wish I had a GTI. With a working climate control.
Long story. Short version: lots of cash spent, no working airconditioning, losing mind.

The aero wiper had seen it on Josh's car quite straightforward to fit had to trim the wiper down 3 times for it to fit does look really trick though compared to the previous black metal wiper blade holder i'm debating on debadging it but each time i think about i'm not so sure as the vw badge looks really big at the back by itself if only it had been smaller is there a smaller badge available?

Welcome to the forum!
You could always colour-code the centre (black bit) of your rear VW badge... I did this ages ago and it makes the rear end look a lot better (like just a chrome badge on paint - instead of a big badge)
