Hi guys how tough is it to fit the rieger grill onto the polo? Should i employ someone or is it straighforward?
Also Im looking to get the rear roof spoiler (which ill be getting someone to do) how much would this cost to spray and fit????
Finally how hard is it to fit the foglights at the front? With all the GTI mesh???? Should i get someone to do this as well????
Cheers
Alex

Depends how competent you feel you are at working on a car I guess.
For the grille, I'd be suprised if it didn't just locate into the mounts for the existing one. Howver I've no experience with the Rieger one, so don't quote me on that.
For the rear spoiler, I think I paid about £125 to have the one on my old 1.0E sprayed and fitted. That also included some minor cosmetic work as well.
Foglights, well the wiring loom should be there behind the lower grilles, so it shouldn't be too hard. There's a DIY guide here

Right
another point of view
i've had fitted all 3 of what you've mentioned.
Front grille is a simple job, just undo the old one (two funny star shaped bolts, one either side) then line up the new one and use the same bolts
job done
rear spoiler like redline said you're looking at between 100-130 (i paid 110)
and the fog lights aren't too many problems either (all the wiring is there ready to accept them)

The front gille is not held on by any Torx screws
only four clips

LOL
how in living buggery is my standard grille different
mine was held on by two torx screw either side, the 4 clips merely held it in place!

Mine was exactly the same, just the 4 clips to get it out.
