i ordered a vw seat one which is exactly the same as the polo one. i phoned the vw dealer and they said they only make the engine cover for the 1.0 litre which is obviously bull**** coz you have one. the seat one is exactly the same so i am going to customise it for my polo. i need to ask you some questions though.
how does the cover bolt on the engine
and does it get hot (if so how hot coz i want to sand the logo off the one im buying and spray it etc put a 1.6 and 8v badge on it and basically i dont want the paint flacking off)
