Well, the last two weeks have seen a monumental change to the polo.

Can you spot the difference :?:

Its gone from this:

to this :D

Brand new front bumper, splitter, handles, roof channels and rub strips all round. Plus the addition of two rear parking sensors (they came free with my Xenon HID main beams haha!!)

Heres some more pics - It has really changed the car, and i totally love it even more than before!!

Looking good Alex, the splitter doesn't look as though its fitted right in the last pic though?

It wasnt there - i had to go buy a mallet to hit it in haha :P, although it still isnt fully in on the edges. Im gonna warm it up tomorrow to make it a bit more flexible (new paint and cold weather dont work!)

Cool, I don't have to worry about that having mine smoothed into the bumper. Just have to worry about a big bill when I catch it and crack it :lol:

You need to lower it a bit more though 8)
