UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i have a little R plate 1.4 that i have a few plans for, so a few quick questions!!

so here we go!

what pdc, offset and centre bore are polo wheels of that age? and similarly does anyone know the same info for the lupo?

also can i fit 2000 onwards age rear clusters to mine, and is it a lot of work or just plug and play?

can i get rid of the orange front indiactor units aswell?are there clear o/e look replacements available

side repeaters, wheres the best place to get some o/e style and shape ones but either clear or smoked?


cheers

Ben

Are you on about the all red 6n2 type rear lights?
If so there is a step by step guide, i think it was switching two wire's and sanding down a coner?

Yup,i think you can pick them up from any where really.not to sure on act shops though as mine came with them from the previous owner.

Same with the side repeaters aswell.

cheers matey!

i'll check my missus wheels on my car and see if they fit as basic plan is to fit some lupo rims to it

yeah thats the rear light am on about, you got a link to the guide?

cheers

there's a typo - the polo is 4x100 fitment on the wheels.

I wrote the guide on fitting 6N2 lights to a 6N - any questions feel free to ask!

yes that's right

looks like u sorted the issues but a good site for the indicators and side repeaters is www.body-kit.co.uk/ pretty good n not too expensive. hope it helps

get on the good old ebay your will get anything you want
and it will be cheap
my side inicators were £15
cant argue with that

yeah cheers fellas, that site looks good and i've had a nosey round ebay for the bits i want. after a debadged grill aswell, ebay again or ones off there bit ropey?

also can the rear 'polo' and '1.4' badges simply be peeled off, or are there locating lugs that go into the metal of the bootlid?

those can be peeled off, as can the side rubbing strips.

however, you will want to heat them up with a hair-dryer first ideally. or wait for a very warm day. the glue can be removed with white spirit / t-cut / petrol but wash it off afterwards!

bob on, thats exactly what i wanted to hear! rub strips are staying but badges are going as is rear wiper etc etc

I hated my rub strips, if i get my new car saturday they're cuming off the same day!!!

As for the rear wiper mate, i did that and lets say i doubt ill do it on my new car tbh!

It just gets so dirty and i couldnt see f**k all

Glue from badges and strips come off very easily with methanol spirit I found although the other methods work too.

Although strips have their job, you can change the look quite a bit by simply removing them. Basically it smoothes off the side on a 6n gicing a simpler curvy look.

I don't remove the rear wiper for the very same reason Josh mentioned, can't see **** if did!!!
