Its a five minute job to do - put the window down, pull back the window rubber, undo the two phillips screws and remove the old. Fit the gloss pillar, put the window rubber back and admire :D

Costs about £40 from the stealers. Well worth it though, looks loads better than the standard b pillars IMO.

ooOOoo.

Can you get these for the 4 door?

Will you also be glossing up the little plastic bit the mirror is connected to?

Your best bet is the dealership parts department mate - thats where I got mine from. I think they were standard equipment on some of the 9N Polos.
Don't bother buying new screws for them, just use the ones holding the originals in place!

I believe you can, but I seem to remember it costing over £100 for the parts - you need two pillars for each rear door IIRC.
