If you mean you are moving to Germany and importing your Polo, then you will have to submit your vehicle for inspection and get it approved - KPH speedo etc. But won't you be stuck with a RHD model - no fun at the car park ticket barrier!

If you are just driving over, I wouldn't even bother with stickers. I've been driving over to the UK from Switzerland with Swiss cars for the last 25 years and never did anything for the UK - including my Polo last summer...

Very good point. I had a mate who moved to Germany and quickly decided to sell his and buy a left hooker. All depends on your usage and how long you are staying.

An RHD car is basically unsellable on the continent, except to returning English - who will already know this and expect a knock-down price.

The LHD Polos are built in Spain and the spec. varies a fair bit for the UK versions too...
