UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hello all,
here are two questions for you:
1. is the trim that's housing the seat belt "loose" in your cars? both left and right are loose in mine, i've checked the body behind it but there wasn't any piece or hole that it could be attached to. i adjust them every now and then but they keep popping out. looks very very cheap IMO.

2. smoked rear lights. do we buy them smoked or do we have our original lights smoked? most cars on the street have smoked rear lights but some should be sold that way. their drivers don't look like they were into modding that much

thanks everyone!!

Yes, my passenger side seat belt lock used to rattle against the trim all the time. So annoying! so i just wedged a piece of blue tack in the gap and that sorted that!
As for the smoked lights, Venommotorsport.com do them at a reasonable price.

Yup - both sides in mine. And, over time, they've slowly distorted so that they can be seen from outside the car, emerging from behind the printed bit of the rear quarter lights (3 door)

Deek

i had the rear lexus lighs for my polo which i got from venom, but i wouldnt recomend them, i juss returned them after 8 months and having had them replaced once b4. they tend to leak and condensation gets inside them. i have now tinted my rear lights my self, will put up pics soon!

Any advice on self tinting???

yes i'd like to see some pics and please tell us how you did it!!!
thanks m8!

self tinting is cheaper but wont look as good as replacements!

sorry its to dark now, but il take pics first thing in the morning and have them up.
it really isnt hard, juss make sure u clean the clusters well, so theres no dirt left, oh and the can recomends two sprays, i think thats for legal reasons, i did about 5 coats.
oh and aron the build quality of the replacment lights by fk is very bad at the moment, as sidaba would agree. so tinting the lights is the best solution

Highly agree!! Though i would be interested to see what the in-pro one's were like, it's just a matter of finding someone who stocks them really. Might try Halfords at somepoint.

Now tinting the originals is something i haven't considered. Sounds like a good idea, dunno what it'd look like on a silver car though, but i'm just waiting to see Jazzy's pics .

hasnt jazzy got a dark coloured car?

sidaba means on his car i guess

o right i c

correct logistix.

Though probably my fault for the way it came across . English as a subject was never my area!!
