Nice mods bro!
Where did You find, the chrome front lower grille?

Are You satisfied with K&N filter? How often have you clean it?

The grill is actually made with this moulding (not sure if the word is correctly used), and it is hold by a double face mounting tape. It is much cheaper solution, but it looks nice I reckon. Probably at some point I will change it with the original chromed grille.


About the K&N filter: I got it for a couple of days now and I can say that I'm satisfied. The engine works much better (easier in some way) and also the RPM on higher speeds is bit lower. The acceleration has been improved too, but nothing dramatically. I also got the cleaning kit and I will probably clean the filter after every maintenance schedule. ( currently 52000km, I think the next one is at 60000km)


What I just ordered from this website- http://www.aliexpress.com/store/group/V ... 90497.html. I hope I will get the items in the next 2-3 weeks :
1. Black Leather Center Console Armrest Cover Lid
2. Chrome VW Window Control Lock
3. Chrome rearview side mirror switch

Тhanks! Probably that will be after the mods I am currently planning, but I definitely like how the car looks with the bi-xenon headlights!

Finally new rims!!!
Tomorrow I will change the caps and also paint the rear brakes in matt black. ( the front ones are okay)





Still waiting for my parts that I mentioned before!

More parts just came!

Polo Mk5
For example, -to install the armrest- (but depends on the model you have purchased)

Hi, ciclo, thanks for the info and the manuals! But I already have the armrest fitted, I will change only the top with a leather one. BTW I saw the armrest and the chrome switches from your topic, so thank you!!

Oh .. yes, the cover. I am sorry.
Sometimes my brain travels to other worlds ...
I edit the message above so that your topic is cleanest.

Тhe leather lid just came!!
It was a bit hard to remove the previous one, really it needed more force.



And now I am waiting... nothing actually.

Any ideas from where I can order a gear shifter like this, with some chrome on it???



I'm currently with the genuine leather one:

New project!

This is what I am going to do after the end of my holiday in about two weeks! I have the double optical headlights, so my turning indicators are on the bottom of the headlight, on that video the headlights are simple optical, so I think it will be even better. What do you think?

I prefer the factory double style headlights, what you already got.
I get an RNS510 with GTI/Blue Gt cluster instead the headlight tuning, but its my private opinion.

That's mine:
