I had started to get pretty annoyed with rain coming in through my window or even when I used the washer jets
....so, got some rain deflectors off fleabay!
They're quite discreet and were pretty cheap so i'm really happy with the result. Whadd'ya think?
Just gave vwp a mini-wash and took the opportunity to grab some pics!

And then it was just an excuse to take some moe pics!!

Nice looking polo the wheels and grill really set it of but she needs to be lower

Thanks for the comments.
Coilies are definitely next on my list but I'm just waiting for the money fairy to pay me a visit :roll:

I haven't really had the cash lately to spend on the Polo, however when a chance of a 10-strong group buy came up to grab some lower honeycombe grilles - I just had to.
I'd been keeping my eyes open for these almost since the day I picked vwp up. (VW never made them for the mk7 for some unknown reason)
Sooo, Chris was put to good use......!

The centre grille was a pain to get out and took a lot of welly but got there in the end:

New grilles in - very happy:

Total cost delivered = £80

Next job is to fit some fogs into the huuuuge holes.
Just picked some new off fleabay for £50 delivered and hoping to get them fitted soon.

I haven't bought the wiring or switch for the fogs so far - so they won't be functional just yet,
but with another 18 months until her 1st mot i'm in no hurry

Grilles look good Charlie.

Fogs are a doddle to wire (thats if the wiring isn't already there)

You just need a headlight switch (not from China) and use the output from that as a trigger wire to switch a simple relayed loom to the lights.

I'm sure Chris could manage that after seeing the state of the wiring in the Driver.

I retro fitted mine. Easy peasy lemon squeezy

looking good charlie!!

charlievwp · by **charlievwp** on Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:47 pm

Thanks guys.
Had a bit of an issue with the fogs - they don't fit!
I've emailed the seller but no response as yet

Have you priced VW ones up?

Sometimes I am quite suprised at how cheap some parts can be. They will always give a good discount too if you ask.

I'd stick the others back on the bay as universal lights for a body kit.

Somebody'll buy them.
