      Can't wait to see them
      I agree - gold highlights likely to be nicer than full gold...

        I jus happened to fix the biggest problem with my (and any other pre MY12 polo with rcd 510) polo. I have gone from blue to white



        Sooooo long have I been searching and finally, someone did me the favour of stacking a post my12 polo with Climatronic

          I must admit it is much better, I saw a blue clima while doing up an older polo with BT and it just isnt as nice.

            Very jealous - I find the black on blue hard to see, especially at night.

            How easy was it to swap?

              Well I haven't swapped it yet, I just bought it but it is literally just a mater of removing the dash trim and then unscrew, unplug, replug and rescrew

I'm sure gavs and ATYPIC are breathing a sigh of relief. Got them fitted and balanced the other day, however, I had to order some hub centric rings which come on Monday. Just need to find some time to take some decent pics, so you'll have to wait

                  All I'll say is....17"

                  BTW.....my OEM Denvers and tyres are up for sale on the forum!
                  Ok, pics are up on the Visual Appreciation thread
