What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

Why does VW need to do the coding? why can't i or some VCDS geek?

When it comes to airbag modules and your direct safety, leave it to the pros who will have a paper trail of them carrying out the works in case one day "touch wood" you have a massive head on collision that way you're safe in terms of insurance, possible compensation etc.

Also the cluster has to be done by VW as the only way to remove the cluster is by removing the entire front internal section of the dash board in order to gain access to the screws, lock nuts behind the original cluster. That and they need to calibrate the new cluster to the factory settings of the original Polo.

Hmmm I think personally I'd rather have someone I know do it, rather than some chap at VW. My experiences with the dealership are terrible and the mistakes I've seen could have been avoided so easily.
Plus I know they will charge a left testicle to do it.

Yeah I want to keep my left testicle they just took my right for my 60k service.

There is a guy on the UK forums who sells and install clusters, and only charges 200pound. Which i can see just really covering the cost of the item without much mark up. so it couldnt be too hard to install

If you could find someone to do the install and then got VW to do coding would be a whole lot cheaper, for both the steering wheel and cluster

[Nuggos]

Or i could get someone to do both :O

Another angle...

I don't understand that black bit in the middle of your bar? Vinyl wrap?

If you wanted to do that, IMO it should match the shape of the lower grille. i.e. instead of / \ should be \ /

Hope that makes sense LOL!

It does, but then it wouldn't match what's under it....

[fastlane]

Its just vinyl right? What about without it?

Was thinking that, might peel it off and see....

upgraded intercooler and frontlip spoiler...?

[BLN355]

Do want that lip
As for the black I reckon take it all the way to where the bumper comes down around the fogs. I was thinking of doing mine like that but matte black to match the grill surrounds.

Yeah I thought that but it's too much black... I have something in mind however...
