Just wanted to point out, if you look up the K&N part number here its actually for the non turbo model... don't know why tho, didn't think there was a 1.2 non turbo.
Good news guys, went to a friend at autobarn today and pulled apart the air intake etc.
Found that there isn't too much modification to the stock box etc that needs to be done.
I didn't take pics as we were doing it but basically we took out the stock filter which was a pod like shape already, mounted a Pod filter bracket to the top of the airbox and then whacked on a pod filter, high flow.
The car is insane now, way more play on the turbo, way more responsiveness, it feels more like a little go cart now with its responsiveness. I didn't think it would make much difference but jeez it did. Its mainly mid-high revs you get the difference with added take off in first - something the TSi was dearly lacking.
Best part is, to take it back to Volkswagen for warranty i just detach the pod and bracket and re-attach the original filter. About 10 minutes of work.
I'll try and get pics when i get back under the bonnet this weekend.
Looking forward to the pics, always interested to hear of performance boosts with little outlay of money
Please post details of filter parts numbers, names etc....

Ditto, keen to see some pics. Sounds like a very cost effective and uncomplicated modification that delivers.

I notice on the NZ and UK cars that the lower grille has a chrome strip that breaks up the black, does anyone know the part number for the grille with the strip?
Hi again all,
Can anyone help me, I'm at work and cant get out to look but i want to pickup a set of globes for the polo, I've found that the headlights are H7 but I can't find anywhere on VW or the internet what the foggies are.
From outside viewing they look H4 or H7 but cant tell for sure... rather than waiting till i get home tonight to take them out I thought I'd try here first!

Don't worry, found out... H8 is the globe you need - just so you all know for future.
