I personally havent done a CAI on the Polo. Most people including myself go for the factory looking Seat cold air intake. Search the forums and you will find lots of info on the Seat CAI.
There are a few Cold air intakes around for Golf's. They look like thay may fit on the Polo but you may (or may not) need to get a smaller battery. I have seen a few made of carbonfibre, so just shop around see what you find.

Depends on which model you have really. I had a custom SRI made for my 1.6L. If you have the GTI, then you'd definately go the SEAT intake (as your trumpet is actually a two piece, unlike the 1.6L). If you search this forum, you should see my previous custom SRI.

Panel filter's in my opinion arent of much use. You still dont get the mid-high end power compared to a pod. However, when you use a pod, you will suffer in the low-mid range. So it's dependant upon what you want at the end of the day.

How do you loose power down low by putting a pod on? lol..

Pickup. Not power. Thanks for the correction Kai.
