Welocme! Best colour!  :happy2: :happy2:

Jget it lowered and on a set of nice wheels!  :happy2: :party:

De-Badging the rear could improve the look of the rear end too? I done it on my old polo.

How to:

Hair dryer to heat up the letter glue (just a little bit mind)

Dental floss/fishing line to take them off.

Tar remover to take off the rest of the glue.

Done!

Agree on the debadge, did it on my 1.6 FSI and makes the rear look cleaner and more discreet!



Other mods you can do:

~ MK5 Polo Stubby Aerial.
~ Colour Coded Rear Valance (Clean look or twin exhausts (GTI/R32) though the latter will need extra work on a 1.6 FSI).
~ Facelift the front bumper to the GT,GTI or Jetta style which imo makes the frontend a bit more aggressive!
~ GTI Sideskirts to go with the rear valance and frontend.
~ Rear Dewipered.
~ Lowering Springs or Coilovers for extra lows or Airride if you have a big budget!
~ Upgrade the 15" wheels to something a bit more bigger.
~ MK6 Golf Chrome Light & Window Switches.
~ Cherry Red Hazard Switch!
~ Upgrade the standard stereo for a MK6 RCD/RNS double din stereo to keep the factory look... or go aftermarket.
~ GTI or R32 Seats!
~ Projector style headlights
~ Tinted rear lights, or get the LED version and convert it for RHD.
~ Wrap/paint the centre console for a fresher look.

There probably loads more you can do which I haven't mentioned! But enjoy the car!
