Hi,
First of all forgive me for the usage of English but i dont know German, havent spoken them for the last 15 years. I hope you can tolerate this.
Three months ago i decided that it was about time to move on from my previous most beautifull polo 6N.
When 6R came out in 2009 i immediately fell in love with it. In my eyes it was the righteous successor of the 6N by the standar of looks.
So i bought a used vw polo 6R TSI Highline 1.2 lt with 105 horsepower. Colour pepper grey.
The previous owenr already has done some modifications on it. He had installed the OZ Racing Turismo alloys + has installed
the GTI upper honey comb grill. Here are the rims :

What i've managed to do in 3 months are the following. I have wraped with 3M scotchprint Gloss black vinyl the Red trim of the GTI grill and the
chrome trim from the Highline lower grill. Sadly i broke right in the middle the chrome trim while trying to pry it out. To everyone's warning it's too delicate
so you need to be extra carefull while trying to pry it out. I am not really fond of the looks of the gloss black although i did a good job with it.
To complete the black out look, i bought from the internet two gloss black VW emblems...not really satsified with the quality of the front badge, since
it turned out red from the heat of the engine (made in china)
The result is the following:IMAG0088.jpgIMAG0089.jpg
+ the rear emblem :IMAG0087.jpg
I bought from ebay a GT Speedometer and GT Gear knob, i've installed the Shift knob (but still need an oetiker one ear clamp ring to secure it)
I havent installed the tacho yet, maybe i'll do it this week hopefully....
Also as far as the interior is concerned i have wrapped with the same gloss black vinyl the door handles and the upper thingy of the interior light, again not
100% satisfied with the quality of the vinyl, it tends to show all dirt and it's not 100% gloss like glass it has those small tiny holes like breathing holes,
i have wrapped them two times in order to perfect them

Also wrapped with some 3m Di noc carbon (bought it & used it some years ago for my 6N) the dashboard but i'll change it in the near future.
So for my future plans are these :
- Change leather highline steering wheel with a T5 non multifunctional one (dont know what to do with the airbag)
- Change the antenna with a bee sting one
- Change 310rcd with 510Rns (maybe not sure about it )
- Install a rear camera (maybe not sure about it )
- Change the interior foil to something better looking
- Change the exterior trim foil to something better looking
- Add some stickers
ps: cant lower the car because of the road quality here, if i lower it i am asking for trouble...
Thanx a lot and i would be gratefull for any additionall ideas, information etc !
ps 2 : Sorry for the not so clean interior/exterior but i havent found time to clean the car properly (properly=4-5 hours) for the last two weeks.
I promise to upload new ones when it's clean ! Also a whole photo of the car
