    The R-line kit looks remarkably similar to the kit available in Australia except for some of the detailing.

    Polo Accessories < Accessories < Owners Area < Volkswagen Australia
    If you take a look at the R-line and the sports kit, you would of noticed that the R-line is more like the GTI's front bumper stands out more than the sports kit if you get what i'm saying, more or less butchy

    yeah it is, but the front bumper extension is included/moulded in and it looks like they have used the GTI bumper as the basis for it, albeit with a few different touches in the grill area....

    Stage 2+ Intercooler Carbon Intake Downpipe Swaybar DV+ Remsa.

    My wish list for an R-Line package for the GTI would be:
    • R Front Bumper
    • R side skirts (maybe with black additions like the GTI normally has)
    • Keep the GTI rear bumper and diffuser the same (unless it could have split exhausts like the Golf GTI or central twin exhausts like the Golf R)
    • 17" R rims like on version at the Frankfurt motorshow
    • The standard GTI Alcantera sport seats but with R logo and maybe coloured stiching
    • Audio upgrade (it's standard now isn't it?)
    • Xenon Lights
    • R door sills
    • R front grill
    • R badge on the back but still with the GTI badge (GTI-R)

    All for about $3900 on top of the RRP would be good price point

    I have the Centered twin exhaust on my car, its a shame it can only be done on TSI Polo Variants only

    Also got news my custom Talladega Replicas are finished in the UK 5x100 Stud pattern 18x7.5 got it in a Matte black powder coat finish.

    So by getting the front bumper, skirts, roof spoiler, shark antenna, steering wheel i will be one happy Aftermarket Baby R look alike owner xD

    okie dokie, i need some Water cooled assistance.

    Can anyone on here tell me where i can possibly look to find the part numbers for the R-line?

    Reason is good news we can get them to AUSTRALIA!

    Bad news is that there is 5 different rear bumpers, 5 different side skirts, and so on

    Help me help Watercooled!

    The source or site that is telling you that there is 5 different of each doesn't have the part numbers?

    The main source is your dealers parts dept. Since these parts are not going to come here via VGA though, essentially it's a bit of a cat-and-mouse search/game. Look at other VW country sites and their accessories. Look at European parts suppliers and VW specialists. Even if something doesn't have pictures, keep note of the descriptions and piece the information together. Eventually you'll figure out what is most likely the correct parts.

    Unfortunately, someone always has to go first. For this, it'll probably be you

    Latest response about the R-Line package from VW:
    "We do not have any plans to introduce the R-Line package for Polo.
    For reference, the R-Line packages are not available for Polo GTI, nor is the Magma Orange (Hot Orange) as this colour is reserved for the Cross Polo."
