    Hello from India!

    Hi everyone,

    Came to know about this forum from google, taking inspiration from the many Polo 6R builds here. Awesome work!
    The 6R is the first generation of the Polo to be launched in India and a mainstream model along with the Vento (Polo sedan) which is yet sold only in a handful of countries like Russia and India.

    Though our Polos are the same generation they are quite different from the ones sold in Australia. After market studies showed the Indian customer preferred chrome and beige, VW India decided to give us chromed headlights and twin chrome slat grille. Since these parts aren't available elsewhere in the World, I thought I'd give an opportunity to you all to pick up my immaculate condition grille and headlights!

    Let me know what you think of them!

    Himanshu,

    Welcome to OZ. Like the look if the grill. Wheels also look better than the standard Comfortline Model in OZ (my opinion of course).

    Thank You all for such a warm welcome.
    VW has had a runaway success with the launch of these models though they aren't selling as well as their competitors but manage 2500-3000 units a month each.
    For the world these chrome headlights and twin slat grille might be unique but for us they are commonplace. I imported a gti grille for myself. Debadged it and vinyling the red stripes in black this week. As for the headlights I am planning to get a set of the xenons from dayline but since the Polos here have mk4 wiring harness there might be compatibility issues with the DRLs and auto-levelling. Another reason why the RCD510 units can't be installed either.

    If anyone's interested in either the chrome HLs or the grille, hit me up!
