POLL: restyle
Every Polo LSi I see, looks exactly like mine.The same Solid color waterfall grill, wheels and spoiler.
I found a look that I like that I might want to emulate. It involves removing the spoiler, adding the JDM chrome grille and finished off with the JDM BBS mesh wheels. Somehow, without a spoiler, it attains a purer, more exotic look, the way a Gallardo looks without a spoiler. A more unique look than it already has. Ans a comparison of after and before .

Re: POLL: restyle
Personally I think the BBS mesh wheels are even more dated looking than the stock SVX wheels. I understand that they are rare, but to me they detract from the appearance of the car.

Re: POLL: restyle
The wheels I can go either way on. Yours are in such good shape.
If you do the chrome grill, which I think would look extremely good on the polo, you should also do the clear front signals.

Re: POLL: restyle
A big yes on the BBS cross spokes and the spoiler delete. The chrome grill isn't working though.
Those wheels are a bugger to keep clean but are worth the extra work.
