You could change the interior lights to led. Makes a difference.

Not really a mod but u can denadge the rest of the car too for free.

I'd be careful doing the LED interior light thing.

I did all the interior lights on my TDI to LED and I would end up never using them as they blinded me any time I went to use them.

Much prefer the stock bulbs now IMO. Maybe have the central lights LED but definately keep the sunvisor lights as halogen... LOL  :jumping: :jumping:

Shorter aerial is always a nice, cheap mod. There are OEM ones which don't affect signal (don't have part number to hand but costs circa £10)

What's your budget?


Definetly do the LED interior lights, looks the nuts. Change the colour of the front and rear badges and emblems, colour code behind the rear emblem and front emblem. Seat inlays look good. Dead pedal blends in nicely with the other pedals. MY10 Polo Aeriel for OEM+. Open fog grills. Chrome switches. Climate control rings, chrome or black. Oh and Vinyl wrap things such as, colour code your GTI lip from red to body colour. All cheap as chips.
