Thanks Mate! First of all, the number of posts you are adding every day on Polo here on Team Bhp, surely shows your excitement and eagerness to get the Car. I was that keen when I was to buy my Cedia. Keep Posting
.
Wheel caps certainly would be the aftermarket choise. No mods as of now. Actually I am keen on the smoked headlamps and sourcing them from Uk is also no problem (I have friends and relatives up there who can bring it up for me). But I just want to be sure if the Basic structure is same or not (I think it should be same but still want to be sure). Secondly, I was keen on Foglights but looking at the prices of wheel cover (1650/- each)
and VW alloys (20k each), I dont think they will cost any thing under 25-30k. Lastly I have seen aftermarket alloys, all black with red circle outline. they were a similar design as of the OZs and costs about 15k (set of 5). I think I will get them in some time.
The AC is doing an excellent job in Delhi summers and I liked it. Since I am used to a chiller AC of Cedia, this one surely stood up to my expectations.
Regarding the seat covers, yes I liked the kinda leather stuff seat covers from VW but they cost about 13k. So, if I am to spend that kinda money, I will rather get Stanley (budget ones for 18k). Also, I dont like that fact that people dont use their original upholstery and get normal seat covers right away, thinking the seats wont get dirty. I think its better to use the original for about a year, then dry clean them up and get the new fabric covers in. However, if some one is keen on leather seats, its all together a different scenario. Fabric seat covers on new fabric seats doesnt make sense to me.

Thanks Revy, will surely keep updating the thread with my experiences.
Congratulations for the Figo, the car is real VFM, I personally didnt like the petrol engine but the Diesel is an excellent motor having already proved itself on ikon and the fiesta. Take care and Drive Safe.

1650 for a wheel cover! that is way too costly. I would expect these to be localised. You should try getting a price list for body parts for the Polo.
The most awaited part now is the pictures. unleash the red German beauty soon.
I would second him on the gearshift part. It's the best in class IMO. We both went for a TD of the Figo and Polo together and after the average experience of Figo the Polo was a very nice experience. |
Thanls LOW, the wheel cover surely would be localised but there are some companies love to mint money, remember Honda selling alloy wheels of ANHC for 20k each, same is the case here.
I will try to get list of spares on saturday. And yes, this weekend you will have to turn up drive the car, dont expect me to come over
.
Lastly, Polo surely was a very nice experience after having driven the average Petrol Figo!

Certainly, no argument on that part, the front side skirt of Cedia costs about 16,500/- plus paint 2k or something. Its surely luxury.. so no complaints.
