You are right. Just that polo red has become a little too common. Probably thats why more and more polo folks are going for grey and black now.

I got it from Hot tracks (9845106938) in Bangalore. You could also try at Evo (9845376094) in Bangalore. You should try them. Trust me. Have seen those in black and beige. I wanted to remove as much beige as possible and hence went for black

Wish you lots of miles of happy driving . I am a bit surprised about your comment on the paint quality though , hope your dealer didn't scrap it somewhere . |
I am surprised as well. The service folks at dealer side too. They told me that they never encountered a paint issue so far. Lets see how it goes.

IMO, the standard mud flaps available at VW showrooms mar the Vento's looks by around 42% |
Spot on. I just couldn't digest the stock ones. Much over sized and didn't go well with Vento at all. Same with all VW floor mats. So got rid of both.

I got the Kagu 3D mats as well, I agree this is must have for Vento, the mats stick wonderfully and dont dangle here and there |
Thanks Shantanu. Yes, I am really happy with those mats. Glad you go them too. Red wants to meet white. when?

have a few questions
1. the sunfilm looks to be to dark, are they to the RTO specification and its cost?
2. what is the cost of the art leater interiors, did you do any aditional padding for tigh support ect, and what are the locations where it was put other than the seats.
3. Are the sill plates from VW, is it lit and what is the cost?
I am expecting my vento in a months time and so am researching on the upgrades. |
1. In fact, its not dark, its the medium one. Visibility from inside is very good. I dont think it would have issues with RTO spec. Added all prices in my earlier post on this thread.
2. Didn't put much extra support. Did it only on seats, arm rests (front and rear) and the portion under the hand brake. See pics.
3. Yes, its from VW. Rs 1000/-
All the best on your new Vento

And those seat covers are sweet.
Just wanted to know , when you say got it done through Satya, means he introduced you to ovion guys or you paid to satya he got it done . |
Thanks Schoudhury. On seats and sun films, my deal was with Satya (Evo) and I paid him. He handled the payment aspects with Ovion and 3M. I went to Ovion, had discussions on 'how to do' part and got the work done. Worked well for me.

Thanks to my better half for ideas and Sudham and his folks at Ovion for getting it done.

The lack of iPod hook-up or pen drive port is an obvious disadvantage . IMO , the speakers are good though the drive may be upgraded |
Not sure if I agree on sound quality. For instance, increase the volume and you will see. I keep the bass at 0 or below. That improves it a little. Hopefully another visit to Satya at Evo (an expensive visit, probably) will make it all much better..
Btw, M Knoffler and D Gilmour - I am with you anyday

Were these fitted on your existing seats or did they remove the existing seat fabric and fix this? and if you don't mind, what is the cost of the same? |
Thanks f1fan. They did remove the stock seat fabric. Its all packed in a Ovion bag and is lying inside one of the racks at home.
