Thanks! I will definitely post a comparo by Thursday along with performance figures and FE! May be more pics?!! Quote:

Yes. It is the same chrome strips. With Red you already have the required contrast WRT the blackened part of the front bumper. With black, Chrome strip will add to the contrast given by the head light and the fog lamps. IMO chrome strips will look good on any color. Talk to kishore. It is available in 15 days. Will cost around 3.5K Quote:

The rear brake as you mentioned is not a ventilated disc brake, its a solid drum brake. Discs do not feature on the present engines we have. They may appear once the super-hot 1.6 TSi enters the arena.
Nice pics and you had another POLO for company.
Have a great ride and keep posting updates on various accounts like service, spares etc
Cheers,

Thanks Srinath! Thanks for the information also. Just wanted to know the difference between Solid drum break and a non-ventilated disk break?
Will definitely keep this thread running on service and spares. Quote:

Great pics there, IMHO Polo is a far more refined product overall (not discussing engine here) compared to most cars available on the streets. The finesse is there for everyone to see, just can't take that away from the Polo. Man, I still cant get over the Polo gear shift... best one yet !

PS: The photos make the doors look a bit flimsy and sensitive esp around the A/B pillar. Is it just me ? or other too feel that way. |
I wanted sun films for both privacy and cooling effect. But you make me think about 50 SR seriously. Will check on it. Your input on this? ![I agree](https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/images/smilies/I agree.gif) There are definitely better engines around. But polo's is not bad either. Apart from the engine, nothing else can stand up to Polo.
B pillar in Polo is very thick & strong to take care of the safety aspect. Door frame is very sturdy below the glass window. But around the glass, things are made mainly to support the glass window. This is fine. No problem. Quote:

IMHO the chrome strip will not look very great on POLO. I would suggest you to try doing a PS before going for the real Chrome strips. The pics are really good. Looking forward to your detailed review on the 3 pot TDI engine. |
Aa thanks Atishi1. I am getting them by Thursday! I will definitely dedicate a post on the 3 pot engine. You can except it by Friday.
Chrome strips are the ones which are on Europian Polo. They look classy. Check there UK site. http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/#/new/po...ure/models/691
