5 extras you should retrofit on a used Volkswagen Polo.

By Chad Luckhoff

We round up 5 hot accessories for the Volkswagen Polo 6R/C and current Polo Vivo.

The fifth generation Volkswagen Polo was made available from 2009 up until its replacement in 2018. Internally, it was called the 6R and later the 6C when the facelift came around. The 6R is still in circulation though, but as the Polo Vivo. That means that this list of accessories is great for a used 6R Polo or even the new Polo Vivo.

The aftermarket scene in South Africa loves the Volkswagen brand and the Polo is a firm favourite amongst enthusiasts. That means that there is tonnes of stuff available for just about all tastes and preferences. We've only selected 5 of the items we think rock!

 

1. Quad exit diffuser

R749.00

This R-Style diffuser is perfect for TSI and TDI models that don't have the same look or feel as the GTI. Constructed from high-quality plastic, this diffuser has four dummy exhaust tips to create that powerful look you're after. This item will require some modifications to the original bumper in order to get a sleek fit and finish.

 

2.  VW Polo matte black 3-Piece front lip spoiler

R799.00

Get a racy look without having to resort to a full body kit. This three piece front lip is aggressive and stylish all at the same time. Constructed from high-quality lightweight plastic, this lip will withstand a few small knocks and bumps without breaking apart like fibreglass. Suitable for 6R Polo TSI and TDI models but will not fit 6C Polo GTIs.

 

3.  VW Polo 6R TSI OEM-style fog lamps

R999.00

Max Motorsport

This set of two OEM-style fog lamps will elevate the overall appearance of your Polo and make it look like the higher-spec Highline models, for a fraction of the price. Sold in a set of two, left and right, these fog lamps feature a corrosion-resistant housing and Halogen lightbulbs. Fitment is quick and easy, although fog lamp covers are sold separately.

5. VW Polo steering wheel trim (Silver)

This silver trim piece coveras the spokes of your steering wheel, giving it a silver shine – elegant and classy. It doesn't interfere with the steeringwheel audio controls and will not get in the way of the airbag either.
