) or is there anything I should be changing/adding?
Straight in, only things to note are that the polo clocks light up green and you'll have a new mileage figure (unless you're extremely lucky!)
On mine I had to remove one of the warning light bulbs as it was always lit, can't quite remember what it was for though, sorry!

could change the colour filter if that's what you mean
clocks should be fine swapping over, are the polo clocks from a valver?

I put polo clocks in mine and they worked fine apart form water temp light flashin at me,mine a 1.6 only differance was i had 6k on the rev counter on the polo had 7!still worked though,i took mine out coz iv go 67k on the clocks and polo had 124k,i wount be to botherd if i didnt have a full service history!
have your original clocks got a clock where the rev counter is on the polo ones?
if your original clocks didnt have a rev counter then as far as i know you will need to wire the rev counter up.think they are normally fed off the alternator
not the rev counter in the corsa i had, there was a cable coming out of the gearbox, and it went into the back of the clocks. I fitted GSI clocks to a 1.4 8v, they worked fine
but they were mechanical, not electrical

did you solder in some of your own LEDs? how hard was it, as i want to put LEDs in mine
those dials are a standard gti 16v speedo but mines not quite standard anymore
the red strip sits on the top under 2 x 509 bulbs to make a coloured glow i've pulled mine out as they are now blue led versions
the traffic lights are reloacated warning lights as the strip of clear ones at the bottom in their place is a sequential shift light i'm trying to squeeze inside
like i say as far as i know you will need to wire it off the k terminal on the alternator if yours has one as far as im aware
you can get the mileage re calibrated.loads of places do it these days.costs around £30
I have a set of used Arosa clocks for sale which are the same as the MK4 polo with 53K on them if you want some pics and dimensions. Also bought some green LED bulbs from germany which, require some soldering if your interested.
