Hi guys.
I recently bought a second hand Polo (1.2 2002 9N) with a broken drivers side lock barrel. Unfortunately, VW wanted ~£50 just to look at it before even replacing the barrel.
Instead, I decided to just buy an aftermarket remote central locking kit (the polo already has electric central locking but with no remote). Specifically, I bought this one (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271031842020?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_5320wt_1228).
It claims to be "Easy to install" but I think that's totally dependent on knowing what wires do what in your car/where to find them. I was hoping one of you knowledgable dudes might be able to help.
Here's the reciever:

And here are the wiring instructions:

Here's a gallery of images I took of the underneath of the drivers footwell: Here (http://imgur.com/a/AheD8#0)
If any of you guys have any suggestions of where to put the wires, I would really appreciate it. I thought I'd be able to sort it myself but evidently not.
Cheers!
