Where can I have my Volkswagen Polo's airbag reactivated?

I have bought a used Volkswagen Polo on which the passenger side airbag was deactivated by the previous owner. Volkswagen is quoting £120.00 for this work. Could you recommend somewhere else who would do it at a cheaper price?

In 2010 you stated that "You only ever turn off the passenger airbag when fitting a rear-facing baby carrier in the front passenger seat." However, this advice is wrong. Please see here: www.cdc.gov/features/passengersafety/...
