What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[PoloDave]

Thats very bad news I know how it feels, I'm on my third (!) rear bumper in 2 years, first replacement was after 2 weeks none of them my fault..

As for me: off with the winder mode and on with the summer mode

You brake too much...! LOL

Already summer mode? No more snow up there...? Here snow is predicted in the next two days over the hills...

OT: Netherlands is the home of Volksforum, I really like it: always full of wonderful pics...

[PoloDave]

You brake too much...!

I will try not to do that again

Temperatures are still low at night but it was 15 degrees C today so I couldn't wait anymore...
Volksforum is a very nice forum indeed

[kawabanga]

Ok, here it's almost the same, yesterday 18°C during the day, but I still cannot mount summer tires due to snow forecast...

BTW, I really like your rims, they must create a nice effect when rolling...
Crazy idea: what about a little strobo led light, in a certain position inside the wheel-house, pointed on the checkered band...?
May be ET is too low to point at it...

[Lemonskin]

Amazeer that sucks! Can't believe the damage the exhaust pipes did. What is the front bar made of clay or something? Dang.

Here, it was 35 yesterday when i left work, today it will be 32 degrees, tomorrow, the day after and the day after that, all above 30 degrees. in fact, for the next 9 days we are forecast to be over 30 degrees! I think if I remember correctly, in the last 4 weeks there have only been 3 or 4 days below 30 degrees

Ok, ok, for all of those wanting to know, I'll try and write something up

Damn, I wish we had that weather in Sydney.

Must say the car seems to run a little nicer in the cool weather!

Work was **** today. Everyone kept asking what happened to my car. Already got insurance assessed. New bumper, bonnet and grill. And because the spoiler is glued on I need to get another one. Radiator support panel is apparently carbon fibre so thats on standby. Wont really be able to tell if its needed until the bumper is out. I doubt it though.

Rude phone call from NRMA (other guys insurer) insisting that I admit liability. Working for an insurance company she should know that you arent ever allowed to admit fault. She kept saying if you run into the back of someone it is almost always your fault. I kept saying that may be true but I dont admit liability. Went on for quite a few minutes.

Do you reckon I should get to keep the old parts? Wonder if there is anything I can do to get the spoiler off. Its several hundred $$$ worth and unmarked if I could pull it off. Also the grill. It just has one tiny mark on it where the corner of the badge cutout rubbed. Might be able to polish it out. The badge itself has the chrome rubbed off it, so its either a paint or chuck item.

You could think of the up side and get one of these bad boyz:

Style A Lip Kit - Polo 6R

If the costs are to much different it would definitely make your car stand out!
