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

[Hail22]

sweet



i dont know how you'd go with the inner guard clearance with ET45...i dare say* it would be ok after playing around with a wheel offset calculator.

*but dont take my word for it

The seller has confirmed the size of the wheel will be built based upon what the (polo can handle) the factory/manufacturer are pulling up numbers before start the batch offset etc.

But he said maximum offset for the Polo Talladega wheels will be +35...safe?

Also need to find some Tyres now...help? [COLOR="Silver"]

yep that's me - 18x8 ET35 with 225/35 tyres and H&R springs

can turn full lock with no rubbing but some very minor rubbing (on the front, driver's side plastic inner-guard) if you hit a decent bump at speed.

just got back from the hunter valley and port stephens (crap country roads) with no dramas...just ticked over 4000km on the odo while i was there

would be keen on listening to a sound lip of your new exhaust if you get a chance

Well I can live with the occasional big bump-induced rub. I want the width of the 8" rim (with the right offset, which would be in the order of 30-35) as the 7" Boavistas sit too far inboard now that my buggy is lowered. I notice that the recommended tyre on some wheel retailers' sites that I've been on recently is 215/35, interesting.

Once I'm happy with the note (i.e. put the resonator back in and toned down the rasp) I'll see what I can do

This is a nice little touch for the Engine Bay.

Took 5 hours but it's been washed, alloys cleaned and sealed, clay bar on the paint and sealed with nano wax.

Looooooks good

Took my car for a spin up the freeway to ikea which was fun BUT then someone in the car park left a 1/2 inch dench in my front passenger door and no note

Any idea of cost to fix these dings? Unfortunately looks like dent plus paint damage.

Also wondering if anyone knows any good local suppliers for side protection mouldings for the polo.

[gavs]

Depending on where it is, for painless dent removal look at around $110 per dent. With paint damage, you will have to factor that in also.

Side moldings? Do dice there my friend, search German eBay maybe.

Vacuumed and cleaned the wheels. Was thinking of washing the car but seeing as though forecast for February is only 4 days of sun overall i'd just let nature do it's thing.

what a cock

what a cock

Yep. Annoying thing is that the paint is damaged. Wouldn't have been so bad if just a dent as there seems to be lots of dent removal people that only do paintless dent removal.

What I've done with my new Polo GTI? Rally Australia license plates, Lil German flag on the boot, window tint all around also the Touch Screen radio unit I vacuumed it today AND I wash it every Monday!

What I want to get, LED license plate lights.... And put in the MMI cable and Bluetooth in the car.

Ok. Seriously impressed with the Nanolex products! Brake dust just falls off the alloys, dust and exhaust soot just wipes off and any rain on the windscreen beads off. Awesome stuff. Well worth the $$$$

Update for all Polo users wanting ABT products, Ramspeed has been dropped as supplier and given to TUNEHOUSE | Premium Automotive Workshop.

Went in to look at KW coilies, not cheap at all $2200 installed.

They're currently working on an in house tune for VWs etc.

Update on wheels: Currently back in visualisation/redesign phase, first run off passed crush test and ride test however cracks appeared in wheel wall due to bore being too wide rather than at standard. 57.1

Looks like a few months before they perfect it and i get my hands on my black OEM Talladegas 18x8 ET 35.

For winter tyres, mandatory during winter here, I found four Santamonica used rims from an old Golf IV GTI: 17" and ET35, they were a little scratched so I decided to paint them...

The result is not so bad, overall I like the new ET that give the GTI a little more width...

I forgot to say that I also added foot lights, not present on GTI, standard equipment on High-line version (may be we have different version from you).

The foot lights are very cheap, VW code 7L0 947 415, 21.6€ the couple and they perfectly fit on the bulkhead just above the foot place.
I connected the cables directly on the roof light, without any cable cut or modification (see pic)
The new cable pass thorugh the roof and windshield pillar covering.
The lights will be on only when you unlock or open the doors...

I got my Polo professionally detailed on the weekend. Got the paint protection polish onto her because it was on a train from WA for 3 weeks... thought if i pampered her it would look good...luckily for me she lives in an undercover multi storey car park so I'm not going to move her until the weather looks a little better! haha

positive of living in the city i guess.

Tschüs!

What do you guys think?

Can't see any other photos but it looks to me like a front splitter/spoiler that glues/bolts on to the bottom of the Polo

car front spoiler for VW polo products, buy car front spoiler for VW polo products from alibaba.com

minimum 30 units...god damn...and Carbon Fibre finish?!?!
