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

[PoloDave]

Love the wheels and tyres PoloDave! Look forward to seeing them on. Is your car lowered?

Can you give some more specifics ie wheel and tyre details and where you purchased them?

Thank you. Car is sitting on AP coils, rear at lowest setting and front 2 cm thread left. Might have to raise the front a hair. Got the set second hand, after hunting it down for months literally, it was always just out of reach for me

Going to look good, Loving the stretch. Are they real bbs or reps + what offset?

Tnanks, They are reps, real ones are pushing €2k+ over here. Front and rear are both ET35, if ET is proven too high I can always use 5mm spacers to make them fit

Finally got my seat squeak fixed. Took it to the dealer and it took them 1 and a half days to fix it...god knows why. Whilst it was there also got first year/15,000 service. I noticed that instead of using Castrol they put Shell Helix Ultra Extra. Will be keeping an eye out for consumption if there is any. Mine stopped consuming massive amounts of oil a few months before first service and i hope it stays that way.

Meanwhile, whilst i was searching the internet for goodies, I found on gumtree a Forge motorsport intake for $600. Not sure how much they usually are but I thought i'd post and let everyone/anyone who is interested in a cheaper alternative CAI.

Also found some add-on lips, skirts and bumper for those interested!

A word of caution, Bodykits kingdom was the exact same company that said they had to release the R20 bar that I had enquired about (which was subsequently destroyed by customs)...so caviet emptor.

Finished my custom 2.25" down pipe on the TSI today. It's 2.25" back to the crossmember then tapers back in to the stock exhaust using a custom long reducer that has a very gradual taper over about 250mm. The tone of the exhaust is the same but maybe 10% louder all the way through the RPM. Much more subtle than a straight-through muffler. Can't help but to want a bit more noise but the wife says no! Unfortunately, I won't be doing a dyno run until after getting a DNA tune which will be after I bring it in for the DSG recall which will be goodness knows when

Got my Bury Adapter all up and working, thanks to Miro(Transporter) doing the job in the carpark at work for me the other day.



Also went back on my Mud Flap whim and pulled them off.

What is the offset on your 18x7.5 Aristos? (45 or 35)

Kind regards VEEEUU

Looks awesome! If there's one option I regret not getting, it's the Panoramic Roof! You should get some plate covers - that would really set it off!

Apologies for the poor quality photos. Installed a new stubby antenna and iPhone cradle instead of the touchscreen.[IMG][/IMG]

After a huge setback after coming back from vacation (long story) I wanted to get my mind off some things so I tried on the new rims

Amazing what a wheel can do to the look of a car:






Best compliment of all: After driving around for 10 minutes I got pulled over by 2 cops.. They just wanted to admire the car!

Edit: looking at the pictures, it needs some spacers at the rear!

[kawabanga]

Dave, really beautiful...!!!


BTW, 18" are already permitted in Netherlands or you had to ask for logbook modification...?
