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

[Hail22]

2012 Volkswagen Polo 6R GTI MY13 Direct-Shift Gearbox

So this is my written off Polo, I can tell since I did the auto lights mod and BT touch unit is missing. Buyer beware.

I'm amazed they still allow rebirthing write-offs in QLD...the only state in the whole country haha!

I thought most allowed if it isn't a stat write off?

[Guest001]

There is a difference between a repairable write off and a statutory write off The first can be fixed, the second cant ever.

NSW Never See here http://www.carhistory.com.au/news/ar...a-f7a962143bf8

Yeah QLD I believe from memory is the only state that allows repairable write-offs but NSW, Vic, SA, WA do not allow it (From memory once more).

[readerr0r]

Its a bit lame that they banned it in NSW, but didn't provide a free service to check VINs and that Carsales lets you post an ad without the VIN. I've added a picture showing the VIN which is the same as the VIN on the listers rego sticker.

And to help out anyone who happens to google it, it's Wvwzzz6rzcy543179

Also, is the warranty still valid for a repair write off?

Just got my steering re-trimmed to alcantara.

[MrDeathLad]

picked up my new wheels today and have started the process of un-defecting the polo... yeah, if finally happened... but not because of too low, because too loud. but you get that when only half the exhaust is attached. also claim the wheels are to big (they noticed the scrub marks from when i had the fronts spaced) didnt even think it was because of too low, though im luck they didnt check. also tried to get me for the factory privacy tint in the rear that comes with the sports pack. they were pretty good about the whole thing though, explaining their reasons and what not. got till monday to sort it all, easy...

How funny they try to bust you for a legal tint (because you are legally allowed to have pitch black windows on the back side doors / hatch) but they don't notice how low the car is - like the back of it is literally scraping on the floor!!! haha, what di*ks.

Also they can't bust you for the wheels if they aren't sticking out the guards. The only thing they could get you on is if you haven't kept the same rolling diameter. Scrubbing is your problem, not Vicroads.

I guess the only thing he can get you for is the exhaust. He didn't bust you the day you posted the video without any exhaust components did he?

Just wondering because if he busted you with your muffler delete like most are running it might be bad news for us...

I believe it is illegal for wheels/tyres to foul any part of the vehicle. If you blow a tyre due to scrubbing on some part of the guard or suspension because something was outside legal specification, and cause an accident where you injure or end somebody's life... then I wish you well in a court of law.

Suggest you read & understand both the State & Federal regs regarding wheel width, track increases, spacers & interferance with suspension or body parts.

I'm not saying the regs are right or that MrDeathlads vehicle was unsafe but the wallopers have to work to something.
