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

[Guest001]

Installed my dectane lights today very happy with the result. Took me about 15mins to do all the wiring and install. Pretty basic stuff with the instructions from fastlane. Someone who has done any type of electrical work such as installing a stereo or speakers will have no problem doing the install. Need to get some good photos later when its not raining and i get my camera out.



My car didnt come with foglights but im going to be fitting a set. I got this set of eBay so i decided to test its fitment. Pretty average fitment and im not to happy with it but hopefully a bit of fiddling around when i do the full install will get them sitting flush.

I reckon fog lights are a waste of money as you can only use them when conditions allow it.

Commonly called Wan++r lights up here. Look nice but useless

The stormtroopers in QLD are fining people for all sorts of minor things and this is one of them.

Leaving car unattended with window partly down is another one. Driving with on your lap is worth nearly $300 and 3 points.

Tail lights look nice though

Possibly they are usefull where you get fog? Plenty of places North, South & West of Sydney that often get the low white stuff. Even Sydney gets fogged in for several mornings every year. While not essential, they are helpful if fitted. I particularly like the corner turning & coming on with the blinker function on mine.

I think the rear fog light is more useful though - I use mine a lot in heavy rain, etc.

Unattended with partly open windows is an offense? Why? What do they do if you own a mini Moke or a convertable? Is having the sunroof partly opened an offense too? I do both all the time in hot weather. It sounds like one of those laws that needs to be contested & taken off the books.

Driving with what on your lap? Your dog? Your phone? Your missus? Your kids? The mind boggles.

This has been all over the news recently and I find it quite surprising that there could actually be a more nanny state than Victoria...but Queensland is certainly giving it a nudge lately.

Australia in general is nanny country! everything is either racist or against the law. Its going to be a country were expressing your opinion will soon be illegal

Its against the law to leave your car unlocked if you are more than 3m away. I guess windows being open is classed as unlocked.

Anyone want to do something to their Polo? Maybe sporty up a TSI or TDI? My GTI wheels are for sale... http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...res-93076.html

Woops typo A pet, a kid, your wife Any of them.

See oldies and women around here trying to reach the wheel with a bloody dog in their lap Dog jumping around, car doing the same.

Think its worth about $350 and 3 points here. So it should be as well hard enough to concentrate without that distraction.

Leaving windows open when unattended is frowned on for obvious reasons and of course doesn't apply to motorbikes.

Technically Mini Mokes can have side skirts with windows and convertibles probably should have the top up when parked.

Same with Jeep wranglers. Don't know what the cops think as they haven't said anything.
Used to see one of the Nobs in my area leave a Merc Kompressor parked for hours in a loading Zone with the top down and the parking wardens just ignored it despite several complaints.

How she never got the stuff sitting in the back seat pinched I will never know..

However the guy that got pinged was lucky as he got the cheapest ticket as the car was parked on the nature strip facing the wrong way.
He got a $44 ticket when it could have been several hundred if the cop was nasty.

True Fog lights don't turn, those are cornering lights as in the Passat The fogs are separate.

Its the Falcadores with the unfocused "other" lights that are the biggest offenders and the real W++kers put halogens or HID's in them and blind everyone.

The rear fogs are good if used properly but then again the same W++++s have them on at night and then you cant see the brake lights come on for the brightness of the fogs ( which I thought were actually parking lights as used in Europe)

Bizarre.

What do they do with convertables I wonder? I used to leave mine parked with the roof & windows down all the time. Or motorbikes for that matter.
