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

[GTI JOE]

Looked a little seventies as well

[PoloDave]

Didn't know what I was expecting to be honest Oh well for about $8 it was worth the try

If you decide you want to take those wheels off too - I'll take them .... v.nice PoloDave. What make are they ?
Recon they'd look awesome on my grey vehicle.

Wheels are Bellini Bella HB 17'', and I'm planning to take them off again after one of my friends forgot to tell me he had some anthracite GTI replica's collecting dust just after I bought these..

First little, review after the weekend for the rear sway bar and rear engine mount bushing...

/drool....

That is all... But in all honesty, the rear sway bar is worth its weight in gold, car handles alot better in the rear (kind of tested this on the way to work thismoring... not illegally of course >>), and thats only on the middle setting, not sure how big a difference it is up or down from that. And the bushing is started to "settle", theres much less vibration now and shifting is still nice and smooth.

Condition of purchase from the misses...boot scuff protector...



Now I wish I bought a Silver car...but at least it matches the alloys right?

Looks much better than countless scratches, smears and gouges thanks to prams, golf clubs or dead bodies...

One thing I discovered a few weeks ago.

When the car is turned off and you turn on the indicators (left or right) the park lights will turn on! So you can park your car next to the road, turn on the indicator and people will be able to see your car and not crash in to it

Took delivery of my H&R monotube coilovers today.

Just tossing up if I fit them now or wait till the APR sway bars are available and do them at the same time...

[Frostee]

Bought a nice selection of detailing products including Nanolex paint sealant

Yeah, did that about a month ago Frostee, had to use the cayman island account to keep it from my wife
Did you get the Nanolex Kit? (Paint Cleaner & Sealant) , do you think you will pick-up your car this weekend? or the next..like me

[alias_vw]

If you haven't picked it up already, do yourself a favour and get the glass sealant too.

I went for a drive last night and it was absolutely chucking it down (seriously torrential)...everyone else with wipers going full pelt and I didn't even need them on.

LOL sounds the same for me re the wife. I got the following

- Nanolex paint sealant kit
- Nanolex glass sealant kit
- Mint clay bar kit
- 303 aerospace spray for the internal hard surfaces, and the fabric protector
- Nanolex car-wash detergent

Re my car, yeah looks like it will most likely be delivery weekend after this one - another week won't kill me

Speaking of detailing, what do people use to prevent the leather steering wheel from going all shiny over time... or to restore it back to it's original matte finish?

The product that Frostee mentioned above....303 aerospace spray.

Looks like we will be taking delivery at the same time, all going well that is

Best use a specific leather conditioner and protectant, unfortunately you won't be able to stop the surface going shiny, the oils in your hands and constant rubbing burnish the surface but if you want to delay it, look at this sort of stuff:
