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

[GTI JOE]

Not really sure about the chemical composition. Initially I thought it would take longer being in cold weather, similar to Corey at 10deg. But lucky I only tried one panel to check how it was reacting with the paint, that's when I found out that it was drying too quickly for my liking. I did the rest of the car allowing 5-7 minutes per panel, this allowed the sealant to dry enough to buff off relatively easily. I think that this was about right.

[Corey_R]

Yeah - not sure about what effect the temp has either! I'd say that "I'll tell you in the summer", but as you know, Nanolex lasts 12 months so it means the next time I apply it on that car it'll still probably be cold! Mum has a Polo on the way later this year... maybe I'll be a nice son and apply it on her car?!

Thanks Joe,I was thinking of using the Nanolex wheel sealant, but the spray sealant seems like a much better option.So does the cold weather make Nanolex dry quicker or slower?cheerws

Used the Nanolex last summer on a hot mid 30oC day, car was garaged, but product was drying FAST, could only leave1-2 mins as too hard to buff off.Next time it will be definitely be a cooler day as a comparison

Today - I check to see if the body panels are flat enough for a GoPro HD car mount - it worked

Same idea as you today. Went to Healesville via Kinglake from Essendon. Came back via Eltham and Greensborough. Great twisties and hills. Had lunch at the RACV Country Club for the first time.....very swish. This car is just sic

Just back from Hobart for the weekend.

I have the day off tomorrow so wash, dry, clay bar, clean, Nanolex will be the order of the day,

So far I have...

- swapped RCD310 for Sony XAV-70BT head unit
- tinted windows
- replaced all interior bulbs and rear number plate bulbs with white LED lighting

Still to do...

- upgrade stock speakers
- replace stock headlight & foglight bulbs with Philips DiamondVision bulbs
- possibly replace parker bulbs with white LEDs
- ECU tune (if one ever becomes available!)

Also going to keep an eye out for any air intake and exhaust improvements that become available...

Hi Casper,

where have you buy your LED lighting?

[sVWatt]

Installed VIM CD and works a treat

Hi Casper,

where have you buy your LED lighting?

Got them from eBay. Lots of different sellers and different styles available. I tried a couple of different types before I found some I was happy with. Each bulb only costs about AU$1 so not a big deal to throw them away and try again if they're no good

Looking to order a K&N air filter (part no E-2997) for mine today. Will also finally look at getting some new headlight and fog light bulbs.

[PoloDave]

Don't order the filter, it's only worth it if you're doing it for the money saving over time. I did buy it and the only change is a slightly more audible turbo spool. No +500 horsepower, 1000 km/liter or other funny stuff

I'm happy with mine (had to import from the USA). Bit deeper sound, and same with the turbo, BUT I do notice a bit more horsepower in the sense that I can get some wheel spin in D

[PoloDave]

so does mine, with the stock filter and some good tyres too. Anyway, I'm waiting for K&N to design a full intake system to upgrade before chiptuning

[Trepid4tion]

after 500 or so km's im going to get the rear engine mount bushing removed and replaced with an OEM (currently getting a quote for a new one, the shop i had the bushing installed at threw out my old one instead of giving it back, was in a bad way when it was removed i think)

I miss the nice and quiet cabin... and hearing the turbo spool up... Although i will miss the grunty feel of the stiffer bushing and the better 1-2-3 shifting.

If anyone is after a SuperPro Rear Engine Mount Bushing let me know, it fits the 1.4 and the 1.2, Its the 70K Street one, not the 80K Competiton one.
