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

[mr_bzr]

Picked up my car today. Some enthusiastic but somewhat law abiding driving. Can't wait to take her out again tomorrow morning. Getting some paint sealant is up next.

My local detailer D and S auto offer Opticoat and G Techniq for the same price, I've read on various detailing forums but none have really said which is better if they are even that different at all... so now I'm stuck... given they're identical in pricing its really hard to choose, if one was more expensive that would be easy... what are you forumers thoughts?

Took the car in to the nice chaps at D and S Auto here in Adelaide to get some paint and fabric protection. They even removed the swirlies the dealer left there for me at no extra charge.

The curse of the black paint, now to keep it this shiny for a long time to come~

(Sorry no photos, camera died zzz)

Had H&R 25/40 springs and Whiteline swaybar installed today. Aside from looking so much better stance-wise, the car just sat flat-as through corners that had it leaning hard and understeering previously. Definitely money well spent On the down side Brisbane's crap roads make themselves felt a bit more, but nothing I can't live with. Wouldn't go 35/55 springs though, the ride is now firm enough for me. Looking forward to a good punt out in the countryside this weekend, and hopefully a tune in the near future (subject to a bit of software work, it seems I have a new ECU in my 77tsi).

Cool any daylight pics? Or comparison pics side by side?

[PoloDave]

was planning to make shoot pics today, but I had night shift and overslept a little so it was already dark here when I woke up
Here is a comparison pic from another car:




Installation is a piece of cake, its all plug & play. Just don't have big hands like me to undo the screw to get the unit out.
As far as I know I'm the only one in my country to have this mod

[Hail22]

Dont know where he got the number plate lights.. But I got the rear lights off Ebay for 100 euros including delivery.
There's a USA seller somewhere that sells the sets for $200 excluding shipping! So (German!) Ebay is the way to go. They don't show up often though, the first set I bought arrived damaged and checked Ebay for 3 weeks every day to find a new set..

This link should help finding it
