What did you do to your Polo today?

What size wheels/tyres ?

The tyre / wheel arch gap looks bigger than normal in that last pic .. maybe the angle ?

What do you think of the Yoko's? How much were they?

Too soon to tell and they were bloody expensive. If they don't live up to their price I will be pi$$ed off

Fitted the BMC filter just then. Went for a "quick" drive and found the car drives alot smoother with the APR v2. Now boost spikes to 20psi and settles at 16psi. Drive is alot better too with a smooth power delivery rather than a rush of power like it used to. Who knew a simple filter could change it soo much

Tinted the rear windows:

Got my APR downpipe installed today at Volkspower. The guys there did an awesome job and am very happy with the result. More power and grunt than before and seems to flow much better than before. Thanks to Dean and the guys at Volkspower. Will be back soon for more in the future!!!

I must say though, the factory downpipe is quite a heavy bugger for a small thing that it is and the APR downpipe has made the car a little more louder than before. Doesn't really bother me but wifey has noticed a difference and hasn't said much in terms of any complaints but then again, she doesn't sit in my car often.

Sounds exactly like the review I was hoping for - a little more power and a smidgen more noise. Definitely next on the todo list

Tinted the rear windows:

Gone for the Lexus RX style I see. Sorry to say mate but I think it looks poo. It looks like you ran out of money to do the fronts.

Why did you not do the fronts?

The difference in tint percentage is too much IMO, at least lightly tint the fronts so the difference is not so noticeable.

[RoSonic]

Well, the front tint is ilegal here... that is the reason...

But I like the result...
in the end I think it's a matter of taste.

[VWindahouse]

Sorry Ro, I'm with POLO GTI on this one

[RoSonic]

Don't get me wrong! I agree with you that with the fronts done as well it will look a LOT better.
but as I said, front tint is not legal here... if they stop you for this they'll give you a ticket and will suspend the registration certificate until you remove the tints...

[VWindahouse]

Fair enough mate What's next?

[RoSonic]

I am waiting for the correct Powerflex front whisbone bushes - as I received the wrong ones... :|
when they will arrive, they will go on along with rear cupra bushes and mondeo droplinks.

that is "NEXT"

My windows are tinted darker on the rear too, its a matter of legality as well as safety, you dont look out your rear windows as much as you do the side windows next to you thus you can tint them more. Same reason you cant tint your windscreen, just the strip at the top.
