What did you do to your Polo today?

[Buller_Scott]

Went yesterday to take the car from the service - after being repaired due to an accident - and they forgot to paint the middle of the front bumper in black... so, left it there for one more "try" - hope it's finished soon )

did you get pics of what it looked like without the black middle? i'd like to see a pog gti without the big V shape standing out...

[Blitzen]

Yeah i've seen those But i am more curious to see what it looks like, because in this case Blizten, trimmed the middle posts all the way down. Others only trimmed it slightly - Wondering how big the middle intake looks in comparison.

I got the grill off eBay last year. I think it's an FK brand grill.

I have the Porsche twists arriving next week, and I hope to have them fitted to the car with tyres next Saturday. After that I will look at getting a set of coilovers after I get back from the USA and settled in when I move down to Canberra.

Front on shot... Not the worlds greatest shot, but you can see the lip...




With the debadged grill, I found the FK item on the Venom Motorsport site, but after trying to deal with them to get this item last year, I am pretty sure they won't send to Australia. Try them out though.

the front lip looks sick. i really want to buy one.. especially since the dollar is so strong however i wouldnt be able to install it. Love the look of your polo iboost. definitely think the honeycomb grill and badgeless look is a must xD

Worked on the Polo for 6 hours Friday till late and just finished insulating the rear floorpan and hatch, wheel well and wheel arches with Dynamat and Dynapad.

Now to hear the difference...........

Thanks man... Just need to be lower now.

Before we took the front bar off, we had no idea how to do it... We just plodded along, took the screws off on the inside of the wheel well, along the top of the bar near the grill, the clip in studs under the car, and the clips behind the fog light surrounds, and pulled the bar off... That took 15 minutes... Then it was simply a case of finding center on the lip and the bar, lining them up to where we wanted it, and drilling pilot holes for the screws... The lip is very flexable, so its easy to bend to the curvature of the lower bar valance... The whole job from start to finish took just over 2 hours... I think we did ok considering that we had never fitted one nor pulled the front bar off before.

I don't have any pics. It did't look bad without it, but I wanted to have it as it was

In the meanwhile I got the car back - now I'm only waiting for another set of honeycombe grilles from vaglink - because they have replaced the two broken ones with stock ones :| .

Snap - yeah i love the stuff -


I still haven't been able to figure out how to get the carpet from over the wheel arches without damaging it - so still have to do them...
and the hatch will be done whilst installing the reversing camera

[instigator]

do you hear diffrence in noise clearly after using dynamat?

[flat6]

Nice job on the dynamatting, always wanted to do that, any improvement in lowering cabin noise?

I just love playing with this stuff - results or not lol

Yes and no to the noise difference - it does noticiably lower the noise level but does not make all the noise dissappear.
Until i do the wheel arches like Polo GTEye N9 has done you still get plenty of road/tire noise which is where it seems the real problem is in the back.
The wheel arches has some sort of covering from the factory - but i cant get the damn carpet out to do mine in dynamat.
Another benefit is that it helps with an issue raised by Babu in one of the air con threads - the floor of the boot gets really hot above the muffler - the dynamat helps a little with this heat transfer into the car - probably not much but every little bit helps
