Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Changed my gear oil to Redline MTL today. Feels slightly better than original after a short drive around the block, but I'll reserve my judgment for another couple of hundred K's to let it wick in everywhere.Comment

Any rubbing issues so far? I wanted to go 225 wide but read that 215 is the widest you can go on a Polo before running into issues.Originally posted by Blitzen View PostMy Polo got new shoes today...
I'm stoked with the look... They look a tad high in the pic, but at this stage I love the stance, and the little bit of poke I have...MY2008 VW Polo GTi / GIAC Tune / Forge FMIC / Forge 007 DV / N75 Race / BMC OTA / KW V1 Coilovers / Whiteline Front&Rear Swaybars + Toe-In Shim / Weichers Front&Rear Strut Braces / Full Non-Res Milltek Exhaust / 17" Bora SportComment

Depends on offset and drop.Comment

No rubbing so far... I'm not too low though. I'm happy with the height for the meantime.

Finally got the front vw splitter/lower lip, wheel arch flares and JE design eyelids painted and fitted today. Pics to come (once my brother gives me back my camera). Now looks so much and more aggresive and nearer to it bigger brother brother the golf gti.Comment

Haha, once I get some decent pics you will see why I'm happy with the height. The guards are filled. I would drop it 5mm max if I was to drop it.Originally posted by Whubbsie View Post
As it stands, the Cupra lip is in danger of getting torn off!!
It means now that I have a set of 17x7 wheels that I want to get rid of. I will be fixing them up before sale though. "If can't get behind your troops, feel free to stand in front of them..."Comment

Wheels & front lip look awesome man, good work!
Chuck - try Tim / Dub Addiction for the lip. He can email you an install guide for the Polos too if you're not sure about just pulling the bumper off by yourself.Originally posted by Chuck View Post'03 BMP MkIV Golf GTI | Oettinger tune | K04 | 18" OZ

lol no sorry mate- i didnt mean that the wheel gap was huge- i meant the wheels!Originally posted by Blitzen View Post
they look good for sure, its just that im ultra conservative (15/16 inch for me).
first pog in aus with porsche twists, you reckon?
Comment

I think so. They aren't genuine Porsche items, but I didn't want to run adaptors.Originally posted by Buller_Scott View Post
As it stands, I think they are the perfect proportions for any wheel on the Polo. Definitely if you are going to go 8 inches wide, get a +35 offset. These fill the guards out completely. "If can't get behind your troops, feel free to stand in front of them..."Comment

Any idea what they weigh?
What tyres did you go for in the end?Comment
-
Unsure of the weight, but they aren't too bad. The tyres are 225/35 18 Falken FK475s (if I remember correctly). They are very grippy, and way better than the previous Maxxis MZ-A1's I had. Then again, almost anything would be!! "If can't get behind your troops, feel free to stand in front of them..."Comment

How does VAS5054 differ from the free software out there? Also, any link to where you purchased this?
