What did you do to your Polo today?

[vwthunder]

^^Those wheels have scrubbed up nicely^^

.

Thats how they looked when i got them, there is a few marks, peeling of the clear on the lips, getting them re polished

[leitch]

Installed my KWs, got my TT wheels powdercoated. Tyre fitting and balancing and an alignment tomorrow then drive the thing! I'll take some photos too.

drove it for the first time in 2 weeks and getting ready to say sayonara to it next weekend

Took my polo in for some new front brakes today and got the air conditioner fixed (wasnt cold and only worked on setting 4 - turned out the fan resistor was gone or some such)

My new brakes are decidedly black, a change from the bright silver affair that was previously on it. Considering im rocking a black car I quite like it.

I've had to replace the fan speed resistor too after 3 years.. If it happens again it's a 15min job to do just duck your head under the passenger footwell

I had to do mine too a couple years ago, fan speed 2 stopped working. Remove the glove box and it's a quick job.

So, I installed the KWs on Thursday after hours of cussing, skinning knuckles and not having the right tools! TT wheels went on yesterday after powdercoating - had massive scrubbing issues initially due to the lower offset, but raised the ride height probably 15-20mm and it's stopped. I'd like to drop it back down perhaps 5mm but need to find where it's scrubbing in the guard and work out how else to prevent it.. 215 section tyres on the 7.5 wides gives a bit less bag so should hopefully be able to tuck in a little more..

Anyway, here's a photo of how my car looks at the moment..

Wow love it, looks hot.
Love Black on Black

Your problem is having 215's, I would never go that wide on the front, maybe on the back

Fitted my coilovers today with Smead, TheKyle, Stoie, Gareth from CVWC and foff... Was a pretty good day, nice BBQ, and got the car looking great... Got a knock coming from the front left, so may have a loose bolt somewhere, so I'll sort it out tomorrow...

[Spec83]

Nice one... The 18's look more at home now

Looks good Blitzen, how does it ride / handle?

Leitch, if you have a rear sway as well, there is less body roll and less rubbing. The screw in the top of the wheel arch is the first culprit I faced, you can undo that screw and push the lining over the metal tab, eliminates a fair amount of rub.

Looking good boys... Mine is filthy...

Nice, You've got the stance just right

Thanks guys... Noone, the car rides great... Not crashy, and feels great!!

Only just realised the steering wheel had reach adjustment today, haha. Went out for a drive to celebrate a slightly more comfortable seating position!

Its ok... after 2 years of Polo GTI ownership, Ive only just relized what the little tool that takes the plastic caps off the wheel nuts are for
