Re: Windscreen Replacement

Can you elaborate on what you're not happy about? Is it that you don't like that there is still a mark of the repaired chip, or are you saying that despite an attempt to repair it, it looks more or less the same? Did you sign the repairer's job card to accept what he'd done? The guy said as soon as...

Re: New GTI

Gave it a wash and polish...

Windscreen Replacement

Hi, Recently picked up a small chip the windscreen of my 2015 6C GTI. The chip is about 3/4 of the way up and in front of where the passenger sits. It is only a 2-3 mm wide (if that!). I had it repaired by National Windscreens in the week but it still not quite right - it really bugs me as the car i...

Re: New GTI

Just seen the Ibiza Cupra has been facelifted with the same 1.8 engine in the Polo and with a manual gearbox as well, some pics here... http://www.autoblog.com/2015/09/04/seat-ibiza-cupra-frankfurt-official/ Still think I made the right decision with the Polo, prefer the exterior styling on the Pol...

Re: New GTI

Forgot to mention that the latest VW Driver magazine devotes 8 pages to the GTI in the latest issue and gets a great write-up [emoji106] Do you know where I could get a hold of that magazine? Is it available online anywhere, or could you scan/photo the GTI pages in for us? Link here to website: htt...

Why? They look great - subtle but effective!

Re: New GTI

Manual GTI beats Fiesta ST in drag race http://www.carmag.co.za/video_post/drag-race-vw-polo-gti-vs-ford-fiesta-st/ Hardly surprising seeing as TopGear magazine did run after run at Bruntingthorpe against some things £7,000 more expensive and still beat them in 0-60 times! http://images.tapatalk-cd...

New GTI

Thought it was about time to get a pic of my GTI up seeing as it's been here over a month and almost done 1,250 miles! Struggle to find anything wrong with it!Just the standard GTI with the option of white paint. Pic was taken at VAG Trackday at Castle Combe circuit back in August. http://images.tap...

Re: New GTI

Norfolk boy. It's easy to download pics to this forum if you download Tapatalk to your phone or tablet. Easier than doing it on the desktop website. Just to add ..I got a vw branded sports bag as my trinket back in April when I got mine. Don't get too excited. ;) Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatal...

Re: Are VW doing a Polo R or not?

The idea has been shelved according to magazines interviewing VW bosses. Think VW would be treading on its own tale more so than at the minute if it happened.

Re: New GTI

I picked the GTI up this morning! (Quick arrival considering I only ordered in early May) Done 35 miles so far - really impressed with everything about it!! Out of interest, the oil temperature runs at 105 C (which seems high) when fully up to temp - is this too high or normal on the GTI? BTW, if an...

Re: New GTI

Mine has been built and is in transit!! Ordered halfway through May and scheduled build week was 29th June and it's already on the way. For the first time, VW appeared to have built a car on time! Annoying! Ordered mine over a month before this and still haven't got a confirmed build week! Seems ri...

Yes it is. You can tell by the way that the sunlight reflects off the paint without the metallic sparkle of the Oryx.
Car looks great by the way! - Exactly the same spec to one I'll be getting 8)
