How much did they set you back?

I've not lowered mine yet but it really needs it.

Actually think that's an awesome idea, never been massively keen with the silver GTI logo. I'm really tempted.

I know it's wrong but I still wonder what life would have been like if I'd gone for an ST. Would I have got fed up with the hard ride and figure hugging recarios or the Saturday night outside of MacDonalds looks innit? The ST is a brilliant car, but it's just a bit mental. The only thing that ruins...

I got the parking pack mainly for cruise control (never had any issue with parking before and the Polo is pretty small) but they're actually really useful to be fair and as they look to be becoming standard on a lot of new cars they're probably worth going for if only for the residual value.

Does look a bit low rent compared to VW, did find it pretty well screwed together in the zetec s I had for 3 years. Also lots moaned about the cluttered Sony stereo, I always found it easy to use myself and it did sound gr8, but rattled the speaker grids in the rear of the car lol Yeah agreed. I've...

Saw another GTI for the first time since picking mine up almost 2 months ago on the way to work this morning! Metallic black, in Warrington. Hi if you're on here.

How did you get on with it, was it putting the power down well? Would you say it was bringing the 0-60 down by much?

I won't be able to buy it sorry, much as I'd love to and am looking for one, I just don't have the money with Christmas coming up sorry.

@polocks

How are you getting on with the remap plug in thingy? You've had it a while now, just wondering what your thoughts are, whether it's worthwhile/essential, what kind of extra speed you're getting, how it puts the power down?

My GTI has CarPlay installed. I was originally a little miffed because I was led to believe that it would work wirelessly (as the latest iOS brought the wireless capability) but it only works while plugged in, that said; I have never had any issues with it and it works very well.

This 6 week check up? I've had it on other cars but was not mentioned on this one, will dealer inform me or should I get into them about it, its a good idea I think Yeah give you dealership a call and ask them. Mine have mentioned it a couple times, even rang me last week to encourage me to make us...

I've done 1200 miles in mine now, still really enjoying it. I've had the squeaking that appears to be quite common and the speaker pops occasionally the first time switching between Media and Radio after switching the engine on but more often than not it doesn't do it. I'll mention both to VW when i...

Heavily curbed both passenger side wheels this morning on the way to work. Had a lorry come flying at me half way over my side of the road evidently on his phone or something and not concentrating on the road, I hit my horn at them to get them to move over but not before I needed to swerve to avoid ...

Can you get LED foglights for this? Noticed this morning how rubbish my normal coloured foglights look underneath the LED headlights.

I'm another who's received the key case today, cheers for the heads up Andy it's superb. Decent protection and really jazzes up the relatively boring looking key. @JohnPolo, do the speaker pops actually do any damage or is it just an irritant? Annoyingly my Polo still has the squeaking at very low ...
