I keep a record of the mileage and how much fuel I use, by necking the fuel and working the MPG to the nearest 0.00 of a gallon. Its a SEL 115 DSG, I'm not a speed merchant, and neither is the Mrs...

Re: Headlight Upgrade - Halogen to Factory LED ?

When I purchased my Polo, I liked the DRL's built into the headlights, and found out that the cost would be near on £1,000.00.
