Hello!

I took my car to get the red dashboard inserts and trims wrapped, I'm not a massive fan and anyone who sees my car says "nice car, not keen on the red though" - hmm how about you keep your opinions to yourself? Moving on...

They couldn't do the job because they didn't know how to remove the ...

This fault occurs far too easily, I washed my car and drove later that day in light rain - BING - Front Assist fault.

So annoying. I'm thinking of applying Rainex to the badge to assist with clearing water

I'm not a fan

I would like to upgrade my turning lights from candescent to LED, anyone done it?

I have the Nextbase 522GW hardwired to my Polo with the rear camera install.

Sadly last Friday, 3 months into owning my GTI+ the dashcam paid for itself when a lorry on the M25 rolled back into my car.

That said I have been having a lot of trouble with the 522GW, sometimes it freezes and I only ...

p.s. Is there a way of permanently disabling start-stop? I change through eco, normal and sport mode quite often and getting quite irritated with it re-activating though every mode change

Ah okay - sounds like an Android Auto thing, great app but there is so much room for development in it. I'm thinking of providing them with some extensive feedback when I can be arsed.

Glad to hear it's not just me with the reluctant reverse engagement, it has changed my driving style a bit. No ...

Funny you should say that, I spent 4 hours the other day meticulously hard wiring the 522GW + rear view camera into my car. I run both wires through the same ferrite core and noticed yesterday that the DAB wasn't working. I'll keep an eye on it and report back if I come up with any useful info.

Same problem here, my brakes are erratic when it comes to application vs. output - I think I read something here about there being an update available for the ABS which solved someone's brake problems, not sure it was this fault though.

Thank you everyone, especially SRGTD for the effort you made to provide me with details of your carpet mats. Legendary! Sorry for the late reply, I have been very unwell for the last month or so.

I think I'm going to make a purchase from carmats4u! :)

Interesting reading as my brakes make a ...

They look great - do you have a part number for those by any chance?

I am looking at buying some theatrical lighting gels (the things they put in front of the laps to change the colour) and I'm just going to see how cutting a piece to size and laying it in front of the lamp looks first - low-cost low tech solution for now, I don't fancy spending £££'s on upgrading ...

Thanks for the responses everyone!

MH - To be honest the door alignment hasn't caught my eye but I'll check when I get it back from the paint shop (rectifying some pre-delivery defects courtesy of VW). The car needs to be booked in with the service department because there are a couple of poorly ...

Hello! Newbie here.

I recently took delivery of my Polo GTI+ (69 plate here in the UK).

I have a few points which I would appreciate some feedback on:

1) The brochure said the model comes with carpet mats with red stitching, but my car has plain mats installed. (Anyone got a photo of the mats ...
