UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Generally the panel gaps on the Polo are very narrow and precise, if you look at the side profile and the complex door creases and how it fits it is very impressive. If it is only the bonnet and headlamp area then it suggests it can be adjusted to correct standards.

Maybe I’m being fussy, I know it’s not a hand built car or anything and I can live with it, I had a Alfa GT before so used to not great build quality, gaps on the left are a lot more evident maybe 2-3mm in differences to the right where the bonnet seems a tighter fit, is this the norm? If so then f...

I got some from Halfords for £15. They don't have VW or Polo on them, but they keep the carpets clean. Those mats on Driveden look good quality - my VW carpet types are already worn out I will be getting some rubber replacements. A boot liner sounds attractive but expensive. Any sheet or piece of m...

Some good ideas there. Those mats look a good buy and better value than dealer prices.
I would add mud flaps as well considering the bad weather ahead.

Also don't forget the wiper blades - the standard fit ones can be poor and a lot of people upgrade to Bosch

I don't own one but can understand your thoughts, it seems the Polo is too sanitised and not a raw enough performance experience than the Fiesta? Could this be due to the automatic gearbox.

Immediate difference is a big reduction in road noise and a softer ride.

That justifies the swap in itself. Enjoy the improvement

Those look cool good job!

How do they fasten on with screws or self adhesive?

I've given my salesman the benefit of the doubt and contacted him yesterday at 6:30pm in regards to telling me where my car is located and the potential next ship it is on. Granted, he had stayed over his usual working hours so he said he'd contact me at 9:30am today - no phone call as expected. Co...

I reckon you must all be looking at 70 plates based on this progress, we are only just over 2 weeks or so until 1st September, the dealers will be getting a stock of cars and PDI work to be ready for Monday 31st August and the traditional midnight opening to collect them? (Maybe not any more with Co...

Just received notification 6 how long does it take to get to the dealers from the uk port and then how long till I can collect thanks. I’ve not had my stage 6 notification yet however my dealer says my car is at Sheerness UK port. (Was meant to collect yesterday but it wasn’t my car that had been d...

I can only speak about the GTI from experience but I’d say money wise the bigger wheels are probably the only thing ‘worth’ the money considering they are only £350 optional extra. If I was ordering from factory then that would be the only extra I’d have. I got mine with a rear camera also but that...

I've had the same problem, also a 2018 early model. Could be some problem developing with the sensors due to age or the car battery beginning to lose capacity?

I suspect the 225's will be fine, we are talking a small possibility of coming into contact with a plastic liner which isn't a major issue, you would hear something audible if it did happen. Is there any reason people prefer to use Costco for the fitting if they take the line on refusing to upsize t...

Based on this unless the housing is 100% air tight and dried out any remaining moisture will cause issues. Maybe try letting it dry out fully, leaving it open plus hairdryer then refit and seal it up. You could go as far as silicone sealant if you're confident it won't need dismantling for a long wh...
