UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

The black Borbet Y seem to be a popular choice for the GTI in 18inch but personally I got RC-Design RC32 in 17inch but they also do 18inch both in black. This combination of colour and wheels is the best I've seen on any Polo so far - better than standard options. Think the lack of polished alloy a...

Spotted this - a new spec above Match with extra kit, some nice new features missing on the SE / Match but the name sounds a bit naff.

Those look really neat, finish off the car well. Like the wheels too - nice open design and easy to clean! Have you done any detailing / protection yet on the paintwork?

Even though this forum was not as helpful as expected, I managed to fix it. Retrofit folding mirrors is a success. Due to my Polo being a Beats model, it probably had some issues with the folding mirrors. Managed to change 2 pins, everything works now as expected. Dips when going into reverse and f...

I was on the VW site configurator this morning, some small print saying the GTI is from stock only, also diesels and any remaining SE spec models. Still not sure if this means they are being phased out or just a pause in production runs. I suppose we are now at the mid life cycle of the Polo at appr...

Digital service book all well and good but what do you do for prove if you have the car serviced at a non VW garage. Surpose You just keep the invoice etc as proof. It’s a way of VW locking you into having your car service at a VW garage. Yes, I dare say this is a way of VW attempting to lock you i...

Yes it’s a way of trapping you into VW dealerships. If you went to a Ford garage to part exchange and stated you had full service history there is no proof. Only VW can check on their systems. Down the line in used car dealers expect many VW with no service records 5+ years old or a random invoice k...

Very rare then - a future collectors item! Might one day see a LHD manual GTI in the UK that has been imported.

The important thing when applying any form of protection product to paintwork - whether it’s a sealant, wax or ceramic coating - is the paintwork needs to be fully decontaminated to maximise the durability / longevity of the protection product. Paintwork that’s free of contaminants means maximises ...

Sounds like a decent spec, will be interested to hear view on DSG works with the engine, might go that way next time. Look forward to seeing photos. :) Mud flaps are very expensive for what they are - not priced any official ones up I haven't noticed too much damage from stone chips and tar myself, ...

^Steps 2- 4 should only need doing once if you got all the embedded iron out, unless brake dust is causing further iron (from your discs) to get onto your bodywork. The tinge of these micro dots of orange (rust) on your oaintwork is only really noticeable on a white car. Thanks, I've got white silv...

Bought some new wheels for my car this week, prefer them over VW standard wheels. I also blacked out the badges to remove some of the chrome. Not at all necessary, but I prefer the look even more now. Those really suit the car and colour, far more aggressive stance with hints of R32 Golf with the m...

Wow didn't realise you had those fitted Really suits the car in white, looks more like a Golf than the Polo for some reason maybe it's being on 17 inch wheels.

Thanks for the info! Just the standard wheels whatever they are, I didn’t order it as such, it was one they had sitting. Any other quick mods people would suggest? I’ll do the bulbs, I've bought premium plates with 3D lettering... It depends on your budget - I've seen a forum member who has modifie...

^ If you are going to be a keen car cleaner, generally don't eat in the car and don't have any messy kids eating and drinking in the back then I would forego the interior/exterior protection.and buy some bits to do it all yourself, and to a better standard than the dealership, for £60-80. You can d...
