RCD 310/RCD 510 Remote for Amplifier

Hello, hoping someone here can help me out with this problem, so I've ordered an amplifier and subwoofer for my Polo. I have also ordered an RCD 510, however I'm still using the RCD 310 for now. Anyway I've spliced the rear speaker cables at the back of the head unit and connected an RCA adaptor for...

Re: Polo 6R Front Bumper (Preferably Black)

Hi Ben :) Sorry to hear that you're first car was involved in unfortunate accident with Fox :| I was going to reply to you before, but I was reading on you're post that you managed to temporarily fix the bumper so I wasn't sure if you need a replacement? Anyway I have Front Deep Pearl Black (LC9Z o...

Polo 6R Front Bumper (Preferably Black)

I recently hit a fox in my 6R 1.6 TDI and its cracked the bottom of the front bumper, I already have all the new grille's etc so just after a front bumper in black (so I don't have to respray).

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

I hate petrols, they feel like they're not planted or something, I don't know, maybe I haven't tried a proper petrol yet lol Ah right hmm maybe thats...

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

I should have the car back within the next day or so, as its been in all week. They have managed to temporarily fix the bumper so that it at least looks okay-ish, I was driving the 1.4 again for a few days and I must say I really prefer the diesel engine in the polo. The 1.4 feels really light and a...

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

Sorry to hear that mate, on the most desirable Polo too! :( With regards to the 1.4, I was under the impression rear disks are dependant on whether it has ESP? All 6Rs in the UK have ESP, red discs was made standard on all Polos bar 1.2 N/A and TDI models from 2012 onwards, I suppose it was just lu...

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

Hmm that doesn't look good, the Rad appears to be slightly damaged too which is probably what caused the coolant warning to come on. With regards to the 1.4, I was under the impression rear disks are dependant on whether it has ESP? Yeah wasn't good, I was doing 70 at the time (was a national speed...

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

Jesus, never seen a fox do that much damage! I have a lower grill lying about that's in really good condition, but it's not an SEL grill with the chrome trim. You are more than welcome to have that for a minimal cost if you are looking to get your car repaired without spending as much :) AJ Yeah it...

Re: Polo 1.4 SE (First Car)

Shortly after I had been driving the 1.4 for a while, I was doing over 500 miles a week and so I decided to switch (temporarily) cars with my Mum so I was driving the 1.6 TDI SEL as she was doing under 200 a week. So I've been driving the 1.6 for a month or two now. Anyway I was driving home the oth...
