Re: looking for modifications to my polo 6n2

What you looking to do? Performance or visual?

A couple of things you might want to consider:
- GTI bootlid spoiler
- GTI Xenon Headlights
- Coilovers/lowering kit

All of the above make a hugh difference to the visual appearance imo, check out my progress thread for photos

The car you linked looks pretty tidy, hard to guess what spacers he is running though as they are non-standard wheels

Re: clutch pedal stiff

Check hydraulic fluid levels? Not quite sure how the system works on the polo but on my Porka a stiff clutch pedal often means a faulty Clutch master cylinder or slave

Re: Polo 6n2 Andreaaaa Slow Build Thread

Good start, sorry to hear about the door mirror, keep an eye out on eBay as they go very cheap. White is nice colour on the 6n2, kept an eye out for one myself but they are pretty rare

Re: Bought a VW UP! What to do with the GTI?

It was a toss up between JOM and FK, JOM pipped it due to a longer warranty period plus a fair few owners seem to prefer them
