2011 Polo GTi plans...

[emma_88]

Going off bradley1983's post in his 'Work to do over Christmas' topic.. I thought I'd start a topic to discuss everyone's plans for the new year..

My plans are...

Get the bodywork tidyed up
Get it through another MOT
Get the Alulines back on in the Summer
And just generally enjoy it until I come to sell later on next year.

Nice Topic Emma

I have some big plans for next year provided I dont change my mind on the car

My Plans
- K&N Typhoon Induction Kit (already purchased)
- HID H1 6000K full beam kit (already purchased)
- New Exhaust System - Powerflow Custom Job
- 4-1 Stainless Manifold & De-Cat pipe
- 256 duration Schrick Camshafts - JBS
- Custom Code Phase 2 Re-map - JBS
- Ronal LS Alloys 15x7.5J
- Spacers 10mm Front & 15mm Rear
- Full Car Respray with Vinyl Wrapped roof (Black with White German Eagle)
- 2 x Leather Recaro lightweight front seats
- More lowering (20mm rear & 25mm front)
- Braided hose for the engine, respray the rocker cover & possible Oil cooler fitment

Lots of big plans which will make the car perfect in my eyes

good thread


- Respray Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, and Bonnet
- Buy New sidelights and foggies (to make the front end look brand new)
- Finally do my boot build!!
- Buy little bits that need replacing. eg. Rear N/S Tweeter is creased, Drivers side door switch is badly warn.
- Cambelt!
- Full detail
- New exhaust as my current one has been smooshed.

Theres plenty of more things Id love to to, but funds will be tight

possible Oil cooler fitment

Ive looked into this a few times now. still cant decide if its viable, and will make a difference lol

As for the remap and cams, keep me in the loop on that - i may join you (jbs may even give us a good price!)

You probably dont know me as I don't tend to post much but my plans are 16" 4x100 BBS RX2's and lowering the car as I haven't done much to it since I got it in August its currently standard suspension with 17inch lenso stage one wheels I am also on a mission to save up for a mk4 r32

That was my plan but I work too far (250 miles daily) for a R32.

17" wheels OMG! Lol. I need to get my roof done black. My bosses daughter is a viynl wrapper. Ben, what's going on with the BMC, mid jan?

2011 Plans, In no particular order...

- Replace Gear knob
- Replace Handbrake Lever with 9n3 GTI one
- Fit Audi TT Pedals
- Paint Brake Calipers
- Upgrade Brakes
- New tyres all round
- Wheels Aligned/Balanced
- Body work sorted (rust patches sorted and dents removed from roof along with front bumper respray)
- Machine Polish paintwork
- Detail everything else
- Fit some kind of bluetooth unit to the standard headunit for iPhone (Dension Gateway Blue?)
- Lowering
- BMC CDA

I know this is the wrong section as I don't own a gti but my plans for 2011 are:

Get A few bits resprayed including front bumper, roof rails etc
Get the parking dent in the rear quarter removed thus meaning the car will be scratch and dent free
Put the schmidts back on, although may get them mirror polished still umming and ahhring over that
Get the stance perfect
Detail the car to a high standard correcting paintwork glass and headlights etc
A few more smaller touches
And finally attend a few more shows as I only managed to get to players last year

So not a long list for 2011 but I did alot last year so 2011 will be about refining it all to a high standard

Plans for 2011 are pretty low key but something like this would be good:

Tidy up bodywork (stone chips on leading edge of roof etc)
Get headlights detailed - to remove the UV fade
6000K headlight bulbs would be nice
Fit a set of BBS RX2s

I really just want to focus on the little things and bring the car back to its former glory ha ha... not that its in a bad way! But it could be better...

In the meantime I just need to get through Winter with as little fuss and expense as possible

Plan to get a few things fixed on the car that were noted in its last service.

Also:

Respray the callipers
Mk 6 Golf Headlight switch
Sort out dirty headlights
Polo 9n3 Rear wiper
More claying/glazing/waxing
Then sell it sometime in the summer

[Bradley]

Not really sure,

-Change Pollen filter.
-Bleed Brakes.
-Possible braided hoses.
-Paint Correction.
-Thorough external clean.
-Thorough internal clean.

Anything else is a secret for now .

Will do mate, I dont think it will offer any major improvement to performance but they look awesome under the bonnet.
Yeah I will keep you posted on the Cams & Re-map, i'll be looking to get that done in around April/May next year.

I'm sure JBS would offer us some kind of discount

[Dom_]

Will give it a right good clean once it's warmer, but come July I will probably get rid

[Endi_GTI]

Looking to:

- Refurb RXII's
- Lower (D2 coilcovers??)
- Some kind of exhaust (Maybe)
- Bit of body repairing
- General waxing, cleaning etc
