Welcome to the forum buddy.

Car looks very nice,will look even better when the mods you've listed come together.Going by your seats and the alloy wheels it has i would say yours is the SE model.

thanks mate. yeah will be wicked once i find the right bits. fitted my 6000k HIDS today in standard headlamps. not sure if i will keep em. if it too bright for other road users they will be off. will have to see how i get on with them. had them on another factory car. once you had them its hard to go back to standard halogen lol. wasnt much room in the engine bay so had the front bumper off. didnt take too long too either

Hi and welcome, from the pics your paintwork looks fine, it seems like you have the same prob I have with mine it looks fine in pictures but when your beside it, its a diffrent matter.

[Polo*]

yeah looks ok when wet too. but in daylight it looks really bad lol.

HIDS are coming straight off tomo. 6500k is really pants. and worse than halogen. gonna get a 4000kish temp to see if that remedies the prob. or maybe its the headlight pattern i dont know but close range its nice but i can hardly see the road ahead in the distance!

[alexperkins]

I find it odd you dont see the HIDS as an improvement. 6000K is a good colour for HIDS and generally gives a pretty pukka headlight beam...

[Polo*]

tbh thats what i was expecting too. maybe i need to adjust to them. but immediate reaction was these are great close range but it seems to cut off too quick. will get the alignment checked etc. as something is not right. i felt myself using high beam more than normal tonight. they was only £29 anyway lol

[cornishdrummer]

You going to get a Shorter Aerial ?

[Polo*]

yeah got a 6r Polo aerial last wknd mate. £13 odd. look good

[alexperkins]

6r not a 9r

[Polo*]

haha yeah my mistake lol. cheers fella

[cornishdrummer]

It looks really big or is it because the picture is so near to it

[Polo*]

um its smaller than the original. i will get a better photo tomo. bout 6-7 inch at a guess

[alexperkins]

Its an SE btw as it has the higher quality seat fabric

[Polo*]

cheers lol. was unsure with no sunroof. think i should call insurance and amend that? also on that note...

Do you declare re-maps and what do you say? as in would they need RR figures etc. not got a clue on this one.

today having a look at the regulators this morning (again) see what needs replacing.

also:
GTI Grill Ordered!
Also got a new Aerial gasket seal as mine has seen better days and split too...

cant wait to get paid now!
