Re: My Polo :) TYRE QUESTION!
A load index of 83 is recommended for the tyres by VW, so you'll be fine. I've got Michelin PS3's on mine as well - rate them highly. Well worth the extra cost over some other brands IMO.
Re: My Polo :) TYRE QUESTION!
my mind is now at peace
getting them fitted this week hopfully! then while im away on me jollys im getting my alloys refurbed so there will be updated pics soon 
Re: My Polo :) TYRE QUESTION!
+1 on the Michelin PS3s. They're around £120 fully fitted at Black Circles. Plus you get Tesco Clubcard points (!).
Re: My Polo :) TYRE QUESTION!
very very happy with the ps3's best tyre ive had for a while! Not too sure on what the nexts mods are, had the alloys refurbed so ill get some fresh pics up soon! Here is one to be on with though 


Re: My Polo :)

Re: My Polo :) Springs are on, car is looking great feels gr
35mm all round on the h&r springs, its looks better in person though, it sits really well on these

Re: My Polo :) Induction in progress
You can just remove all the secondary air system, it makes the engine bay look better and easier to work on 
Re: My Polo :) Induction in progress
do i just blank the holes off?

Re: My Polo :) Induction in progress
Yeah, you can buy a forge blanking plate for the side of the engine and you have to cover up the hole in the side of your air box, but your getting rid of yours so that one doesnt matter.
This should give you a good enough guide, although all you do it take all the stuff of your engine and blank the hold up...

Re: My Polo :) Induction in progress
