Hi guys I am a new member here I have a vw polo se 1.4 tdi. I am look to start modifying it but not sure where is a good place to get started with buying correct parts or if any what parts from other models would fit mine if that makes sense. I hope to do everything over a few months due to money. What I have in mind so far
Tint rear windows
De-badge rear
Gloss black alloys
Spoiler
Cold air intake
sport exhaust
Remap (possibly if it worth it)
I want to do some performance mods to it and get it going a bit faster it's currently 75bhp.
With a stock engine and maybe cold air intake what sort of performance gains could I expect if remapped it to stage 1?
Would I need to change any engine parts for stage 2 remap? If so what would I need?
Ps. Sorry for all the question in one go.
Many many thanks in advance

Hey and welcome. The basics such as spark plugs, air filter, exhaust are all great to start off with. Remapping would be beneficial for your tdi. You're best getting a quote from a local remap garage as it'll depend on their map/software. I've heard of engines receiving 10-30% increase in hp.
Stage 2 remap you need to improve A LOT of things in your car and I wouldn't suggest doing this until you're happy/comfortable with the stage 1. You'd need better breaks, clutch, etc. Costly!
Good luck on your modding journey, keep us updated with some pictures.

Hey thanks for replying.
I have had a quote from a tuning garage near me for stage 1 it costing £360 with 37% increase in bhp and torque from 155 lb/ft to 184 lb/ft. I think I will stick with a stage 1 remap, induction kit (if I can find one for my car) and either a custom exhaust (depending on price) or a resonated cat back (again if I can find it).
I will post pictures of my progress in the new year. I plan to do more on the exterior than the performance for now.
Do you have any idea if the GTI rear bumper would fit on my car I have polo 6r really like the bumper on that but not sure if it would be a direct fit or not. Thanks
