Measuring block 11 Tim. If it's remapped, it should be around 2200mbar (well, definitely over 2000mbar) at about 2200 RPM.

I really want to put the 9n3 front on my 9n, but it's too much hassle. Your pics aren't helping

K.I.T.T DON'T EVEN ATTEMPT IT! TRYING TO SOURCE ALL THE PART FOR CHEAP IS HARD ENOUGH! I just though screw it and went out and bought the damn 9n3 lol! plus upgraded to a 1.9tdi

I will swap my badge with you mate! HAHAHA

Also Cup edition bumper all the way! Ordered a used one from Germany a few weeks back and it is getting sprayed next week! TOO EXCITED TO GET IT ON THE CAR! Cheers mate

Yeah, the problem is finding a 9n3 in my colour. They don't exist. The 9n3 front-end parts aren't too expensive, the paint on the other hand...

Anyway, sorry for the hijack Tim!

Ash

Car's looking pretty good!

Really like the splitter on the front, I've had one in my garage waiting to be fitted for months now and those photos have definitely spurred me to get it on the car. GTi headlights are a must though!

Thanks mate! I've gone off the Cup look, it's a bit fussy if you ask me. I like the bluemotion skirts on the other hand

Thanks mate. Not entirely sure what to do with that information, but I'll speak to my mate who can run vagcom and see if he knows what to do!

Yeh would love some GTi headlights, if they're anything like the 6N2 ones I bet they carry quite a hefty price tag?!

The new car is looking great tim love the colour!

Be nice to see how it develops over the next couple of years

I dont think any 9N3's have Xenons which is why people fit HID kits.

No they don't unfortunately!

I have some HID H1s lined up, just waiting to sort out a H7 kit before they all go one with LED sides and fogs. Can beat a crisp white light up front

GTI headlamps can be had about £70 a side on the bay. Not particularly exciting though, just black non-reflective bits. They're not projector lenses like the 6n2.

Not sure why VW decided to take a step backwards with the attention to detail on some of the later Polo’s & Golf’s.
Xenon headlights were standard on the MK5 GTI and Lupo so it’s pretty bizarre that it wasn’t even an optional extra on the MK7. Crazy Stuff

Your HID kit will do the job nicely though

Yeh I've seen them before, subtle smoked look, they're nice

Shame they didn't opt for Xenons. I've seen the aftermarket versions but they don't look so great IMO.

Quick update:

Is that a box full of HIDs? yes it is!

A set of H7 and H1 . they'll go on in about two weeks when I have some time and my sidelights.

Car looks good man, I can't wait to see it machine polished.

Be a shame to see the GTi go, but you'll soon forget when you've had it all sorted...

Whens the big detail happening on the new one? Enjoyed reading the old one on the gti.

Just got a load of new stuff from elite today for mine. Blame you entirely for my new hobbie...!

blame me.. or thank me??

Won't be for a few weeks yet as I haven't the time! I'll probably do it in 4 stages though, like front end, rear and roof, then each side. Probably better that way as you pay more attention on each panel!

Ha, ok well i thank you, my bank account does not. Got loads of new stuff to try out, can't wait to give mine a go.

Machine polisher this year at some point. May have to ask you for a few tips at a later date if thats cool.

Also that music video you did was rad, love the way its shot.

Will you be doing any bodywork to this Polo Tim?
Set of cup bumpers would look awesome they are a crazy price though
