UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Where did you source your headlight protectors? I've seen them crop up on the bay from time to time, but there doesn't seem to be a regular supply of them. Can you buy them direct from VW?

To be honest, I've had them in the cupboard for about five years!

I'm not sure if they are current items at the dealer anymore. Worth a try though

Otherwise, eBay is your best bet.

GTI looks very nice Alex

Is the ED30 off the road for the winter then?

I wouldnt say off the road lol. More so on the drive away from the salt and dirt

I dont blame you, british winter roads are terrible!

I have just bought my dad's 6N2 TDI off him so i'll be using that all winter and putting the Civic to bed

Good plan indeed

Little update

Order a nice new set of Eibach Pro Kit springs today which should give a nice subtle 35mm drop. Contemplated the sportlines, but Im only doing it for cosmetics and would rather not sacrifice comfort. If I was going down that route, I'd go for a H&R cup kit instead and do the lot!

More little updates to come

Sounds good Alex. Look forward to pictures

Yeah look forward to the pictures mate

How did you rate the H&R Cup Kit in terms of handling improvement / comfort?
I ask this because the TDI 6N2 which I now own appears to have a leaking shock at the rear and I wanted to change the springs anyway due to the horrendous ride height so i'm tempted to get a H&R kit at some point.

glad to see this car still going mate seems i could be back here alot more soon

Pics on the weekend

H&R cup kit is a brilliant kit. Very comfy and the drop is perfect. Hard to get hold of now mind you

I would go Eibach Pro kit or Sportline Kit now. Ive just put the pro kit on and its subtle but not too low for daily use. If I was going for a more agressive look, Id've gone for the sportlines

This is another one kingsley. Got rid of my mk2 and got another GTI instead

Glad to hear it!

Pics coming soon

Fitted my Sebring backbox now so all is rosy

Next up is an Auto dimming mirror with rain sensor like I had in the old one

Cheers for the info reference the Cup Kit Alex

Venom Motorsport still supply the kits so that's something for me to think about in the new year

Fitted the VW comfort indicator kit today

Means on just touching the indicator stalk left or right it flashes 3 times...useful for lane changing on motorways etc

The part number for the kit is 000 998 229

Its easy to install following the guide for the Lupo here http://forums.clublupo.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=61704

Wiring is a little different being the following:

Relay > Car Loom

49A White/Green > 1 Black/Yellow
49R Green > 2 Black/Green
49L White > 3 Black/White
31 Brown > 5 Brown
15 Black/White > 6 Black/Grey

Worthwhile addition if you feel comfortable doing it
