Looks great !
Eibach Pro kit?
Yes, I have the Eibach Pro kit.
Looks great for a 30mm drop. How is the ride quality?
More Pics?
you notice no difference with the 18 inch wheels and the driving quality is good. I dont know if you have the drive select mode on your car but that still works n combination with the lowering springs.

On my rounds today I found myself in a lane next to a Polo Beats in the same colour as my Gti+.
We went separate directions at a roundabout and then I found myself next to yet another bright red Polo.
There are plenty of them on the road now.

Covered 300 miles today over a roughly 5 hour drive.
So comfy.
Even overtook a Jaguar xj220 on the A43.
He was only doing 55.

I have Galaxy S9 and use Android Auto every day. My Polo already destroyed one USB C cable and I had to replace USB connector in my Galaxy S9 (worst part was to take it apart)
. So today I made foam insert whitch rise my phone and it is not resting on usb cable while using AA.
Sorry can't take photo with phone inside.

^ I find those USB ports an awful fit - they're incredibly tight for USB sticks or USB leads to plug into, at times I convince myself that I am trying to plug in upside down because it is so damn tight to push the plug home.
Can't take a photo with your phone on place? I guess not many people have a proper phone anymore and take all their pics on their phone.

I have a longer cable.
I've tucked it as neatly as can be bothered, it's not unsightly. It's a matching red colour as it happens but wasn't a deliberate thing.
It goes from port 1 of the USB and I place my phone in the arm rest.

I’ve been dealing with the local installer of the autowatch Ghost immobiliser with a view to make it compatible with the Gti, after an initial installation failure of the ghost due to incompatible software codes (the ghost activated, but the car still started/drove), it was agreed that when I have some free time he would return with the product manufacturer. So today he returned with the technical guy who had driven 4.5hrs from Glasgow and they both sat with a laptop connected to the car. Then after 5hrs Reading data log they got a ghost to work on the Gti. However at the last minute shortly after the tech guy had left the ghost threw a wobbly, and it was decided to remove it and “further develop the software”
So far it’s cost me nothing but time, but the local installer has lost income on 2 occasions, and until they prove to me that they have a 110% reliable item I won’t be considering it again

Added a red pinstripe (80's) fashion to my GTI.
And a home made Cold Air intake, since no professional ones are available in Australia. Sounds great BTW
And Burger Motosport 155mm and 20mm wheel spacers. Great look

My Polo has just had its first service. At around 4800 miles since I changed to Michelin PS4, we are at 5mm fronts and 7mm rear with even wear across the width (been running 36psi). I don't recall new tread depth, but rear wear expectations are probably 40k miles all in, so 12% wear, I'm guessing 7.5 or 8mm. The PS4S are 7.4mm new.
So I'm expecting fronts to be done in at 12k miles of wear.
Apparently brakes are only 15% worn front and back - 6 years out of a set of pads/disks? Yes please! Makes a change from my Golf R, where every time it went in from a year old, they claimed my rear disks were 90% done in. I'm a light braker as I anticipate the road ahead well.
I have my GTI dials back apparently (haven't checked yet). Check - yes they're there!
I did have an issue this morning (it has happened twice before) that they couldn't find a fault code for:-
If I get to work very early, put the DSG stick in P and turn ignition off, then sit in the car to listen to the radio for 5-10 mins, then open the door to get out, for a short while I get told to put the car into P on the dash and the beeps are on. It goes away after I close the door behind me and lock up.
The garage did find a nail in my rear left tyre, pressed hard for a replacement, I said no and they took the nail out and discovered that it had not pierced the tyre.

Looks like you activated GTI Scheme for the virtual dash. I only got mine back to this yesterday after the garage did a software update and put the non-GTI one on.

My Polo has just had its first service.
How much did it cost? They quoted me £163 for the first service (oil change service). I politely told them to jog on with that price. The car is actually on the 2 year maintenance cycle so not too necessary anyway.
