I've never had a BMC so can't compare but since Craig (trottagti) pursueded me to go for the K&N Typhoon I've never looked back! Definitely looks alot better in the bay ;-)
More expensive but I think it's worth it :-)

Best place to get a BMC CDA is from Kam Racing mate :) They are expensive new but worth their weight in gold for the noise they make

Typhoon would be another option but they are another £100+ more than the BMC

Glad to see the cars still alive dude.

Wheels look great,i had my 15's painted lastyear and they've been great throughout the winter and a simple wash keeps them looking tidy alot better to maintain.I went for a slight contrast in silvers on the centres and outers.

Looking foward to the updates.

Will get a wash and full works tomorro and take some pics. Red bbs centre caps are starting to grow on me, I also have black bbs, Vw and Wolfsburg centre caps so still havn't decided what to use. Sounds lovely now too, with k&n panel filter and new exhaust. Loud enough for now. :mrgreen:

Thanks for all positive comments, I've piled loads of money into the car (mainly fixing broken bits), everyone else thinks i'm mad. :-P !! They just don't understand its a polo gti thing.

After yesterday's quick wash inbetween football matches:oops:

Image

Also a crappy pic of my polo with my mates gti which I made them buy:D but it has had everything go wrong with it including the gearbox immediately after purchase oops:eek: but all sorted now.

I will get some good pictures with it another day

This is a niggle which is driving me mad, the indicator clicking noise is going off randomly when I go near steering wheel or stalks. Indicators work fine though! Anyone else had this random problem? I will be inspecting it further tomorrow........
