UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I took some photos using a dslr way back in October, just got around to editing them now. So these are without the recent mods.

I think they came out alright since it was my first time using a dslr

So it looks nice right up until the first drive after I wash it Its crazy how quickly it get dirty in the winter weather though

I bought the GTI suspensions because i tought these would lower the car perfectly. Personally i think your car looks kinda to low, but that's just taste I guess. Does it have a big impact on the comfort of the car?

Yeah, it is all down to taste, I did think about the H&R 25/40 but glad I went for the lower ones, I wanted the car to sit on/ just above the arches as imo thats the whole point of lowering a car. Had the chance to drive a GTI on a private road yesterday and can honestly say mine on the H&R handles better, but theres no denying that extra power of the GTI. However I made a massive trade off on the comfort, I'm constantly scanning the road for potholes because the ride is astonishingly hard.

Seen you've got a GTD in ur sig, is that a remapped 1.6?

Treated my car to a bit of TLC yesterday, 20k between services are way too long imo.

Done the air filter ( old one was filthy), fuel filter and oil.

debatable, not the best if you're after a bigger drop

Yep remapped 1.6 tdi. I went trough a pothole yesterday..It felt like the car broke in half...and that only with gti suspensions...

What power did u get out of a remap? Did u do a dpf delete?
