New member, my GTI bad times update

Post by poloXOM »

Hey Guys,

Totally new to this website, this is my second polo. Thought i would post some pictures up and see what you loons think as nobody seemed intrested on club polo

Reflex Silver 6N2 GTI
Ronal Turbos
Roof sprayed Audi Graphite Gray
Coilovers

Bought it like this about a month ago and since then I have repaired lambda and replace the thermostat.


A couple of issues, the xenons dont auto adjust (if anyone could shed some light on what that might be that would be grand) and it desperatly needs new front discs its doing my head in. hopefully get them this week but cant afford the pads i want until next month.

Cheers for looking
Tom

Looking good mate, I like what has been done so far.

Did he throw in the original alloys when you bought the car?

No need to start thinking about winter yet! summer is almost here!
Tidy polo you have there anyhow, and uk-polos is far more informative and easy to use than edition or club polo

Welcome to the forum dude.

Nice looking GTI you have there,looks like somebody has spent some pennies on her.They are great little cars and good fun,hope you get the disc's sorted soon too.

I'd reccomend this forum over Clubpolo definately,there seems to be alot of idiots on there that always seem to give useless vague answers to everything haha.This site is very straight and friendly,too many people willing to help :wink: .

not any major plans, replace the speakers as one or two seem to be blown, maybe a bmc cda, sort the little niggles and generally keep her looking top notch. Dont have much cash or easy access to a garage being a student.
