My Polo R-Line 1.2 TSI 105bhp
My Polo R-Line 1.2 TSI 105bhp
I am the proud owner of a candy white Polo R-Line!
I absolutely love this car compared to my 60bhp Moda, so much more fun to drive and the interior is 100x better!
My plans are:
RCD/RNS510DAB [emoji818] done
GTI style LED headlights - XenonzUK
LED Side Lights [emoji818] done
Lower 25/30mm (Eibach) [emoji818] done
eventually followed by uprated Billstein shock absorbers
Remap by Revo or SLT or tuning box (TMC/DTUK)
Gloss black lower bumper grilles [emoji818] done
Gloss black rear diffuser
Gloss black lower lip
LED interior upgrade
exhaust upgrade to dual exit
some VCDS coding
Change colour of brake callipers
Bigger brakes when these are too worn
Possible plans:
Wrap roof gloss black (any pics?)
Change colour of Mallory alloys to Anthracite
Some new wheels: thinking of Boavistas or RX2 BBS
Debadge POLO from tailgate [emoji818] done
Dewiper [emoji818] done
Pictures taken on my phone to follow!

Very nice! Like the plans
I have similar plans for my car, so it'll be decent to see how you get on.

Re: My Polo R-Line 1.2 TSI 105bhp
Just a few comments (not that you asked for them ) on your intended upgrades:
GTI style LED headlights - get the non-GTI LEDs to avoid the OTT red stripe
Lower 25/40mm - and make everyone think you're carrying 400kg of cement in the back
Remap by Revo or SLT - Revo did my Mk6 Golf GTI a few years ago and I was NOT impressed. Running a DTUK removable box in my BlueGT, much nicer
LED interior upgrade - done this one myself, looks good
Change colour of brake callipers - can't decide whether to do this, post pix if you go ahead
Wrap roof gloss black (any pics?) - thinking of doing this on the rear of my roof to match sunroof
Change colour of Mallory alloys to Anthracite - so they look as if they're caked in brake dust all the time
Debadge POLO from tailgate and replace with R badge (or no badge) - I removed the Blue GT badge front & rear, but kept the Polo so it didn't look debadged (if that makes sense)

Lights: Going for the ones on XenonzUK - plug and play and no red strip...TheFrog wrote:Just a few comments (not that you asked for them ) on your intended upgrades:

Lowering: Well, if it looks like 400kg of cement so be it; just want to get rid of the arch gap.
Remap: Was looking at them but Revo offer better figures
LED: Which package you use or what sizes etc?
Alloys: They get covered anyway...

Saw that you are looking to dabadge the POLO and replace with the R badge.

Got my private pressed plates on and is in for lowering on Friday with the Eibach 25mm/30mm springs.
Will see how low this gets me and if I need it any lower than it is I will eventually save up for some decent coilovers, no cheap ebay rubbish.
Hopefully something quite different in terms of my exhaust, too!

Finally lowered the car on friday! Not got any good pictures although I have plenty of opportunities only the 25/30mm but it seems to be plenty and looks much lower than expected!
