I would be either, removing the badge and reapplying centrally with different spacing so it doesn’t look weirdly offset or, just moving it to the bottom left.
I saw a kings red on 17’s at a derby dealership today. Couple of things, glad i didnt go kings red (it was an overcast day but it still looked dull). The tyres, as mentioned, were michelin primacys.
And someone said something about infotainment screen issues with the youtube guy from SA… yeah that looks annoying - reckon he is probably just unlucky though.
Kings Red is one of those colours that seems to be very light sensitive (most colours are to a certain extent) and appears to change colour depending on how dull or bright the lighting conditions are. I’ve seen Kings Red mk8 Golf GTI’s look really good in bright, sunny conditions but in dull, overcast conditions it can look almost like a dull copper brown colour. IMHO Flash Red that was the ‘free’ colour on the pre-facelift Polo GTI works better on the GTI, as did Tornado Red on the mk7 / mk7.5 Golf GTI, but that’s just my opinion.
It’s a little concerning that there are issues with the infotainment screen and accessing functions that can only be accessed via the screen. Hopefully it’s just an isolated incident, but if the mk8 Golf’s software / hardware is anything to go by, maybe not (I wonder if the facelift Polo shares the mk8 Golf’s software and hardware?). For those that are unaware, the mk8 Golf was afflicted with software gremlins from day one and - to a lesser extent - hardware issues - e.g. erroneous warning messages, screens freezing and / or going blank, audio volume unresponsive to changes. VW is rolling out a ‘big fix’ for the Golf - it’s only taken them just over two years
and it doesn’t fix all the issues. There’s been a further software update since the ‘big fix’ to fix some of the issues the ‘big fix’ didn’t fix.
It would be useful if forum members could post their facelift Polo ownership experiences when the get their cars - especially any software and hardware related issues.
