Yeah, I deserve it

Good stuff Ant
Can you do us a favor and take note of how the rear wing attaches if you have it off soon..?
I'm hoping I can rig something for track days to angle the stock wing up for even a little bit more downforce.. It scared the poo out of me when the rear end crabbed around hitting the kink a few clicks over 170, way too light

Any plans for a smoothed underbelly or rear diffuser to try and smooth the air out? You can really feel the rear end come loose braking at the end of the straight hey...

Yeah mate, some scary moments for sure lol!!

No worries I'll take some photos of removing the OEM wing off for you. From the ETKA pdf's I got from Gav it seems it's just glued on actually. I took the trim out of the hatch to have a look and there are three screws that seem to hold the light in but that's it. You can use it to model a completely new one if you want?

Yes getting some more aero goodies soon

Here is a great link regarding aero and especially lift. Explains why the Polo get loose in back.

Improving aerodynamics with aftermarket parts

The MK 5 Golf GTI and Polo chassis design are identical so the wind tunnel testing is very relevant to us. As you can see the 3 door Golf has minimal lift in the front with 2kg but the rear has buckets at 37kg. So after you strip the rear of the Polo on top of that, that's when you get those holy faaarrrrrk moments at Lakeside!

Check out the RS Focus, very well set up from factory! Anyway enjoy the read, some brilliant info there

Looking awesome

Thanks mate

Got my third brake light from a wrecked TDI in Israel. Go Ebay!



Might have a go at removing the GTI spoiler today if I have time. Man I hope this goes to plan. Can't find anyone that's done this on the net so flying blind as far as the TDI light fitting into the hatch recess once the spoiler is removed
