New Grill fitted

[Ben_GTI]

Need to buy a TDI badge and stick it where the GTI badge is hahaha.

[polo_spec_d]

already on order

[leasaunce]

looking good! lucky your car is black, so no need to paint the middle bar black

[mr_walker]

Maybe the TDI's with GTI mod bits need a new badge..

How about the GTDI

hey polo spec d, nice ride!

timeless choice of colors and it sounds like you're going to mod engine too??

beaut, mate- apparently the alh engine is very moddable, whereas the next gen diesel cd engine wont be as tweakable- we got in at the right time!! (no doubt the purists out there will shut me down with some tech info- i dont mind, i love my little motor)

ive seen youtube clips and posted photos on other forums of vw diesels at over 600,000 (yes- six hundred thousand) miles, so hopefully we're in for a good, lengthy run.

on a different note- golfman, where have you got to?

Seriously nice SpecD, should get a the honeycomb grill too

[RhysQ]

that looks tops. possible foglight setup??

[Sharkie]

In some other markets Polo TDI's come in a sport model. 16" alloy wheels, GTI suspension and trim, 3 doors and .... 96kw and 320NM ....

Also has foglights and ESC amongst other things as standard ....

Hey Buller_Scott

yeah im going to mod the engine with a ST3 chip as soon as i get the funds, then ill be looking at 130BHP and 300Nm But before that im going to get it lowered and a whiteline rear sway bar to get the rear end breaking out first before i start to push the front.

Yeah my car isnt even 12 months old and its already clocked up 27,000 hahah, ohh and i also have a K&N filter on the way

Are you looking into mods?

hey polo spec d,

you bet im looking into mods- i think ive pretty much decided what i want to do with the car. i will also add that golfman on here has a tdi and he's looking into it aswell- i think he said he wants coils and 180fwhp- im not quite so ambitious in my quest as unlike many on these forums, i CAN be satisfied, lol.

im not going to mod for atleast another year- i want to be atleast half way through my warranty before i do anything, and keep in mind this list is always changing in some subtle way, but the list of mods that will satisfy me collectively are:

-chippeduk st3 (once flash counter reset thing is good to go
-seat cai
-bmc replacement panel filter
-MAYBE a dp (although not sure how i feel about the strain on the clutch)
-good tyres- michelin or pirelli or something
-16 inch golf pursuit(standard) wheels- really wanna get some tenzo's, but its pointless as i need to be able to put wheel chains on the car in the winter, whilst not forfeiting the ability to have good rubber on the car for dry days, and not having to worry about scratches- first use of chains last year ripped the sh7t out of my hub caps, lol.
-lowering springs for no more than 35mm, and rear sway bar.

with all that in place, i think i'd be very happy. then its lots of driving whilst not taking anything for granted whatsoever, and some advanced driving courses and defensive driving courses

what about yourself what are you planning?
