[Transporter]

It's time for clean up, we have too many stickies on the front page of this subforum. Any suggestion for some stickies to be moved as a shortcut into this thread? If not, I will just unstick some and move some in this thread next week.

This one is really out of date, I'd recommend un-stickying this thread and the following:
Polo THS intercooler install part number thread
Polo Dyno Day Brisbane, Saturday August 25th
Interchangeable Parts Register... Or "what we can pinch from other makes!"
***The official my polo arrives thread***

They seem to be the least popular of the stickies, thanks for cleaning.
