And so the mods begin...

Swaybar ... does the TDI already have one? I'll have to check it out.

None of the polo's have rear swaybars from the factory, but whiteline make an aftermarket kit. I believe the GTI has a larger front sway bar than the other models.

Well it's taken long enough, but I finally got around to putting aside some coin (and getting spouse approval ) to fit rubber to the GTI wheels I bought off Timbo, and got them on the car this week.

Now I have to work on the suspension...

The colour codes are listed in ETKA. I have looked them up for MK3s and Passats in the past.

Car looks mint with the GTI feet on...... will look even better when dumped

Well we flogged out the LHS caster bearing on the Polo, and it was sounding terrible. The replacement required the front suspension to be dropped out so I figured I'd finally put the GTI suspension in as half the labour was done already (and the stock suspension has done more than 120k now).

VERY happy with the results. Ride is a lot firmer, and there is a big reduction in body roll. Suspension was a straight swap out with no issues at all. Minimal change in height, but that wasn't my goal.

Thanks Timbo!

Cheers,

Walker
