belated post but i got my red bonnet pinstripes done on monday and it looks awesome, oh and only cost me $30 from a mobile company called AutoArt

.....will post up pics for that soon.

i am currently waiting for my OEM Sharan Antenna to come through in the mail so hopefully it is at home when i get there...

while i have bills to pay off i just pump small amounts into the car on aesthetics....works well for me.!

i think he means he chipped his second polo (for the first time), but in total for him personally it is his second purchase of a chip.

Nah, I spoke with him on the phone last week(I bought his first Polo) and he said the one he was picking up might have been chipped already as it went well.

* Hatch keylock not working
* Cruise control lamp not working
* Cup holder spring broken

I'm glad I bought it still under warranty!

Took it in to the dealer for the day, results were:

* Rattle in rear right hand side
- needs new sway bar link - on order

* Drivers seat belt height adjuster jammed
- adjuster lug out of alignment - fixed

* Steering column adjuster jammed
- jammed column clamp - lubricated and fixed

* Rear fog light not working
- magically works now (WTF?)

* Hatch keylock not working
- sticky mechanism - lubricated and fixed

* Cruise control lamp not working
- signal fault found in dash module - new dash on order

I hope they don't replace the dash just to find out it wasn't a feature in this model anyway. Maybe they'll put a MFD in ... I wish

* Cup holder spring broken
- forgot to tell them about it

While they were at it, they found a problem with a wiring loom that causes the oil lamp to flash sometimes when the engine starts. I thought it was just building up oil pressure at startup. New harness on order.

Engine bay has been steam cleaned, and it all looks shiny and new now!

Got a quote to get the paintwork professionally buffed. The guy I was referred to reckons he can get 95% of the scratches out.

Are you happy with the result?

That has got to be the longest number plate ever. That's crazy.

Just fitted the SEAT intake and drove to work. The little goer definetely has a bit more go higher up in the rev range. Seems to be less drop off at 5k5 than there was before.

Bloody tight fit and I dropped the f'n screw, had a suitable replacement though. On my old car the screw would've just fallen straight through none of this skid pan crap
