What did you do to your Polo today?

[Sharkie]

Blitzen, thats a real painful job fitting the TIP ..... loved your reasoning with it

Do you think the Forge intercooler pipe is any good? Pics of the 2 like you did with the TIP would be good. I've been giving it some thought lately.

I do like the Forge Intercooler pipe. It is alot more harder than the stock one, and I think it would resist ballooning better than the stock one too.
Replacing that is just a 5 minute job...All you need is a flat head screw driver and a pair of multi grips for the hose clamps.

Today I changed my low beam headlight bulbs with 4700K PIAA globes. They look great.

I also attempted to change the parkers as I've bought some matching PIAA wedge globes, however I spent a good 20 minutes trying to get them out but couldn't do it! As a result I have cuts and bruises all over my hands, FFS!

It has to be twisted right? I can't get enough room for my hands to twist the casing that holds the parkers in. So frustrating!

I'll try again but looks like I might have to take off the headlights and/or front bar. Is this easy to do?

parkers took me ages to do

you really need to get your fingers in there haha
i ended up pulling the globe out with the wires
be careful but, dont pull the wires out!
takes time and patience!

Does the holder have to be twisted or does it just pull out?

I painted the a/c condenser and radiator so its all black behind the grilles.

Nothing too exciting here...

Where are you getting the colour coding done?

I really want to get my rear and side skirts colour coded - haven't looked into it yet though.

Im getting the Touch Up Guys to do it, they come and do it at your house ect and the pricing seems really good.

Im getting the side mouldings on front side and read matched to the rest of the car, around $220 and that includes getting around 6-8 stone chips fixed. I also asked how much to get rear bumper done, pretty much same size as the GTI ones and he quoted me $60 more.

I wasnt sure how good the quality would be so looked around on net and most people seem to say they are pretty good.


Just got done today and went from this. Yawn



to this could do with a lowering but don feel like spending the cash

DODO JUICED the GTI today. silver looks great. it was getting pretty filthy. now i've used that wax i don't think i'll use anything else. Although could use a polish with Meguires first to make it easier to apply. pics soon
