What did you do to your Polo today?

[Whubbsie]

i seriously can't get enough of it! will post again once better audio can be had...will try the iphone & digi stills camera...failing that, will try and get mate to help out with some pro gear

Sounds awesome mate.... SSman's done a similar thing with just the rear muffle changed and it sounds amazing, use to love the sound of my car stock now it's very underwhelming

[Catfish]

no idea if it's legal don't think it's all that low compared to some cars.... still reckon it needs to go lower and I'm working getting it there too.

Did you find a replacement momo arrow or repair the damaged one? Also, how much guard clearance at the rear now without the spacers?

Cheers

[Whubbsie]

nah it was repairable in the end, so didn't need to find one... though saw my second set ever on Brent colour concept.

probably 10-16mm clearance from the fenders on 17x8 +35 and the rears tuck by 10-15mm

Bought a set of Philips Crystal bulbs seeing my low beam on the drivers side died over the weekend.

Tomorrow Jmac is giving the brakes a sprucing up with RDA slotted rotors on the front, new brake fluid, and Remsa 650 degree pads front and back

Can you let me know what you think of the headlight globes as I've been thinking of getting these as well.

Will do.

At this point, I've read that Philips makes some quality items and these appeared to be the best life/brightness/quality/cost trade-off I could find of the Philips range (I paid ~$50 delivered from an Aus vendor on ebay).

I'll report back on them once they are fitted, but they are certainly better value for money than the horribly overpriced OEM bulbs (even if they have pretty little VW logos on them)

Philips make good bulbs, the high colour temp ones can get expensive.

Definately worth changing low and hi beams to 4000 colour temp globes, the stock ones are very weak and yellow.

Higher than 4000 or 4300 light temp is illegal unless HID from memory (atleast in NSW).

I cleaned my brother's mate's GTI today, and holy crap he treats it so badly, was so filthy I spent an hour on the interior alone, with just a vacuum and spray cleaner. Looks much better now though.

He got back from holidays the other day, and was so happy with his car he gave me a 1L bottle of OP Bundy rum. I was very pleased, but will have to clean his car a few more times to make up for the present.

Today i installed a black VW badge that i got from Germany and a stubby antenna on my Polo. I think she looks sweet now.

Hey Whubbsie, what have you done to the front/centre grill surround. Did you paint it matte or is it a piece you bought? Was gonna PM you, but figured someone else might want to know too.
