What did you do to your Polo today?

Did the Audi TT front brake conversion (after painting them red to match the rears). Better feel when braking than the standard GTI items, and pedal has better feel now - brakes start working sooner on the pedal. Overall pretty happy. They REALLY fill up the standard GTI wheels though, looks impressive, lol.

Washed & waxed. Couldn't spot any paint swirls - investing in proper cleaning cloths/liquids has paid off even 2 years later.

Did you use UV lights or any lights to look for swirls, I didnt think i had many untill i set up a couple of spotlights directly at the bonnet

They way I see it, you don't need UV lights to spot them in normal daylight, so it doesn't bother me if they come up under that sort of "microscope". I had a good look from various angles in daylight, & was happy with the results.

Very nice, what did postage cost you for this?

**Spec83** · 05-03-2011, 10:05 AM

Postage was about ~$210AUD, Damian from DPM was a pleasure to deal with. Order took about 4 weeks as KW Germany didn't have any stock of the GTI-specific 9N Polo kits when I ordered, so had to wait for them to make them. Tracking by FedEx every step of the way and the contents are very well protected (i.e. no bent struts)

Should have sprung for the Inox-Line coilovers with stainless steel bodies, but I figured we don't have a problem with salted roads out here plus I am not going to be winding them up and down every other day so if the threads get a bit stiff it doesn't matter
