What did you do to your Polo today?

Let's have a good chat about this some time. =)

Im intrigued!
Sounds good

Didn't do anything other than give it a quick vacuum, but I did get these goodies in the post a few days ago:

• Front anti-roll bar drop links
• Front lower control arm front bushes
• Front lower control arm rear bushes
• Front suspension strut mount bearings

Keen to get them on - just have to work out how hard the front lower control arms are to remove!

Edit: that now adds to my bought-but-not-fitted stash of ECS S1 clutch and Redline MT90.

Nice can I ask how much the strut mount bearings are ?

Finally received my front brakes. Fitting them tomorrow. Should be able to stop without them crunching along anymore

Got my new engine mounts this morning, now I just gotta find time to fit 'em...

Both sides, including the gearbox? Which ones and where did you get them, if you don't mind me asking?

I've got a brand new engine-side mount and an APR pendulum mount, but I think the gearbox-side mount is dying on mine: there's a lot of shunting when I shift gears.

Edit: For clarity, I believe engine-side is the RHS, and gearbox-side is LHS. With the pendulum/torque/dogbone mount sitting down the bottom!

• Front lower control arm front bushes
• Front lower control arm rear bushes

So are these stock replacments (rubber) or polyureathane?

Yes indeedy!

They're stock/OEM replacements from Bilstein IIRC. I saw your other thread - would you like me to get out the calipers and measure length, diameter, etc? Can do it tonight probably.

Vibra-Technics mounts. I've already got a SuperPro lower pendulum mount, which is fine.

I've broken three gearbox mounts now, so it was time for the upgrade. I don't even drive it that hard!

It had to be done, but my pocket will be bleeding for quite some time
