Hi Guys

As some of you may know my 9n3 Polo Gti was stolen on the 21st of may this year.

And on Friday I picked up the replacement.......

And I already have one of these.....

Looks mean in black mate. Sorry to hear about your old ride but looks like there was a silver lining. How'd you get your hands on a 6R so quickly?

Thanks bud.

Well I went to order the car and the dealership had a silver one that was on it's way to germany, that had already been built. BUT luckily I have a family member that does the ordering and paying of cars for that dealership, and she managed to swap the silver for a black one (That was also going to be on the same ship) that was destined for another dealership in south africa. She also managed to pre-clear the car at customs and paid for it the day the ship docked. So I only waited 2 months instead of 4 to 6.....

Nice pickup - Congrats! Just make sure this time you bulletproof this baby! Put a fake snake on the dashboard? Haha!!

Edit: Didn't realise how huge those tailpipes were!

It's not what you know; it's who you know...

Sorry to hear about your previous ride, but that's a sweet looking car mate! Black is definitely growing on me for the GTI.

Is the Pipercross filter to drop into the factory air box? I just had a look on their website but couldn't find any products specific for the 6R GTI. I assume it's a universal measurement that fits?

The mounting looks exactly the same as the stock filter. My K&N filter fits in the airbox, just remove the stock and insert in the new

Thanks guys....

Yip The pipercross is a drop in replacement filter.

The filter sort of twists onto the lid of the airbox like the original one....

Find any change in induction noise?
