New Polo - I've got one!

[AC74]

Haha yep my rear mirror has a greenish tint too. If you turn it off (pressing the button) it's normal, but I always leave it on.

Yes there is quite a few huffs and puffs from the intake. It sounds much better on hot days but obviously pulls slower.

You scored Bridgestone RE050s lucky bugger. My MY13 came with the Dunlop sport Maxxs. I'd much rather the RE050s lol.
Maybe they ran out of the dunlops ? :/

At least we got all four the same! Didn't we? *runs outside to check*

Yeah that's just the colour of the mirror when it dims. My Polo doesn't have any form of tint and still everything turns green
As a side note, If you want to make the mirror dim during the day (because why not?), you can reach your hand around the back-left side of it (passenger side) and you should feel a bumpy thing. If you completely cover that with your finger/hand then the mirror will dim (but make sure the ignition is on and the mirror switch is on). That bumpy thing (you can see it through the windscreen if you want a closer look) is a light sensor, and there is another one opposite the green light on the front of the mirror. So, if there is light outside the car, the mirror doesn't dim. If there is no light outside and no light inside it also doesn't dim. When there is no light outside and there is light inside (signalling that a car behind you is shining its lights through your rear window) it will dim.

Have fun with your GTI !!

Thanks Alex, I know exactly what you're talking about. Hadn't thought about the manual daytime over-ride though, nice tip!

Btw, your TDI looks a thousand times better since you popped that dent out. Made me wince very time I saw it before that.

Haha thanks!
Yeah well I cringed every time I saw it too and after a while I got sick of it so I pulled it off and popped it out. It still has a rip in it but from a distance it kind of looks like a spider web so it's not that bad.
I'm also quite amazed at how fast the mirror reacts to changes in light, it's almost instant.

Thanks again
Alex.

Hello all,
Just got delivery of a white polo GTi with xenon and sunroof. Loving it so far. Has had Mitch from Immaculate Reflections apply paint protection to it and it now looks fantastic! Got it for $34305 with a $6000 trade-in of my 6 year old Camry from Camberwell VW

Enjoy your GTI responsibly

Nice one, congrats! Haha Candy White GTIs dominate the planet!!!

I'm sure it'll be a nice change from the Camry...

Nice work, you know there are genuine GTI child seats available from Vw which would look quite nice with their matching tartan

Do you kmow much about these Gavs? I couldn't find one on the VW Australia site & the dealer didn't know about them when I picked my Polo up.

I've seen them on the UK site but not sure if they would pass our regulations?

Cheers, Al.

Thanks for that mate, I found them but as you said, 'Limited run'. Bummer!

I'd really like to get one, even a S/H one in good condition.

Cheers, Al.
