They tested BP Ultimate against the Shell and normal petrol.

Shell prevailed.

Kinda sucks for me because I've always used BP Ultimate but will change to Shell when my Polo GTI arrives.

Yeah i been using V Power in my bike for a while now.

All good .

Used Vortex/ultimate for a while on bike to clean it out then went to V power as a Sheel is closer to my house and more on way home each day.

Back on topic anyone hear or know if you can just BUY the Bi xenon head lamps for the POLO? cause i really like them but im starting to lean away from the GTI for $$ reasons.
*SIGH*
Think dealer could order them in as a part and then just fit them for me if i ask really nicly. Dodgy i know

Any dealers on here looking ask your service centre and post on here im sure a few moders would like to know the answer. other wise its just me

Look in the MK6 Golf forum on the numerous threads people have started about retro fitting Xenon HID lights.

It's illegal.

Unless of course you went the full route of installing all the accelerometers, motors, and washes which are required by law to augment the Xenon. That would of course require a customised bumper so you could install the washers... which would probably mean fitting the entire GTI front bumper and grill set. I'd say, low guestimate, you're probably looking at a minimum of $4,000 to do it properly. When you start talking that money, it's making much more sense to just get the GTI in the first place...

Damn really?

I just thought you could get the dealer to say order in a set from the VW parts bin in german and say need them for a POLO gti that had a fender bender or whateva and just drop them in.

Ofcourse some elec wizardy woudl need to go on the fuses etc but wouldnt think need to replace anything cause as far as i know the light as sam size and no washers on the polo i thought

Have a look at the Polo GTI. It has washers. ALL Xenon cars require them by law.
The also require "self leveling" which is dynamic during the cars journey. At the most basic, you need a few accelerometers so they car knows when it's pitching back due to acceleration or weight in the back, or pitching forward due to breaking etc. This data is provided to "something" (not sure if it's part of the light or light's motors or a separate computer) which calculates the movements of the lights and angles them up/down constantly based on that information.

oh well just have to buy the GTI then lol

since you semm clued up about regs etc

Can you relocate batteries ? the GTI's is in the boot and would like to relocate somewhere of get a smaller high performance one so can fit in engine (if possible)
this legal to do at all. of course get enginner etc to do it and sign off on it, but is it allowed under the law ?
