A little update on what I have done to my car since I bought it. Switched lincensplate LED lights, plug and play, highly recommended! Replaced the antenna to a shorter version, same as the Peugeot 407 has. Replaced air filter, K&N in the original "box". Deleted the center muffler. And also mounted orginal bluetooth with the RCD-510, plug and play!
All this can be safely recommended, just ask if you have any questions
Had the centre muffler deleted on the 1.2tsi today, haven't had much of an increase in noise, slightly deeper / raspier note when the foot is down. The only surprise i found was the factory exhaust pipe size is 1 3/4 inch... >> Time to save for a custom job i think.

cool! any chance for a vid with sound? Very interested!
Shall grab a video tomorrow morning before i head into work. Sounded pretty damn cool on cold start, but gets quiet once the cycle has finished... Somewhat really keen now to look at the ABT rear setup >> But priority is the suspension, i think my struts are dead or dieing after the H&R springs... ride quality and getting worse and worse

I fitted Koni Yellows to a mates 1.2TSI 6R on the weekend. Currently on full soft all round with stock springs & they are wonderful.
Highly recomended over the OEM rubbish dampers

I used to think I was anal-retentive until I started getting involved in car forums
Video was quite interesting, theres alot more noise than i thought (cant hear anything inside the car), going to try again and get another done from the hatch looking down to the exhaust (roads around where i am arent that great at all so all you can hear is the vibration of the camera) But have startup cycle and warm idle done. Will post links tonight.

I finally got around to fixing the rattling/creaking due to the door felt/rubber. Went to Bunnings last night to pick the 4mm irrigation tubing. Cost me around $5 for 25m.
And it was as simple as feeding the tubing through the gap between the felt and rubber.
It's pretty much fixed the 95% of the creaking. A few here and there, but definitely not as noticable and prominent as before.
Just felt like sharing in case anyone didn't know there was a fix out there for us Polo owners
