What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

Added a pink vw water cooled sticker.

Can anyone comment on whether gti coilovers (ap brand ) would fit into a 77tsi. I have noticed a different axle weight/ part number but would they actually fit... If so what are aps like compared to stock sport suspension

plug and play via OBD port, the cables could be tucked into the gap between the dash and car walls making it almost completely hidden except for the HUD unit on the dash, cables all hidden and no cutting of dash.

I'd love some pictures as well, and what it displays and where you bought it from.

Got it from 360 Infinite USA : HUD, Rpm, Volt, Water Temp OBD Plug [HUD-RPM-CMC/CIF] - $129.99

Displays Revs and Speed.

Its a strong LED so you dont need the reflective film, it works fine on the factory glass at night and day. a little blurry without the film since it reflects off the inner and outer layer of glass, but still clear enough.

plug and play, no need to hack your dashboard or stick cable holders all over the dashboard. The cable is flat and easily slips in between the gap between the dashboard and car wall. No cable visible. very easy to tuck all the cables away into gaps in the car without taking apart anything.

Hey just quickly, does it show the water temp with the TSI? If it does that would be awesome seeming all of us with boring midline MFD's and no physical gauge for the temp have no idea what's going on in the temperature department

Yes, I have that exact combination. The AP coils fit no problem. I also ordered the sport suspension but they were no where near low enough.

Have the rear sitting at it lowest without removing the adjustable ring, and have 3 cm left at the front tread. Ride is definately more stiff! and grip is about the same, in my opinion the stock sport springs are pretty damn good already.

After four days of ownership, the BT Touch Adapter displaying useless information in Portuguese was starting to irritate me (distracting in peripheral vision) so I messed around for a bit and managed to change it to English but also discovered the brightness and sleep functions so it is now at its dimmest setting and goes blank completely after 15 seconds. Ahhh, much better

Hopefully the VW Handy Adapter for iPhone will arrive this week so I can get rid of the Touch Adapter altogether.

Also turned the brightness down on the RCD510 and find it much better also. I don't suppose there's a sleep/screensaver mode for that as well? Haven't studied the manual for the RCD510 yet.
