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

[Lemonskin]

Was in fairy land while parking today and lightly bumped into a brick wall in front of me. Has messed the paint up on my front bumper. Chips, scratches, and the paint near the top has creased. Any ideas what I can do? Can it be sanded out and repainted?

Has it gouged the plastic at all? That's what those small touch-up guys don't like. Scratches and chips are readily repaired, but anything that needs a bit of filling and shaping is more work (although not that difficult).

installed the v.6 maps in my new rns-510, now i can actually use the maps/nav instead of it telling me I'm in Lisbon... haven't had a chance to fully test it out but all seems to work fine.

Ummm not very deeply... But there is one or two little gouges. Know of anywhere that can fix it... And won't cost a bomb?

You should be able to get a mobile-repairer to fix that. I've heard 'Touch Up Guys' do good work. Most of those mobile-repairers aren't expensive, either.

I did the exact same thing to my bumper a while ago! I still haven't gotten it fixed as you can't really see it because my car is white. Happened to me during a 3-point turn when the DSG rolled in-between D and R and scraped a gutter.

This goes out to MrDeathlad!

Did you recently fit the correction kit for your rear wheels? You posted something in the "Visual appreciation thread" but you didn't really elaborate.

Anyway I would be interested to know.

Also booked my car in for the 60k service and the 35c1 recall. Just after I booked it I received my letter in the post from Volkswagen telling me the parts are in...

Mine been a June 2011 model (last production batch of the effected models) means if other people haven't had the recall they should really follow it up - by just calling the dealer and booking it in

[MrDeathLad]

nah, haven't done that yet, still looking into it. i know a guy who has a set not on his car and hoping to take a look at them soon at some point.

Please keep us posted if anything comes out of this

[MrDeathLad]

may take a while to get round to it, but if your willing to wait, i'll be happy to share what i discover.

2012 Volkswagen Polo 6R GTI MY13 Direct-Shift Gearbox

So this is my written off Polo, I can tell since I did the auto lights mod and BT touch unit is missing. Buyer beware.
