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

[Frostee]

I used the Zaino stuff on my MINI and it was great. The cleaner/conditioner actually smells like leather.

had to use the cayman island account to keep it from my wife

I see you suffer the same pain as I. Will need to use my Cayman Island account for the APR tune....

Took delivery of my H&R monotube coilovers today.

Just tossing up if I fit them now or wait till the APR sway bars are available and do them at the same time...

Do you mind me asking where you bought this from and the shipping charge (I am assuming you bought it overseas)...

Trying to get an ETA today on the first batch of sway bars for you.

Thanks Guy - hoping it's not too far away!

Bought from Damian at DPM Performance in the UK. The unit you need for the GTI is the 29015-4 and while it took a couple of weeks before they made it here, I figure the time it took mostly related to sourcing them from H&R.

I can't wait to get my H&R monotube too!

Hey guys, do you have a direct link to the actual right product for the Polo 6R? (29015-4) on the DPM site, as I can't seem to find it. I assume you guys didn't pay the VAT? and it will fit the Polo GTI 6R?

My car is booked in for next Thursday for it's 2 week birthday present!

Full Gtechniq protection package including..

- Fabric Interior Coating

I'm having the tint done at the same time but I'm still unsure exactly what I want. I only want something subtle. At the moment it's looking like Johnson Marathon MN30 on all windows.

At the moment I've said no but the guy also highly recommended a new ceramic tint that they do on the windscreen that has 100% UV block. Anyone had any experience with this?

What has everyone else done/planning to do regarding tinting?

[Frostee]

I'm a bit uncertain re tinting at all. Will wait and see when I get the car. One reservation I have is the report I got from someone who said they had issues with the auto dim mining mirror with the rear window tinted. He said at night it was almost dangerous for when the mirror dimmed he couldn't see out the rear window. I didn't have tint on my last car and really didn't miss it. Will weigh it up post delivery

[GTI JOE]

By all accounts so far, looks like the Polo GTI does not come with any tints (even this privacy glass thing). If that is the case when I take delivery, then I won't be getting any form of tinting. Frostee's concerns are valid and true, sure a tint will stop UV to a certain degree, but it won't sure as hell stop heat to any degree I do accept that it does look good, but it is easy to scratch at the same time, I know, as I have had tinting on my last 2 cars.

payno, money must be burning a hole in your pocket. I've just bought some CCP stuff which will last me for quite some time and I'm happy with that. I really can't justify the extra cost of someone else doing/adding all that detail, especially to a new car. But to each their own. Post some pics when you get a chance after the detail
