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

[nomadx38]

What kind of crap is that! I bring in "genuine" Oakley glasses in all the time and they don't care and its not their bloody business too...well not for just one bumper...a whole container maybe

Apparently the entire container was pulled aside yet the R20 Polo bumpers failed to marry up with the invoice / paperwork they had received...I certainly dislike Customs even more after this mornings news.

No mate...they will no longer be importing this into Australia and my bar has been taken by Customs and will either be sent back or destroyed.

I'm now in talks with a factory in the UK about producing a carbon fiber spoiler / lip...this is pissing me off side ways...

Sorry to hear mate - ive been reading out how excited you were to get this new bumper.

Don't blame customs mate, blame the flogs that didn't do their job properly with the paperwork

Hi Readerr0r,
I am keen to have a rear (bootlid) camera installed as well as the Shark fin connected to the RNS 510.

Do you have any more pictures of the fakra cable routing through the car - Is it better to route it via the RHS Roof lining and then down the A Pillar and through to the dash?

Also, would be really great if you could advise instructions on how to do the RVC and which bracket you used to ensure the RVC is centred and aligned as I understand that without a bracket, the std RVC is skew when installed.

Can you also advise (or pictures) on where you installed the 5 channel harman kardon amp?

Many thanks

Hey Sinair,

I ran the fakra through the channels under the doors on the left. You pop off the plastic trim with trim tools between the hatch lid and the roof lining and then gently pull down you be able to just peek at the plastic holder for the three FAKRAs, you may need a mirror and some blind finger fiddling to plug it in though. Then you run it down the left C pillar and under the trim at the bottom of the doors. Then run it behind the glovebox (undo the 5 or so screws and it'll pop off) then to the RNS510.

The RVC requires an adapter, theres a very detailed tutorial thread on that in this forum a few pages back but i def recommend doing it FAKRA and the RVC together since its almost the same run. I not sure if the original guy still sells the adapter but audiupgrades.com.au bought a bunch and sell them as well.

As for the 5CH amp, it was just a normal 5 channel car amp which HK made for a while but any good 5ch will do. The way I did it was quite complex (so complex that even my friend who did it with me got confused when he did it with his golf later) and hard to explain. But basically with VCDS you can make the RNS's speaker outputs act as very high quality RCA outputs. You then put RCAs on the end and then run it to your amp and then amp to speakers. Amp install is super easy in the GTI since the battery is in the boot.

Let us know how you go I'd be in for one. May be able to combine shipping.

I'll do my best mate, hopefully they're not muppets...fingers crossed and most likely would be more viable to do a combined shipment and split them up upon arrival in Sydney.
