It is actually blue masking tape that is not very strong....got it at a local hardware store (It's called 3M tape)

It looks great! But the dirtcatchers, in German Schmutzfänger, look not at good! And it must further to the ground!

your steering wheel is on the wrong side

@ smithi: wo siehst du denn, bis auf den ersten beiden bildern noch schmutzfänger?

[Le Clue]

No worries, the mudflaps have been removed LONG ago and if you look at the last pics the car is low...wheels are sitting equal to the wheelarches!

[Max Manwel]

Very nice car(s). And even greater to see the fact that you live like a flipping million miles away, but our Polos unite us!
Nice roadpictures from the mountainroad!

[Chrimmy]

Great!

And got a HID kit installed (waiting for my LED fogs) and resprayed the front bumper and removed the number plate

And a new Garmin Nuvi 1410:

It's too hot man..we have had bad floods by the rivers and dams from all the rain (ANd you can't keep your car clean) and I have seen my Polo's MFD show 43 degrees celcius this week..it's crazy!

oh man, cheers! it would be really great to get some people together, Polo drivers from all over the world to meet somewhere and have a good time with our cars.
Have you been to europe?
How is the situation with original parts and ordering them at your place? are they cheap?

keep rollin´

Parts over here tend to be expensive. Especially parts that are imported aus deutschland.
H&R springs come to 260euro, original TT comps go for about 800euro, ECU remaps about 350euro

Have not been to Europe unfortanetley but I am planning a trip to Wolfsburg very soon! (We met 2 girls from Berlin in SA and showed them the country...when they go back they will show us Germany )


As Ruan9n said...parts in SA is very expensive. The VW dealerships (otherwise known as the stealerships) is crazy...120 000km service will set you back 700euro I had my 16" BBS San Marino spare wheel replaced the other day and the rim cost me 500euro.

that sounds great. I hope the girls not only show you the country
If you guys having some time over here, contact us / me, eventually we can arrange a small meeting.

the 120000km service is with all the stuff like timing belt, etc? if it is, that´s in germany the same...f***ing prices.
The San Marino is a very expensive rim, that´s because it is an VW original part.

I will definitely do that..

Ja it's the cambelt and waterpump service...crazy prices!

Tel me, what options do you guys have when it comes to a FMIC like the Seat Ibiza Cupra? VW charges us 800euro for the intercooler with all the piping...

I saw a pic on this forum that shows a replica of the Seat FMIC:



Where do you get it and how much is it?
