Show Us Your Motors!

The point is it's on airbags, so it doesn't drive around that low and nor will the wheels always sit that far forward.

Which arguably makes it even more pointless - The suspension's single purpose is to look 'good' at shows and in pictures. As far as I'm personally concerned mods that don't generally improve the car apart in very select situations (I.E when parked up :p) are a bit crap.

That's not to say that I'm a boring old snob. I'm all for modified cars in the right circumstances but the 'VAG scene' has shown time and time again to have a bucket full of 'form' over function on otherwise pretty bland cars. That in itself isn't really that bad, but everytime I hear/read about someone in the 'scene' commenting about other types of modified cars I get the distinct impression that they look down at the rest of us. I remember one forum discussion (think it was Edition 38) where several forum members referred to modified Ford owners as "Knuckle Daggers" because they actually use their modified cars properly, I.E on the track or the rally stage, not parked up in a field somewhere in wales surrounded by hundreds of other VAG cars. That sort of thing sticks in my mind.
 
Well ultimately that's all down to personal preference isn't it, some people prefer style over function and I can certainly appreciate why, the roads in this country aren't always conducive to turning your car into some sort of semi track monster.

I personally wouldn't go that far with a car, but I can see why someone might.

I can't however see why someone would spend a fortune completely retrimming a Polo though :p

So short sighted.

Air bags should be loved by every body, even when you're not a fan of low/slammed it still twarts clampers :)
 
What sort of air filter have you got on there? I've got a K&N jobbie that gives a nice induction noise above about 3krpm. Love that and the pops and bangs on the over run I get with the new exhaust hehe.

Stock one and my exhaust is one from Mini Spares in Huddersfield. Though the video makes it seem rather quiet as its a lot louder in person. :o

To be honest, air filter is something I could do with replacing some time. The the K&N worth it/any extra power? :)

K&N Typhoon. I have one yet to install it though. They do give some horsepower maybe 5/8BHP max. Good sound over 3krpm though.
