One thing tho, it's a 2010 model and e head lights are yellow and really poor. Could anyone recommend some bulbs that aren't to bright. Can't stand people with head lights that are blinding.

Osram Nightbreakers always come recommended from me, well priced and are bright but aren't going to burn the retinas of oncoming traffic

Where did you decide to take it in the end?

He's gone for a garage near us that are a dealer of quantum tuning who seem to have good reviews.

I did recommend More BHP in Crewe to him the same day he asked and got the recommendation in the thread and was met with a "it's too late, I've booked it in somewhere" response. Guess I know where I get my impatience from

Funnily enough my thread was deleted because of talk of illegal activity..

I had Phillips Xtreme Vision's in the Corolla, I found them to be better than Nightbreakers, but I guess it depends on what fitment and so on.

Polo update: Remap has been done supposedely, my dad says it has 100% more power and I'll be giving it a blast later this evening when I'm home to err verify the results.

Careful Polo owners, we don't want people to realise what they are missing. The reason we tell southerners that it's grim up north is because we don't want them here. Let's not give too much away about these supercars, nod nod wink wink etc.

Anyone from Staffordshire is a southerner to me.

Akagi · 8 Mar 2017 at 23:58

Anyone North of Crawley is a filthy Northerner

Sacrilege, I've put a pre-facelift GTI grill on the wife's 1.4. Didn't want it to look like I was making a GTI lookalike though, so changed the GTI badge for a DSG one, and changed the red highlights to blue:

Akagi · 12 Mar 2017 at 15:32

That looks great. Not sure theres a need for the DSG badge though!

paradigm · 12 Mar 2017 at 15:34

I would agree (about the badge), but debadging the grill leaves a nasty section designed to clip said badge to

Any badge looks better than none unfortunately.

Does look nice indeed.

1.6 update: remapped last wednesday, huuuuge differences, clutch now slips occasionally when under heavy throttle from all the....

Cleaned the polo at the weekend with Lidl's W5 products £2 each, came out not too bad!

You can't beat 'The Lid' for cleaning products.

This guy knows where it's at, right @Housey
