Re: Change VW badges.

Twisting the front badge wont work on the 6r, u have to take the grill off and undo tabs from the back of the grill That method will remove the badge and the badge holder off the front grill. The same method used to remove the rear badge can be used to remove the front badge on its own without the h...

Re: Saty's Polo 1.6 tdi SEL - Remapped 145 bhp 320nm

Went from 90bhp to 145bhp and 230nm and 320nm You're a braver man than I, sir :shock: It is quite a difference compared to stock, from what I was used to its silly fast. How do the numbers compare to ur bluegt with ur box? 55bhp increase, that's brave. On standard internals? That's got to be pushin...

Had the car remapped at VRT tuning, a dealer for more-bhp Went from 90bhp to 145bhp and 230nm and 320nm The remap highlighted on the drive home that the braking system really needs to be upgraded, better pads and brake fluid refresh is next on the list VRT and more-bhp done a great job and the car p...

Re: Front Bumper Removal

I would have thought headlight adjustment would be on the headlight itself, I don't see how the placeholder on the chassis would effect the alignment of headlights. Removing the headlight would have no effect on alignment, as long as the headlights are seated properly once they are put back in, the ...

Re: Saty's Polo 1.6 tdi SEL - audio upgrades installed

Great job Saty! one question when installing your double din radio, did you need to install a new radio cage, or you just slide the head unit in, and popper the fascia around it? Thanks !
