You need different struts along with slightly longer strut balls. this alters the geometry of the gas struts, in turn automatically opening your boot when you hold down the trunk button on your remote.

Very very nice:)

On an Aston I assume? :)

Similar situation though. I have found a decent layer of baked clear coat works good for machined wheels, you need flawless pre-prep though.

First off, are they wheels made for any of the VAG brands? If so, there are well documented issues all over the world regarding the same effect and even spider webbing on the wheels with machined faces. I would use something like nanolex wheel sealant after you polish them. Polish is just that, no m...

Gloss black in any other wheel other than the Vw Motorsport (or similar design) looks rubbish onthe 6R polo in white.

Go with the standard polo colour Pepper Grey Metallic, this offsets nice against the white without looking dirty like the black.

Acid free is just a marketting gimic really. If you have a concentrated basic (alkaline) solution you are just going to do just as much damage. I would use something like Meguars (it is only for cleaning the exhaust after all) to start with. We use litres of Autosol "Metal Liquid Polish" A...

The 18s look awesome on a lowered car because they re-centre the rear wheel into the wheel arch. Look at all the pics on the web of lowered 6r polos and you will notice how the rear wheel sits too far forward in the rear arch. The extra rolling diameter helps push the wheel back to where it should s...

Was trying to work out the difference, but I forgot to look at the bottom of the image

Factory catch can pre-separator. Not a bad idea...

Please guys don't use any kind of scotchbrite pad, steel wool etc because you really don't need to. Just give them a really good soak with some wheel cleaner, then wash as normal. Following that, get your hands on some autosol (as Dubbish said) an with a soft cloth, spend 10-15 mins removing the &qu...

Yes man, yes! Are you running the Whiteline rear adjustable bar? I so, tweak that to full stiff, bolt on the front (I'm guessing it will be the 22mm diameter bar, stock is 16mm from memory) then you can use the rebound and compression controls on the dampers and tyre pressures to tweak the handling ...

Swaybars John, swaybars...

Cheers, I presume you used the ones listed for the Scirocco 1.4 TSI as I couldn't find it for the 6R Polo GTI. Was a bit shocked at the price too :shock: Maybe after I get the oil consumption sorted and I've had a Milltek TBE fitted I'll go for some of these. Will be keen to see the back to back dy...

Welcome and no. The badge off the golf is larger and doesn't fit in the polo recess.

To get the automatic "coming home" lights working, you need to have a specific harness that you install and then code in.

It's called drag reduction. Wipers on windscreens are a massive contributer to drag, hence why they are hidden out of the major airflow onto the windscreen. My '99 mk4 golf had the service position on it, just makes things easier to remove the wiper blades if need be. To put wipers to service positi...
