Reflex Silver 1.2 TDi (XXR 527s)

Plastidipped! Didn't come out brilliantly as I rushed it but it will do for now. Waiting on the silver inserts now.

Fuel consumption with bigger wheels

The width of the tyre makes a significant impact- larger contact patches are good for handling, not so good for drag (both aerodynamic and friction losses with the road). That's why eco versions of cars often have quite skinny tyres. When the Golf was available with optional Bluemotion Technologies...

Reflex Silver 1.2 TDi (XXR 527s)

Got this badboy as a courtesy car. It's actually a lot of fun even though its a 1 litre. Even this base model feels comfortable and is so nippy, even managed a tiny jump over a bridge on the country lanes on my way home! Makes you realise how dull diesels can be. The Polo is in the garage getting a ...

Re: Fuel consumption with bigger wheels

I've recently put 17x8.25 wheels on my polo and I've noticed that the fuel display is telling me that I'm only getting 400 miles to a tank. On the standard 15s I would get around the 500 mark. I didn't think it would change this much... plus the wheels are considerably lighter. It's going in for a ...

just the cheapo PI brand ebay ones. H&R would be ideal and there is a set on ebay second hand now but I'd rather not buy them just yet.

Reflex Silver 1.2 TDi (XXR 527s)

Had a good clean and polish today, much overdue as I've been at uni for a few months. Hate the arch gap so much! Looks alright from the back at least. Going to debadge this week and possibly get the mudguards off. I don't like the look of the grill so I'm thinking of trying plastidip. Would love to ...

Reflex Silver 1.2 TDi (XXR 527s)

Hey. I've lowered mine 30mm at the front and am running 17's with 215/40/17's and it seems like I could go lower if you wanted (I couldn't because my back and front flaps already scrape the speed bumps here in NI :) http://s16.postimg.org/yfgi8nkkl/image.jpg That's a nice drop, probably the most se...
