Tell me when you'll visit the ring! I'm from Germany, and i also want to test my '11 TDI there. With the ST XTA, H&R anti-roll-bars at it's SuperPro parts :mrgreen:

Just check my theard for some Infos.

Btw: the false Floor, did you do it on yourself? I also thinking about it...

Hi Mate, I'll be at the ring Friday 22nd April, Saturday 23rd and then the Sunday Morning.
Let me know if you want to meet, would be good to see another polo there!

I did make it myself yes. I'm going to make one for the boot section too. Really easy to make with some cardboard templates and a sheet of MDF

Loving the tartan cloth on your seats really cool touch.

Can I ask where you ordered your WRC bumper from was it from VW TPS (Trade Parts Specialists)? as I wanna stick one on my GTI with some 18" OZ Superturismo GT's in matt black.

So lets talk Nurburgring! The trip was great although there was a little problem...
So got the car ready on Wednesday night/ Thursday Morning. Set my BC's and fitted a stud conversion along with some added stickers
Image
So we boarded the ferry at Hull on Thursday night, Friday morning we set off from Rotterdam and headed to Adenau (where we were staying at the ring)
Cheeky pic of our 3 cars in Holland
Image
But then it all went wrong for me! Driving through Belgium and something falls off the back of a truck in front, i run over it... Tyre light comes on
So i pull over, we get the wheel off and it looks like its just a puncture! Great ill get it fixed in Adenau... but after further inspection... there's a huge crack on the barrel of my Rota!
Image
So after a lot of swearing i fitted my steelie and carried on to Adenau.
Got to Adenau and drove around every garage in Adenau and Nurburg looking for someone to repair my wheel or sell me a set! No luck
But i still went around the ring with my Steelie on, wasn't great but i wasn't going all that way for nothing!
Image

Image
Loved the trip and can't wait to go back (hopefully in August) Got home and got the rota repaired but I've now sold them and bought some OZ Superturismos which I'm currently getting refurbed
For now its sat on the Monzas !

Thanks for reading!

At least the steelie was on the rear! All that way to have a wheel failure, bummer!

OZ Superturismos which colour loving the matt black with red lettering in 18" but 1400 quid is gonna dent my pocket for a set of four with Goodyear eagles.

How are the 18's on a GTi is it a very hard ride?

Nice love the tyre graphics, they must look coll when cruising at 30!

Picked my self up a white painted WRC front bumper from a polish auction site for £325 with shipping, second hand of course and I think they still have the headlight washers in them so can't wait to get hold of them.

Just wheels, WRC rear spoiler to be painted white and a black version of the climate control units and I'll happy as a mint!

Where did you get the WRC spoiler? That's my next purchase, just worried about removing the GTI spoiler

I had purchased the RDX version but then noticed your comment and asked them directly in Germany and It doesn't fit the GTi so I'm back to square one with looking for something similar to the WRC! hmmmmm!

Thanks for the insight!
