Polo 6r GTi Daily/Track used

Post by AlexisMtn_ »

Hello !

Here's my 2011 Polo GTi !
Got it since 2015 iirc and have almost 120 000km to the cluster this day ! Done half myself and the first half of the 120 000km was from the 4 previous owners :lol:

Anyway, pretty simple setup, VWR Intake, Cobra exhaust, DS2500 braided lines RBF600, and everything underneath is sitting on powerflex bushes !
Other than that, carplay inside, P3 Gauges in the driver side vent and full tinted windows.
Next mods are coming im still not sure when and what cuz i'm discovering a little bit the "aftermarket" and oem upgrades that can be installed thanks to that forum :lol:

anyway here's the pics

Yeah me too that was a mandatory for me, the stock bumper is too simple looking for me. Looks like a base model polo :lol:
(He's collecting dust in my garage nobody wants it...)

I'm planning to upgrade my front and rear door speakers, do you guys have any informations ? All speakers that i'm finding for a 2011 polo are in 6.5", but mines are 5.3~".

here's the photos (in centimeters sorry 'murica :twisted: )

Something really cool with the GTi is that the battery is relocated to the trunk from OEM, thx VW

The Cobra exhaust, one of the best exhaust i tried for VW, i had an S3 8p with miltek and a Golf 6 GTi with cobra exhaust and the sound that make the cobra is INSANE, so good not too loud, i'm just really sad that this is the only exhaust tip you can have for 6r Polo Cobra Catback.

The "OEM" wheels that came with the car, ofc they are replica of something, AND they are in really bad shape, clearcoat is failing, some wheels are grinded..... NOT GOOD

In the engine bay
Ofc the VWRacing intake and as you can see, the main duct going from the front to the air filter was tearing apart, same for this one... need to find the VWRacing one new but can't find it..

annnd the top of the strut tower with the Koni sport Yellow dampers adjustable with powerflex top mount (the cut in the plastic tray was from the previous owner (my brother) and yes its not clean enough for me, i will redo the trimming to make it perfect)
