Re: New member - 1.4 Match
Do like me my white cars. With regards to red alloys, I was thinking about some darkish matte red audi TT competition alloys for mine because gloss red just feels a bit too much but cannot afford an extra set of alloys right now
Think these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-GTI-M ... 917wt_1377
Would look great, but you would need adaptors :/....

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
If it's just the LED Daytime Running Lights you wanted the xenon option for, they are available as a retrofit soon. As for the de-wipering, it's a personal preference but i'd rather have the vision out of my rear window in the winter than the de-wipered look, specially when reversing, kinda helps being able to see out your rear window to avoid lamposts and bollards..Enty wrote: I've seen your thread, may have to get some of them for mine as that is one of the things I really want! Was gutted you couldn't get the Xenons on the Match, but couldn't justify the extra thousands for the SEL lol
I was quite busy last night (couldn't work the lights out on my drive home from work and ended up driving back with no lights on, and then just the fog lights! LOL) but tonight when I get in I'm gonna have a go at debadging the back and also maybe seeing if I can get into the boot lid and maybe de-wiper it too? May look a bit smoother?

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
the matte red alloys sound different, you should go for it! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'm thinking gloss red but with a silver lip for mine? But not decided on a wheel yet! lol
Also... what does retrofit mean?
lol!
I've whipped the badges off this evening, surprisingly easy and looks loads better![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
With regards to the de-wipering - I don't think it'd make much difference to me tbh - I've been driving a de-wipered 106 for the past (almost!) 3 years and never had any trouble, I sometimes would wax the window and then the water just slid straight off lol
I attempted to get at the wiper motor also but failed massivly... found 2 torx screw, took them out. Then I was stuck. I wonder if there is a haynes manual avaliable for these cars... lol

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
No, that one is standard lol
Maybe it's just cos of the bigger engine then?

It's totally up to you but most people would advise you against removing itEnty wrote:With regards to the de-wipering - I don't think it'd make much difference to me tbh - I've been driving a de-wipered 106 for the past (almost!) 3 years and never had any trouble, I sometimes would wax the window and then the water just slid straight off lol

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
Well for now I am a bit stuck as I don't know how it would be removed anyway haha! Maybe when I finally get a bit of time on my hands one weekend I will have a root through the car and see if I can start taking stuff to bits - I like that cos it makes me feel better knowing how everything fits together and works ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'm busy this coming weekend as I'm going to my parents - I live in Peterborough and they live in Darwen, so it's a long old drive! But I am looking forward to it, the polo should be a nice drive for the long journey I reckon![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
Hiya Zoe
Very nice motor you have there, I have just ordered the very same car in the same colour now i have seen your rear end
Spoiler thinking i may put an order in for that to be fitted. I wan't keen on a full bodykit as i think it spoils the lines of the car. Oh im a new member aswell.

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
Very nice mota. Tbh not to keen one the spoiler.
But u defo have the right idea with the mods u got planned.
I have mine lowered 120mm and 6k HIDs with all round LEDs and LED licence plate lights. Got all pretty cheap. If want details on were to get them ask
And as for the red alloys. Go for it. I got a black moda and wanting green merc mono blocks. U defo wanna stand out like. I am already known round my end for my car without the green monoblocks. So go for it
May I also suggest red Rh zw1 alloys. They really suit the polo and will look stunning in red with a White car
. I'll see if I can get a pic of the polo I seen with them on

Not sure if "zw1" but defo "Rh" alloys and looks kinda like the "zw1" alloys.
But centre spilt rim in red and outa rim as a mirror lip would look amazing
One problem this polo on airbags lol

Re: New member - 1.4 Match
Yeah I felt the same about the bodykit, it looked very OTT and didn't look very 'oem' either lol Have you managed to get a spoiler yet then?SAMBA VAN MAN wrote:Hiya Zoe

Your lights sound good, after finding I've got some spare cash end of this month I'm gonna get me some I think, so any advise you could give me would be great! I understand for a set of hid bulbs it's *about* £100, so just wanna get the daytime/dipped beam bulbs first I think? The phillips bulbs I got are ok, but they're for main beam, so I want something better for the lights which are on constantly lol
That polo looks nice
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
ALSO: Update for today - I have purchased a sticker for my rear window saying 'fresh' - cos I like to think the car is new and fresh, and also polo mints are fresh, so it suits it perfectly
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
And have also de-wipered the back, using a brilliant guide I found on google! Bought a glass bung to go in the hole, and job's a goodun :p

Re: Zoe's Candy 1.4 Match
Not normally a fan of de-wipering but it looks nice without. Not something i'd do on my own car but it looks good
Quite like the sticker as well.. ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
