@CalvinGTI I know! I don't like the headlights at all! But I wanted a new car and they dont' do the 6N2s anymore! So I thought might aswell, still good though.
BUT hopefully the New New Polo will come next year with some better headlights.

Yep, well said! i second that!
Did you know that they don't make the GTi anymore, the new polo will use a diesel engine!
i cant wait to get my hands on a 5 door GTi (6n2)
dey dint make any other polo gti's!
Forgot to mention what ICE i've got:-
Kicker KX850.4 Amp (You guessed it, 850Watts 4 channel amp)
Kicker Comp VR 12" sub
Clarion Head-Unit
Ummm, thats all about it! lol!

Yup, did know that. Hence it's called Polo GT, 'cos it's a stupid Turbo Diesel. They're good, quite torquey and economy is good too, but I just don't like the fact it's a Diesel and the annoying sound it makes.
Woops just realised we're kinda off topic here.
Anyway. Clarion ey? I've just got myself a cool new Alpine headunit. It's so cool, flips down etc and I can play my MP3 discs with it. Quite astonishing with 134 songs on a single disc (192kbps quality).
Have iT!!
More Info!

The amp, the sub, got the wiring, getting a box.
I just need it installed.

Sorry, yup your topic.
well mate DO IT YOURSELF!
That's my tip. It's really not that difficult as you may think. And you will learn a hell lot about your car then.
We will try and "guide" you through it. I mean 2 weeks I didn't have a clue how to put all my stuff in to my (new) Polo. That was scary first, didn't wanna break anything and there's me worrying about the air-bag popping out, etc etc...
I mean at first, I was even scared of the car battery, which sparked when I tried to remove it.
But it's all done now, for the first time. Me 17!! Can't believe it.
You probably do realise I am trying to convince you to do it yourself mate.

Thanks for the boost of confidence.
Just that i've got a father who may kick that confidence back down if i even get near to touching the car.
I'll probably try it myself at first. I know i wont be successful!
I'm trying to get it done before Saturday.
Impossible i reckon!!!
1. Uni work is stopping me
2. British weather is crap!
3. My amp is in the middle of nowhere!
*BIT ANGRY :@*

That's alright mate, just ask if you dont' understand.
Same here really
1. College work.
2. 4 hours sleep.
3. Have a garage though!
4. Just fitted the amp on top of my subwoofer box.
Goodluck.

I hope the amp is secure!
Can see what would happen in a crash @ 50!
Also, i read somewhere that it's the law that you've got to secure what-evers in the boot, or something like that!
Meaning, your sub and amp has to be screwed down!
Not sure if it's true tho! i read it somewhere once!

Well not sure and not bothered.
I just used some tacky velcro to stick my sub/amp on to the boot mat at the moment. Can't be arsed with anything else at the moment.
