UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

yes it is finally time, i picked up my car today from my cousins and it weird. after not driving it for nearly 2 months and driving a citroen c3 and a mk4 vw polo for the last 2 months my car feels weird to drive again. no problem, guess i'll just have to drive it more to get used to it;)

it sounds quite loud to, same as b 4 but without the buggered engine and gear box noise....... its nice and smooth now. just how it should sound.

if only silk could talk........... it would sound the same as my car.

hopefully when i do the other modifying bits i'll get the fotos done to for u lot to see.

does n e one know if its easy to colour code door handles or if its easier to change them for the required colour all together?
same with the bump strips or just remove the strips and flush them.

as u know i got my car back and i got the new splitter ready to go on and the new back box ready and i just ordered a popper for my boot so then i can get that fixed up and flushed... excellent....

my question for u tho is an ICE question......

the other night when i was listening to music i got out my car and looked at the rear lights and noticed the 3 break lights were flashing along with the beat of the sub. it wasnt full on bright like when u put ur foot on them but it was flashing enough to see...... i have a 1300w sub and a 1500w amp and 2000w wiring kit. does n e one know if theres a problem or if its just that i dont have a power cap wired into it? the front light go dimmer and brighter to depending on the volume of the music...

n e one help?

It should be in the front of the owners manual kip

Paint code is also marked on a sticker in the boot underneath the carpet, that I know for sure!

Sorry for misleading you on the power cap, I honestly believed that information was fact until I followed Tom's link

Every day is a school day!

n e one know how much a standard factory radio cassette player from a x reg 2000 polo would cost?

I got one atm - I can sell it to ya if you wish. In as new condition! £30 plus postage - I'm willing to negotiate Pm me

Alex

thanx but im only asking as im selling my one and someone offered me £15 for it and i said £20 would be better.

Hehe all good - id say £25 really. Dependant on condition of course, but the more the better Anything up to £30 is respectable
