hey guys
im new to the forum and ive got a 1.2s polo in black not to many mods to list so far but hopefully 2009 brings many mods for her
so far shes got gti grille and some uprated speakers ,
wanting to get new wheels and lowering done and a s/s exhaust
also if anyone can help what is better to go for a pannel filter or induction kit, like does anything give more performance gains or jus make the 1.2 sound better cos it sounds like a bag of bolts at the moment.

is that the 1.2 6 valve? Its irrelevant really as putting either of those filters on is a waste of time truth be told matey. Yeh it may sound a miniscule amount better but putting more air in your engine is probably only gonna cost that bt more on fuel and play with your air sensors that bit more. Mght aswell save the money and put it in a pot for the wheels in my opinion mate!

They will fit no probs and you wont need longer bolts unless you want to fit spacers, you dont need to tho

The 1.2 can be remapped
Ok we can't add masses of power but for sure we can make drive and go better....
Maybe 8 bhp and 10-12 NM torque is available... many say no point remapping 1.2 sized engines but these increases DO make a difference...
Just a thought ????????
