I really dont know why it is an uncommon color...
or maybe it is because it is said that red is faster :lol:

It's just a sort of a resonator/noise pipe/sound amplifier dont know the exact name of it.
But it is mounted by vw on the left-hand drive version of the PoloGti.
It splits from the intake just after the intercooler... and it is there to make some extra noise :lol:

After a whole afternoon spent at the mechanic, here are some updates :D

the honey comb grilles:

and the HR springs:
(before & after)

on a quick measurement the drop seems to be about 3.5cm on the rear and about 2.5cm on the front.

I've just installed them yesterday and didn't drove the car too much, so I haven't formed an impression yet.

Nice car,

Where did you get the honeycomb grilles? Are they genuine vw? do you have any part numbers for them?

From HongKong - more info on this thread: http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 43&t=44433


Question: I'll go for the cupra rear bushes (front whisbone) and I was thinking of getting the front ones also, from Powerflex. Found this: "Front Wishbone Front Bush PFF85-601" on the awesomegti web site, but they are only on the 9n section of the site... I think they should fit on the 9n3, but to be sure I want a second opinion :) so, is this the correct part number for the GTI?
