Hi All,

Just ordered a new Deep Black pearl 5dr GTI Polo as a daily driver and toy to play with and thought I'd say hello. 8)

I'm a bit of a serial modifier as you can see from my last VW below and so will be comprehensively hacking and slashing at the car as soon as I know everything is okay as standard with it :twisted:

I'll be looking at brakes, alloys, suspension,interior refit, engine mods and audio upgrades before even touching a remap as I believe this is the best way.

Piccies of the old Veedub below. :D Loved this car.

With (Green) and without (red) nitrous dyno's

Install. :twisted:

Cheers

John

Welcome to the forums :) That Golf looks erm.. rather beasty. The dyno is pretty scary :evil: Can't wait to see the results of the Polo GTI once you've toyed around with that :)

Cheers AJ,

Yep, even if I go potty with the Polo I doubt I'll get near what I spent on the Golf :shock:

Haha, wouldn't wanna imagine what all that cost though, you could have probably had an R32 and ended up with change :) Get some pics up when you collect it :wink:

Don't worry I'm a bit of a Pic whore, so there will be plenty to look at. 8)

I've specced Deep Black Pearl, but still have the option to change if I want (the lure of silver is great with me!) :lol:

They have said "around" November, so about 4-5months!!!!

Nice looking Golf mate.

I think VW have got a really nice little motor with this new 6R Polo, lots of Golf converts too by the sound of it. I've not driven the GTI, but my TSI, reminds me a bit of my old MK2 Golf, about the same size and really nimble.

Look forward to seeing your new Polo after a tinkering.

I doubt the 7spd DSG can hold the power without premature failure happening.
