I really like that a lot!
Would Monza 2's - the 18" wheels fit the car? Genuine not replica?

Does it have paddles with the DSG as well or not?
Bet thats a lot of fun to drive with that power!

its the same stud pattern so i see no reason why not!

and you do get paddles with your 7 speed dsg box yes  :happy2:

How you getting on with the brakes?  You looking at any handling mods yet?  Im thinking of ordering the whiteline 23mm adjustable rear bar now, then get them to fit it the day i pick the car up

I know that the mk5 Ibiza uses the same aftermarket rear ARB as the mk4 Ibiza, therefore I would thing that the Polo & Fabia vRS will be the same.

I has a adjustable Whiteline rear ARB on my mk4 and rated it highly. You can pick them up for circa £150..

288mm on the front iirc and teeny weeny solids on the rear, the MK4 platform upgrade of 312mm front and 256mm vented rears slips on a treat!  :happy2:

I nearly papped myself on my recent Polo GTi demo drive when i hit the brakes at speed! must do mod imo  :scared:

Brakes are quite frankly crap, at least compared to my K1,s brakes. I have a cunning plan in the pipeline to get it sorted though.

288mm discs on a car with 180bhp out of the factory is a joke....

VW should of at least fitted the 312 single piston setup.

I had the 288's on my A3 140PD running Bluefin and TB Milltek, 190Bhp on the rollers and about 400KG more than a Polo GTi, now that was scary!  :scared:

First thing i said to the missus during my test drive with the fabia vRS was, brakes need changing, needs a Rear ARB to kerb the roll a little, and it felt a bit gutless in the midrange

She said why buy it, but i think they have potential
