small Polo update, car treated to some new car protection at Detail My Ride, the silk blue just looks stunning in the sun



bluemotion badge now removed and some Polo GTI exhaust trims added, oem bluetooth module also arrived





Ed35 gets some attention next week when the AP 4 pots go on

The GT looks stunning. :happy2:  Following the sale of her Ed35 her indoors has just bought a 3 door in the blue, they really are very nice cars.  Where did you get the exhaust trims from, I've been looking on ebay for some suitable ones, but still haven't found any?  Thanks.

They are OEM Polo GTI trims you need two of these PN 6R0253825 and are around £18 each, they match the taper just need a little tap to get it on, agree its a cracking car and testament to that was i hadn't used the 35 for a couple of weeks

What's your average mpg of the blue?

on my commute its hitting 50-55mpg at the moment and isn't driven that economically

Decided at a couple of days notice to take a Road Trip to Germany with just the car, the tom tom and me, plan was:

- Harwich to Hook of Holland on Ferry
- Holland to Wolfsburg
- Visit Autostadt and VW Museum
- Wolsburg to Nurburgring
- Nurburgring to Calais via spa

Plan for the car was always to be set up for fast road use and capable of some track day action and car was faultless, coped with jams in Belgium, 150+ on the autobahn and the ring, a few pics of the car on its travels

Outside Autostadt







Wolfsburg Factory in the distance



Nurburgring





Nurburgring Hotel Car Park







Rent Race Car Ed35





Down the road from Spa
