xkarinx Posted May 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 lurrrrrrrrrvvvvvvvvvvly polo !!Thanks As some of you might know the Polo pooped itself on the way back from UDubs, so off it went to to get fixed a few weeks ago...I was keeping my fingers crossed it wasn't anything to do with the gearbox, but it's a Polo GTi so who was I kidding....The diagnosis is.... broken diff, 5th gear and release bearing . It's taken a while getting it fixed with all the bank holiday's, but I'll have it back this week I spent a day over the weekend cleaning the RF's and as I haven't got any proper pics of them yet since they've been polished I thought I'd get some while they're clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the pics now it still looks high but it's sitting a lot better than it was anyway, and lower It'll be going lower once the front arches can get rolled and I can get some shims on the back, but it'll do for now Just soom poopty driveway pics for the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Devil Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Do you have the centre caps? The car is amazing, but the loss of centre caps kind of tarnishes the whole stunning look of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xkarinx Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Do you have the centre caps? The car is amazing, but the loss of centre caps kind of tarnishes the whole stunning look of it.Yeah I have the centre caps I just don't run them everyday as they're too easy to pinch and are known for flying off Thanks for the nice comment too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xkarinx Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Had a good weekend at All Types, and managed to pick this up too We did get attacked by a very angry bird while swapping the plates over on the Polo afterwards though which wasn't so fun!
