Hi


1) Canon 500D with either a 10-22 or 17-55 lens
3) No polariser but ND grad to stop the sky blowing then tweaked the levels in Lightroom to get the exposure right for screen (on my PC exposure can look spot on but after uploading to Flickr I find the exposure seems to drop a stop or two

2) I've noticed my wiper more since the car was in the garage for the sensor replacement. (Might be my imagination) Ive always noticed it lifts up slightly when I turn the engine off (as all do) but it seems a tad excessive at the moment - will have to keep an eye on it.


I have noticed that my wipers are slightly higher than when new, I think it happened last winter when snow became compacted under them, turned to ice and the wipers could not go down. :sad:

i'm not sure whether it's my imagination as the driver side one is sitting fine and when you put it in service mode they are both very close to the A pillar.

I might call into the garage one evening (they are on my way home) and ask them to have a quick look/comparison to the others that they have on the forecourt

I'll ignore the fact it's a polo, what's it called Hurdy, "Dark Helmet?"

Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2. VW Racing special order that deletes the "motorsport logo round the rim and also machined inside so that there is no need for a spigot ring against the hub centre.  :cool:  Oh and the alloys are anthracite metallic - much nicer than gloss black IMO and easier to keep looking clean.

Awesome, loving the wheels; in fact I think it may be better looking than the Golf GTI  :drool:

Thanks for the pics enjoy your very sweet car.
