Golf mk8 / Re: ID Polo GTI
« Last post by Rudedog on Today at 07:14 »Yes I remember but it's nice that they've kept a familiar name - I guess there's hope that the Golf name may stay on.

Golf mk8 / Re: ID Polo GTI
« Last post by SRGTD on 03 September 2025, 22:50 »Sorry I know this isn't a Golf but maybe a look at what might be on the cards (the GTI is in the second half of the video).

The concept was previously called the ID. 2all and pictures of the GTI version were doing the rounds a couple of years ago.

Golf mk8 / Re: Door B pillar dent on gloss plastic
« Last post by JoeGTI on 03 September 2025, 21:42 »Never noticed this problem myself and I’ve had a MK8 for 3.5 years, replaced with an 8.5 in January.
They are definitely very prone to swirly scratches alright. PPF is your friend for that problem. I had them PPF’d on the new car and never see swirls on them now.

Golf mk7 / Re: What have you done to your MK 7 today ?
« Last post by Mikeyd1 on 03 September 2025, 21:23 »They look great . I had the silver ones.I ended up selling them when I sold my 1.4 tsi golf . I think they felt light if I remember around 10kg. I really like the troc Pretoria’s tho , I had a chance to buy some for a decent price but don’t know if grey prets will look good with white silver. Anyways red car with silver wheels looks great and will look even better in the sun .

Insurance / Re: 2025 Car Insurance Decreases?
« Last post by Watts on 03 September 2025, 17:03 »I've been getting a lot of quotes on the Meerkat website as I ponder what to change my car for. Given me and my situation is fixed, the only difference is in the cars and there have been lots of odd quotes (for good and bad). The strangest so far has been what has generated the cheapest quote, a 2012, Aston Martin 4.7 V8 Vantage which was under £400!

« Last post by joe6 on 03 September 2025, 16:35 »Managed to reduce my premium by £150 so another happy bunny. Retired so reduced my mileage which probably helped.

Golf mk8 / Re: Leaves etc behind lower grill
« Last post by Tarmac_Terrorist on 03 September 2025, 15:59 »It’s a totally impractical design and needs some mesh or something. My daughter’s Audi A1 is the same and it’s a painstaking task to remove leaves in the Autumn on an almost weekly basis when washed. It’s something you wouldn’t have had to put up with back in the day when VW was more of a no-nonsense brand
