Slapshot, you have joined a UK forum asking US specific questions.

Sirius/XM is a US/Canada only satellite radio service that UK GTI owners will have no access to nevermind knowledge of.

The 40th anniversary GTI you own is also a US only market limited edition.

You should therefore not be at all surprised at the lack of response.

There can be risks associated with polishing out scratches on a windscreen if not done correctly or if the scratches are considered too deep to be suitable for polishing out. Polishing too aggressively or using too aggressive a polishing compound can result in dips and hollows in the glass. If this happens and if the polished area is in the driver’s line of sight, the view through the glass could be distorted - similar to wearing someone else’s prescription glasses.

I read somewhere (sorry, can’t remember where) that it’s not recommended polishing out scratches in windscreen glass that are in the driver’s line of sight for the above reasons. However, if the scratches are very light, you might get away with having them polished out - probably best to seek advice from a car glass replacement / repair company.

Hi fellow gti owners

I stupidly used a cheap ice scraper on my windscreen recently and it’s left some tiny scratches. Most I can only see when the sun is low in the sky but there are a couple right in my line of vision. Any thoughts on if I can get them polished out or best to just try and ignore them. Lesson learnt

Which LEDs did you use? Is it a "friendly" MOT, I assumed the look for LEDs now fail cars based on simply having LEDs when they shouldn't

Got them from HID's Direct can't remember the ones though. I will look on the box when I get time as my old HID bulbs are stored in it. They are a great upgrade as brighter and match the DRL's ad Fog lights colour temperature.

As for the MOT, I have had it done at a few places with zero issues. The beam pattern is exactly as the HID's were down to it being a projector design. All the bulbs are LED's (H7 cornering lights and reversing & front indicators BAY9S) and have been for years.
