I agree white suited the mk5 but dark colours suit the mk6 better.

White and red hide the paint issues  :evil: There is so many white ones about i see quite a few of them so i would go for red if it me and i have really warmed to the mk6 red.

I am at a loss to understand why so many of the other colours, apart from red and white, have paint issues. I have seen these myself now and could not believe it!

But there are two over riding problems with the flat paints: (1) They are soft and chip easily, (2) They scratch and show swirl marks more easily.

One can't seem to win on with a VW!

White and red also have these issues but its harder to see :wink: but i can still spot them straight away now due to how many i have seen. I am yet too see one without issues and the polos suffer much worse especially in red which is a shame as i really like the polo shape  :sad:

Snoops: I wonder if the cost cutting is going to get worse with the new Mk7. It really bugs me to see pink undercoat in the boot and other places.

Maps wise you are looking at a steady 255-260bhp at the least.

Price wise it's a bit difficult to comment. For example REVO software and the SPS switch are around £500 together and then there's insurance. Alternatively private firms can be as little as £250.


260Bhp'ish isn't bad at all. Sounds good.


Sounds like ive started a war on MK6 colours  :laugh:
I just like it in white. Think it looks nice. My MK5 is in black which looks tasty but i fancy a change  :smiley:
