QUOTE(Mavik @ Nov 9 2011, 03:11 PM) The R lights found here has both the fog light and the reverse camera. Basically one side of the light shows the reverse camera and the other side shows the fog light. Reverse camera? Is this something new cause I always tot that the reverse camera is housed at the VW emblem? I demand you tell me more! |

Normal GTI don't have - SE got cruise control. Normal GTI don't have - SE got RCD 510 head unit. Normal GTI only got welfare RCD 310 - SE got lucky ******* owners. Normal GTI only got water fish owners like me Anything else I miss? Added on November 9, 2011, 3:41 pm QUOTE(Mavik @ Nov 9 2011, 03:36 PM) Made a typo. Please read my post above. OK OK OK understand. Nasib baik tak pengsan There are two ways to install the reverse camera, one is as you say, via the VW emblem. The other is via where the license plate is located. Depends on the brand of camera you get, whether it may be a OEM VW part or a 3rd party version.  This post has been edited by wira1979: Nov 9 2011, 03:41 PM |

QUOTE(grifterfmj @ Nov 9 2011, 04:15 PM) u book now March 2012 only take stock hahaha DRL is not SE exclusive. If I'm not mistaken, all 2011 GTI's get DRL.GTI SE got DRL too Added on November 9, 2011, 4:38 pm QUOTE(Jganne @ Nov 9 2011, 03:51 PM) Ahh, I believe that every year VW Malaysia will only bring in a limited number of GTI SE's so gotta specifically ask for that model. Hence why the long waiting time. So the model shown on volkswagen.com.my is a Normal one? how do we get the SE one? Same book from the dealer? But the website didn't show it  My buddy who booked will only get it in April 2012 (according to the SA lah). This post has been edited by wira1979: Nov 9 2011, 04:38 PM |

QUOTE(r3kahsttub @ Nov 10 2011, 03:39 PM) Hi all, I've written a short article on the Polo GTI here. Appreciate any constructive thoughts/comments so that I can improve! Nice Thanks in advance, folks!  So nice to see that VW are growing a set of balls and bringing in a car like this. The bloated order book is just reward for their willingness to take some risks. At the same time, makes me feel a bit depressed as I was not able to convince my wife to change to a Polo GTI. Anyways, anyone on the forum received their Polo GTI already? Come we exchange cars for 1 or 2 days as I really, really, really want to drive the car. |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Nov 10 2011, 11:20 PM) Fantastic write up bro! Very detailed and loved all the pictures available. Cantiknya gambar ...On paper you will see that the performance figures seem the same but for the enthusiast, the Golf GTI has a lot more potential than the Polo GTI because I would say that the 7-speed dry clutch gearbox is holding it back and of course there is the 1.4 engine (I have seen those crazy German fellas pull out 300bhp out of that 1.4 engine but of course on a manual gearbox). If you do a very detailed comparison, the Polo GTI shares a lot more similarities with the Golf GTI Mk1 actually, in terms of size and weight. The current Golf GTI is like double the weight of that of the original GTI but of course this is due to the safety features. I really did wish that VW would actually release a manual version of the Polo GTI Added on November 10, 2011, 11:23 pmTook some photos of my car as well the other day  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Now all you need are some Forge 6 potters and the illusion is complete |

QUOTE(Mavik @ Nov 11 2011, 11:36 AM) Yes that was me! I was at Getto getting some stickers to put on the car. Now it looks a little bit more different as to how Broleo can attest to it Eh cantik lah. The sticker you were mentioning is the EURO MY one on your number plate? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « More details please. Cheaper alternative as opposed to going the full EURO plate option (which I am fighting on a daily basis to avoid ordering). |

QUOTE(Jganne @ Nov 11 2011, 02:56 PM) Okay. If you want real hardcore EURO plates look at the link below (more expensive though). My buddy did one for his M5 and it looks the dogs bollocks.Just asked for the price for the Euro Plate, RM100 for both? http://www.tmtuning.com/HOME/catalog/produ...lt_product=2424 Added on November 11, 2011, 3:41 pm QUOTE(Mavik @ Nov 11 2011, 03:13 PM) Yeah for front and back. Note that it isn't the usual type of plate where they stick numbers on it. The entire plate is a large sticker and then protected with a clear plastic. Can you choose the fonts and stuff like that?This post has been edited by wira1979: Nov 11 2011, 03:41 PM |

QUOTE(rosizzat1000 @ Nov 12 2011, 03:51 AM) there is another website can do custom plates.. just name it.. www.autoplates.com Yeah man. Did a search and there are many others that do Only issue is whether these plates are legal here. Seems the font used are not. So maybe I'll just stick to the Getto version plates. |

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Nov 15 2011, 04:16 PM) Thats why im asking now. Got it? Well, take heed of what everyone is advising you. But if you must know, I'll give you a rough estimate about what to expect in relation to insurance.When I got my GTI early this year, the full insurance premium was around between RM6k to RM6.5k (can't remember correctly). I believe that if you're a normal young strapping virile lad, this is the price that you'll have to pay. So based on this, you just need to apportion the approx RM6k insurance premium based on the price of the VW you're planning to get. Insurance is based on the price of the car, so you can't go far off. For example, say you're planning to get a Polo GTI, expect to pay around RM4.2k (RM6.5/RM209k*RM136). Please take note that the figures I noted above is before any NCD bonuses you may have with you. if you have mad skills like me, you'll get the max NCD of 55% This post has been edited by wira1979: Nov 15 2011, 06:17 PM |

QUOTE(SeraphimGecko @ Nov 15 2011, 07:21 PM) I am okay with the prices listed by phaser without listing every bit of miscellaneous expenses & full insurance unless he's a vw SA...... Hahaha ... either that or I'm really old I believe for a serious buyer, he/she will always ask the SA before making the decision to buy or not.

Are you sure whatever you're doing to get 65% NCD is not illegal? Paid <rm1.6k (w/o include w/s) premium for 147k coverage. Btw, there is car insurance calculator at autoworld.com.my website If it's not, share here lah how you can get for the benefit of all.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Useful info bro, thanks for sharing. Just wondering, is this any different from renewing your road-tax online via MyEG? Do you still get the 10% extra discount? |

QUOTE(cute_boboi @ Nov 16 2011, 05:57 PM) Car insurance and road tax are two different thing. For my previous car, I recall paying for insurance renewal via MyEG. Don't recall ever getting any extra 10% hence my question.Car insurance do ownself = rebate 10% Road tax do ownself = nothing saved, except runner fees. I'm not sure, never try MyEG online before. Do they charge some fees to courier/deliver the road-tax to you ? For road-tax, I believe they send to you for free. Very, very convenient actually. |

QUOTE(khchong81 @ Nov 18 2011, 01:31 AM) If you renew your car insurance through MYEG, you will only get extra 10% if your choose MBB Etiqa. I renew my insurance last month and got 55%+10% NCD. Appreciate it buddy. Nice to know that we can get the extra 10% NCD off without having to move our asses. |

QUOTE(grifterfmj @ Nov 21 2011, 08:11 AM) Depends what tint you want, if LLumar or 3M you can check out LLunar at Glenmarie. I went for PPS at Shine N Shield. I believe one of our brothers here can offer you a good deal there. Not the cheapest, but I am totally satisfied in relation to their product and workmanship is tip-top.Paint protection I just found out the basement car wash at Citta Mall offering PPS so far cheapest I've heard. You can also check out Sierra Glow. Golf can mod 101 things go join vwclubmalaysia.net , the first thing you should mod bro is the tail lights. haha On an unrelated note, went to FA Wagen Glenmarie to service my car so kepoh-kepoh sikit over there. Seems that now Polo GTI is backed-up for delivery up to early 2013, hence why they're not taking any more bookings. Also, there were so so many people there during lunch time you will not believe it. Good to see that the VW brand is picking up and that people are looking to VW as a viable alternative to the other more established car brands. Good lor, will make it easier for me to sell off my car later when I want to upgrade. Added on November 21, 2011, 11:50 am QUOTE(MaxWealth @ Nov 21 2011, 11:45 AM) I was quoted RM 1500++ for llumar ..not sure what spec is the tint..is it ok? You can get it for RM2,200 installed which I think is the cheapest around. However, since you're not doing it with VW, you may run into warranty issues.What is PPS? how much is it? once do it then no need wax the car anymore? sorry noob in this kind of things how much is the tail lights? will void warranty??
