Here are some pics after wash taken on phone. The tires might need replacement soon.

The tyres look like they'll last a couple of thousand kilometers more max. If I were you, I'd change them. I remember the tyres on my Getz had more tread and my dad forced me to change it. I went in for Michelin XM1+ (this was before the XM2 was launched). No regrets yet.

I guess I'll use it to the maximum kms. [;)]
I don't like wasting resources. You know! :tongue:
I'm trying to convince my dad for an alloy along with the tires later, chances are very less but there's no harm in trying! [:D]

Make sure you scout around for alloys that you like for the Polo. Trust me. It's every hard to come across good designs for the Polo because of the stupid 100 PCD-5 hole combo. HRS has some really good designs in 15" which I am tempted by [:D]

Yes its very hard to find out good ones for polo. I searched almost every accessory shops in Kochi and I see very less collections. Global tyres had good varieties from brands like Lenso, HRS etc , all others shops did not anything suitable for polo. Most of the big shops like New bharat PITSTOP does not have much for polo.

Did you say Global tyres stocks HRS alloys? I searched all over TVM and KLM for HRS alloys but could not find any. Where is this Global tyres located? Is it on the bypass?

I don't know if I would ever come to ernakulam in polo. I go to bangalore at times. So would check the alloys there if at all I'm getting one. Chances are quite less. [cry]
anyways, thanks for the info. [:D]

That's really shocking. But I don't think its his car which has cheated him. Its obviously the dealer. These kind of dealers should be dealt in consumer court. Feel pity on him. [cry]

It's always the dealers who cheats the poor customers and the name of the company itself, i think that dealer should be closed right away.

Really painful for customers. The problem the customer has to sweat and spend lot of time and effort by running behind all these guys, that's the major pain even if he get the justice at the end.

I feel VW service in Kerala is bit more customer friendly from my experience till now

That's one sexy polo you have there buddy. It looks amazing!
Which variant do you own? Petrol or Diesel?
Also, I can see that you have black roof, GTi grille & projector setup too. Why don't you start yourself a new ownership thread. I would love to see a bunch of pics & even ask a lot on the mods too.

PS: Mods don't like going Off-topic. :tongue:

Yesterday mobile court fined me for having black vinyl on the roof [frustration]
