UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

A quick update. I haven't had time to do much, but it's coming along. There's a few refurbs here and there but when all thats done it'll look quite sharp.

To do list:

- New plates (as you can see in the pic)
- Either refurb the wheels or find some alloys
- Refurb the hazy front headlight
- Try and ...

Another bluey! Looks sweet man. Love the red alloys.

The whole bonnet and side panels are covered in white paint splatter, someone obviously painted a wall/house near the car and didn't cover it up. So I'm T-cutting today... it took me 10 minutes to do about 0.5% of the amount of paint on it :lol: This is gonna take forever.

Also, has there been any ...

One side is very loose so i might tack it in with something.

Also bought one of those small stubby aerials today and its hardly works, I can barely pick up any of my stations anymore. Not my day.

I think I broke every clip bar 2 or 3

And anyway I had no suitable brush to rub it with it so it went straight back on. Have to figure out a way to stop it from waving about now.

Do the bottom grills come out without taking the bumper off? I don't want to pull anything too hard in case they crack or a clips breaks...

I'm blackening them up.

What condish are the low front grills and foglights in mate?

Cleaned it inside today, then it started raining before I could do the outside. Poor quality on my phone:

I'd love a set of g60s but they're not easy come across :lol: had an idea to take off the caps and spray the basic alloys to see what they're like with a cap in the middle. easy spray them black again and put new or the old hubs on.

Mines the same colour! ;) don't update much though. Maybe just ...

I've ordered a honeycomb grill, that'll be the first modification to go on the car. It's a pity finances are so tight, not only have I had to shell out for a car last week and insurance this week but my laptop's gone dead now as well so need to get that fixed up. I really need to find a job for Xmas ...

I love this Polo!

Great job mate.

Yeah basically you tear off the old one. Heat it up in warm water so it's playable and it just slides over the top when it cools down will contract and make the seal! :D

Sounds a bit too easy :P

What about the bulbs mate, you know much about them? I linked to a set on eBay earlier but don't know ...
