UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Haha, ok, consider the POLO on the front gone, the majority vote has won, i started not to like it myself a little while back, and just havent got round to dealing with it. Ive never had any problems with the rear lights, when I blew my tyre and the police pulled up to check on me, i asked them if t...

do you rekon painting the alloys black would be chav?

i quite like the contrast of silver? but i have to get them refurbed, so i may aswell get a new colour.

thanks

Hey Guys,

My mates got me window tints for my 18th, this is how they look.

Thanks

Ell

hahaha cheers mate,

Hey guys, After getting my alloys, and declaring them to the insurance, to find that theres no extra cost :lol: ...i decided that i can afford to have extra premium, but putting some 40mm dropping springs on my 9N, on ebay, i found these - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-polo-1-4tdi-9N-Pi-Lowering-Springs_...

haha, not sure which i prefer?!

are they the standard steels, painted white?

Also, a bit cheeky i know, but if anyone has any time on their hands, could they maybe photoshop one of those pics above, to a 40mm drop please? thanks guys

Ell

you'd be right mate, the next plan is a 40mm drop, if the parents dont flip at the alloys, my mum hasnt been too bad, she thinks it looks good. but my dad is in the navy on a ship, and is always away, so i have to send him an email with these pictures to tell him what ive done. :P I pressumed that t...

Ok guys, so i got the 205/40/17s, thanks for all the advice, now looking into getting the wheels refurbed, they have a LOT of brake dust corrosion, i think the bloke who had them on his 1998 Golf 4 Motion never cleaned them once! :? ....golf drivers... :lol: http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l112/el...

ohh right, so in your opinion...needs lowering say..........35mm? on springs

bare in mind im only 17, so insurance is a factor. i think my insurance dont mind about alloys, and these are standard VW issue...on a 4 motion golf, but springs might be harder to blag.

is it going to look a bit stupid?

ok, well, as soon as i get £200, ill have the 225s off...and onto ebay, and put the 205s on, gonna give them a bit of a clean tomorrow, see how they come up. out of interest, the car isnt lowered, so how much arch gap will i get on 205/40/17s? i really hope it wont be too 4x4 esque, but im expectin...

Just picked them up, they are HUGE, i put them next to the car, and there is no way i could have run them on those tyres...no way at all. Annoyingly, they're all Toyo Proxes, 2 which are basically brand new, and still have all the markings on the tread, i'd guess about 8-9mm, and the other two are 3...

ohh, and thanks, im really pleased with the plate! should have got German ones though...

So are they really good? The tyres the alloys have on them at the moment are Toyo Proxies.

What benefits would i see from those, over Budgets?
