It cost me nothing really, i bought some black vynl off ebay and made templates of the pillars and then vut out the vynl and stuck it on.

i sprayed the car and back of the vynl with soapy water so i had time to move it around and adjust it before it stuck and then used a hair dryer to shape it into the window seals.

i'll be honest not the easiest job but if u persevere u get a good result, two person job really.

good luck with the project mate and cheers for your comments on my car

right after the sad departure of my polo the new beast is now here.

I have replaced it with a 2001 Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.8 20VT

The spec:

Revo stage 1 remap to 206bhp
Catback Milltek Exhaust system
lowered 30mm
spacers on the back
Bailey fully recirculating dump valve

here are a few pics will get some better ones soon, opinions welcome

Polo looked slick mate. Bet the Ibiza flys though. Had a 200bhp CTR and I bet the Seat's a bit lighter too.

He had cupra black and grey half leathers in.

They are pretty much a straight fit just a little modification on the rear bench.

there dezent (or dotz) daytona's i really like them and they really suit the car, not everyones cup of tea, had alot of people say there awful which i think is a bit harsh, but not everyone cant afford bbs etc!!

think there different and there not badly priced either!
