Defo get the bumper fixings smoothed and keep the grills off. Realllly need to be able to see the brakes though - they are awesome 8)
it was a drop off and pick up, but i know alot about how it was done, the old mouts were chopped off, and new ones positioned and welded, the tt wirinfg loom was spliced into the polo wiring loom so i could keep the standard polo clocks, a custom made cooler was made so the largest size possible was made, and to make sure it fitted in the tight space. I was told that the gear change cables were a pain to route but in the end corrado items were used, also a mk2 golf solid engine mounnt was used on the left engine mount as you look from the front, and i beleive mk7 polo gti drive shafts were used, any questions feel free to ask and ill try to ask them to the best of my knowledge...
