gti look for a 1.4 :)

Post by lillayzee »

hi guys

i may be about to buy a polo 1.4 se, and would like to prepare some changes lol, i want to give it a sportier look or close to the gti. i know this would cost loads, but what are the cheaper options? (if any!)

where could i find a nice set of gti alloys?
Can i mesh out the front gille without having to replace the bumper? i want to change the top grille but i think this may be connected to the front bumper?

hope you guys can help

what size alloys would you guys recommend if i DONT have any plans to lower the ride? i want some alloys that wouldnt look too bad without having to drop.

The gti suspension is only 15mm lower iirc. I recommend these:

As for alloys in my opinion you need to be lower than standard because the polo just has too much arch gap, 17" alloys are what you need.
