Hi,

This is my first post on this board so hi to you all, I've had a 1999 1.4 Polo for about 6 months now and am starting to do it up a bit. I've put some lexus lights and clear front indicators and side repeaters on so far as well as a few bits inside like a new handbrake and gear knob etc. I was hoping to get the following things done and have got a few prices but I don't know if they're reasonable or if I'm being ripped off.

Tinted Windows - £180
Suspension Lowered 30mm - £150
Rear Spoiler - £85
Silver Dashboard kit - £66
Blue Dials - £40

Can someone let me know if these prices are reasonable?

Also I'm after an induction kit and some 15" alloys if anyone knows where I can get them fairly cheap.

Thanks a lot

Cool, I got pretty much the same car.

Ive just put Lexus Lights on, there lookin pretty cool. Im gettin clear indicators and side repeats. I got a Sony Xplod Amp and Sub, so its coming along.

I got a white one, compliments the clear body work.

That rear spoiler seems a fair enough price. Where are those tinted windows coming from?

I rekon you could get the suspension done alot cheaper than £150, I know someone who could do mine for £50.

Sounds like a nice choice.

The quotes for the suspension and tinting are both from a garage in Doncaster called Topgear.

I've put in a sony explode headunit and some 1000w 6x9's just waiting for pay day to get a decent amp and sub. Project for this weekend is the removing of the bumpstrips and rear Polo badge

Excellent, Im looking at front lights, mayb crystal or something, I wanna see all the different front lights I could have... endless possibilities, sadly not an endless budget, infact a very low 1!

What suspension are you getting £150? Seems a bit high for springs and fitting!

I got some coilovers going for £200 if you're interested :D Fit them yourself no bother at all.

Well what I'd do is buy and fit the springs myself (not hard at all) and then just get the camber/tracking done at a garage. Should only cost about £100ish altogether that way. (at least mine was when I had lowering springs).
