.I brought the polo back in May 2007 with 35k on the clock .
Soon after buying the polo I started working on it to make it my own.
I brought some 15" Wolfrace Asia Tech Triads (as seen in the old thread) to replace the rusty standard steelies.
I also did all the basic mods such as badgeless grill,clear front and side indicators, de-badged the tailgate etc.
With my Dad being a qualified Panel Beater, my Brother being a qualified mechanic and myself training to be a Paint Sprayer its very handy.
In June 2008 the Polo under went some bodywork and a full re-spray as the colour had faded to pink lol.
It was re-sprayed in the original colour LP3G - Flash Red.
Also in the week the car was getting re-sprayed I brought a new interior. The interior was Full Black Leather Colour Concept Recaros
which are very comfortable :).Iv done stuff to the polo whenever I can and whenever iv got the money to do it.

Winter 2008:
In the past 2/3 weeks the polo has really come along and Im realy happy with the way its looking .
Iv finally put the Borbets on after keepin them in the garage covered up over the winter months !! lol
I went with a 195/45/14 Uniroyal Rainsport 1 Tyres which i got for £173 fitted and balanced .
As soon as I got home from work I just had to put them on straight away !!
This is how the polo looked:
Finally got the bumpers painted after sitting in the garage for many months lol.
Managed to get them painted at work one night after work and fitted the following night with help from my Dad in the dark !! lol.
After putting the new wheels and bumpers on it was in need of a bit more lowering.
So one night after work i popped round Eddies house to lower the car, even though it was cold it was worth it !!
We dropped it an extra 20mm so its sitting at 80mm (doesnt sound alot but Im happy lol)
A pic with the bumpers on and lowered even more:
A few more pics taken on tuesday night

Like I say im happy with how far the polo has come and I just love driving it lol
Any Comments Welcome !!
Thanks
