[97poloCL]

hi all, firstly my name's Sergi and im pretty new here, i've got a 97 6n polo 1.4CL, standard apart from some 14" VW rims.
looking to get some other rims and do some bits and pieces to it..

here's some pics of when i first got it




(pics taken before i passed btw )

firstly i've got a choice of getting some 15x7 ATS Cups or some 14x6 BBS e30 rims..not sure which would suit the car best - opinions?

secondly does anyone have any advice on insurance with coilovers/springs? really want my arse draggin but i know insurance companies dont.. any way of getting round that?

also any other suggestions to what i can do would be awsome

thanks
Sergi

Another simple answer, he's right!!

[97poloCL]

nice, just tried to get a quote from there and waiting for a reply, ima check out the ATS end of the week/weekend

as lowering goes what can people recommend me? coilover and spring wise

any other suggested mods? apart from 6n2 rear lights and clear indicators!

[97poloCL]

also read up on adrian flux and found quite a lot of people having troubles with them such as hidden costs etc.. anyone know about that?

Im after ATS cups too! good choice!
get rid of the bump- strips, de-badge, smaller ariel, clear side repearters... all cheap/ free, looks instantly better too

[PoloGrant]

Oh yeh, and remove the rear wiper and motor, replace with a grommet!

[97poloCL]

love the cups tbh!
and yeh gonna do all those bits, not sure about rear wiper..we will see
anyone know where i can get some nice quality (but cheap-ish) clear indicators & lights, ariels, badgeless grill and all those bits??

awsome, you got any pics of them? and idk how much they go for but how does a fiver sound?

I'd go for the ATS cups also. If you do, go for 165/50/15 tyres, definitely.

Try Bell insurance also mate, they're good with young drivers and modifications

they're fitted with 195/50/r15 tyres atm.. what would the difference be? not too sure on tyre sizes!

[Tim_GTi]

They suit 7s better than 195/45s. they have a tidy stretch to them

[97poloCL]

i see.. when i need to change them ill get some 165s for them. hoping they'll look sweet as on my polo either way haha
anyone suggest any coilovers or springs to lower it?

[Tim_GTi]

Oh I just noticed you said 195/50s. They won't look so great, the tyre profile is pretty huge, they'll scrub especially if you go lower.

I'd get them on 165/50s before they go on.

Definitely get coilovers mate.
