1ST car.... 6N polo!

[carlgannon]

Got sum vauxhall split/mesh style rims on it now, had 2 grind a little on the inside of the rear rims so it wud be a perfect fit, next job is clear indicators.. will post pics up soon!

[carlgannon]

This is one of the rims on the car
they did have vauxhall emblems on the centre caps so i took them off sanded down and sprayed them silver

sorry this is not a very good quailty pic!!

It looks like you're missing an engine cover, that should be something to get if u can find one for cheap. You can spray it any colour you want before putting it on.

Personally, I like orange indicators (front and rear) and side repeaters on a red Polo. Its kinda like how the TME Evo V was with orange indicators.

I find the Mk5 rear light clusters too red when on a red Polo. If you plan on having black rims, then tinted rear lights will go with the rims.

But these are just my opinion, so not bashing anyone's suggestions.

ano yeah engine cover aint at top of my list atm tho lol.
im gonna get clear ones as the only exterior mods will be clear lights and the rims.
as for the rear lights il probley keep them how they are, i no what u mean about to much red!!!

Hmm.. each to their own style. All reds look good on any colour 6n, make a huge difference to the rear end. Tints on a red car are not my flavor, nore on the 6n shape.

I miss my 6n!

I didn't realise you got rid of yours?! What you got now?

Sorry to go of topic, car looks like a decent base. I think MK5 rears look good on all 6n's as well but that's just my opinion, go with whatever you looks best, it's your car..

Thanks now for insurance

Had a day spare so fort id take the polo over my dads garage and give it a proper clean out, i ended up cleaning all the interior and polishing the whole car by hand, using polshing clothes, autoglym polish and T-cut on the worser parts.

few pics here but they bad quailty of my phone!!
i was really happy how well the paint came up, but pics dnt do it tht much justice


Patch polished in the bottom right


Right side of bonnet done, left side not done


Shiney roof!

Ive also got the clear side repeaters on now (better pics to come)

[carlgannon]

need the grille the goes across the bottom of the bumper!!
im also thinking of painting the black spliter thing on the bottom off the bumper same coulour as the car what do you lot think? any pics of people who have done that before?

[racerjonzo]

hey nice progress... i happen to have had a red polo as my first car and yes, i colour coded the splitter PICTURE TIME



hope tht gives you a good idea

[carlgannon]

Hey thanks im liking that!!

[Tim_GTi]

I think you should keep it black and just keep it shined up.

Colour coding makes the front bumper look to tech in my opinion.
