Welcome to uk-polos!

Defo get rid of that HUGE aerial!

And possibly de-wiper the rear??

And if you haven't done it yet (can't see in the pic), add a set of aero wipers

Might want to get rid of the GTI badge and replace it with a TDI badge. You can get them off ebay for a few quid. Unless your going for the GTI lookalike image. Car looks great though mate, love the colour.

You could get the bumpers smoothed, set of pressed plates maybe and possibly invest in a set of Xenon headlights.

In my opinion the wheels dont suit it, set of BBS RXII's would really set it off, or maybe Lenso or Ronal wheels if not.

alright ben i've got a red D for front badge so i'll move the T to the left and put the D in middle should be cool then whats pressed plates??

also what do you think about tinting the rear windows whats ur opinions on this?

I'd personally definitely lose the badges and wheels, just my oppinion though. Tints work, but on a dark blue car I'd be careful how dark you go. A nice light grade would look nice I think.

In terms of more mods the list is endless. To name a few I like personally:

LED fogs sidelights & indicators
HIDs dipped and full (GTi lamps if you want)
6N black rear view mirror
Shorter Aerial (S2000 one?)
Colour coded rear emblem back
Pressed Plates
GTi Splitter
Stubby Mirror (if you havent got one)
De-locked door handles
Remove rear-wipers
Black Interior parts
etc etc etc

Yeah Nick if you go along the route of mods that Tim has listed you cant go wrong.

Pressed Plates are just the Euro Style metal plates. Check out dubmeister for them - £15 per plate

Totally agree with Tim on the tints, dont go too dark with them just a nice light grade.

Be good to see what you do with the badge, look forward to see how that looks.
The wheels dont suit it too well but if your planning on changing them then check out rimstyle, they have good offers on new wheels. If not then eBay or check out the for sale section on this forum. People are always selling good bits & bobs on here.

thanks lads i'll get a pic up when i manage to get round to doing that tdi badge on the front, legs in pot atm so its hard work doin out.

just another quick question.. the spoiler it's black do you guys think it looks ok black or is it worth getting it painted same colour as car, and how much would it roughly be for it to be done any ideas.

nick

[6N2 GTI 00]

I think yours looks good in back to be honest nick, although having it colour coded would look even better.

Shouldnt cost much to get it colour coded. When I had my bumpers smoothed they colour coded my splitter free of charge but I would norally expect to pay £40-60 tops. You could have a go yourself though and save some money.

Glad I got mine done though, looks awesome when polished.

o cheers ben thats what i was thinking it looks ok black but it will probably look nice colour coded so it blends in with rest yer i'v tried painting before but i'm not very good at it cuz it never seems to get the smooth shine pro's can get i duno if its cuz i dont put the laquere on early enough god knows lol.

[vw55raz]

nice one nick!

Get the splitter colour coded! lol

[RS_GT]

Real nice, i was considering RS5s a while ago! defo get that splitter CC'd and a bit of back to black on the middle bumper grille, looks wikid tho!!

[nick6n2]

yeh it's just cuz the suns on the middle grill it looks like the gti 1 wen it's clean back to blacked, as for the splitter i kinda like it black cuz it stands out well with back to black on it and goes well with black grills and the bra, yeh i love the wheels basically straight swap for them black 1s so couldn't argue with that mod.
