James' Polo

[bananaskin]

Cheers mate, they have pretty cheap sets on ebay, but not as low as that unfortunatly!

[racerjonzo]

you can get a set of coilies for under £200 with raceland, not the most comfiest but it decks it and it handles well
well worth it to get your polo at a normal level of height lol

Cheers mate

Well tbh i want to matt black it, mk5 rears, lowered. Thats my plans for the moment

Not too sure how to go about matt blacking it though.

[racerjonzo]

ive heard you can spray can matt black, and apparently thts one of the few colours tht turn out decent from a can job, but thts upto you and your technical skills lol
sounds like good plans.

am buying my second polo, hopefully an open air version and im looking at wat ppl are doing these days lol
im thinking pure white, black roof, lowered to the floor (hopefully on air ride suspension) mk5 rears and FK crystal fronts, and obv smoothed to feck lol with the valver bumpers just cant wait to start this wee project

good luck james.

Update:

Changed rear lights FINALY! to smoked black. I love them compared.
Added DUB Badge
Black side indicators
Changed the front headlight bulbs to H-4 BLUE's a lot clearer and brighter

[bananaskin]

Only pic i have of rear as it was dark.

Will get better ones when its clean and daylight!

[racerjonzo]

hey james, cars coming along nicely, thought you had 6n2 rears planned?
those lights are stilla lright, think theyre a bit too dark, but thts just IMO

ive now got my wee prject car to mess around with, a nice little navy blue valver, in the middle of replacing the dash to the 6n2 style, SO funky lol

got any more plans ready to take action?

[bananaskin]

Better pics after a wash











What you think?

[luke 16v]

looks better but needs slamming

oh and not a fan of the 'DUB' badge on the boot lid

[ppuaar_polosport]

i mean this in the nicest way possible
but that looks like a turd

[bananaskin]

Er cheers mate.
Thanks for the constructive comment.

If i wasn't on a student budget, it would look A LOT different.

[16vMoose]

first thing i would have done before spending any other money would be on some coilovers

[jonny6n2]

defo needs slamming and the rear wiper taken off, it looks like a little tail dude... dont mean to be horrible just calling it like i see it. ohh and remember the best mods are the subtle ones bud. this car is definetly getting somwhere now though.

hi your front grill looked nice in silver. also i how did u cut the rear bumper? cos i want to cu mine . ive tried saw , soldering iron , sander . how did u do it

[bananaskin]

Did you really prefer the chrome grill?
I was never sure which i preferred.

Cut the bumper with an angle grinder! Well my dad did. Then picked up motorbike windscreen rim cover from halfords, and pushed it on around the cut edge, to cover the roughness and make it look a lot better!
