My 6n Project

[bikerboywill]

Well im new here and i've seen a few of these "project threads" on here so i thought i would start my own, bought my polo last week with 48k on the clock, its a 1.4cl and have some small touches i want to do to make it look how i want.
here is the car as it stands now:

first thing im gonna do is just small things like:
remove the side bump strips
debadge the boot
touch up the small patch of rust on the rear left arch

then hopefully going to get some:
g60 steels
coilovers
16v bumpers
tinted lights
6n2 rear lights
de wiper
debadged grill
and we will see how it will go from there

heres a quick photoshop i did to show the lights and grill

EDIT: Anyone know how i can make the pictures smaller?

[racerjonzo]

open a photobucket account, load them to there... and u can resize and do other small editting there, once ready copy the [IMG] part of the code, ie the whole thing and put it in ur post

good luck

and nice car... be good if we could see it all

[bikerboywill]

Yea I set up an account but think I uploaded them too big so might try resizing them when I remember, and cheers I think it was a good deal...ish. Can't wait to start on it

small update

Badgless Grill

Took off the side strips

de-wipered, de badged and painted the badge black
next on the list is to fit my 6n2 lights and my clear side indicators get some g60 steels and some pressed plates

6n2 rears

[cornishdrummer]

Kept your headlights white it looks better, are you going to get clear indicators as well ?

Where you de badged the back of your car I take it your gonna remove the marks that were left.

[bikerboywill]

Yea, decided on keeping them white mabe getting a subtle tint on them and getting clear side indicators but not he front ones as I really dislike how they look.
And any tips on removing it? I've t cuted it and polished it a silly amount and it dosnt want to match in, gonna get my friend to properly polish my whole car so hopefully it might come out when he flats it

[cornishdrummer]

So your gonna have

white headlights maybe with a tint
white side repeaters
orange indicators
and 6n2 rear lights

Your not a fan of these then

[bikerboywill]

Yep that's the plan, and no really dislike them. I've seen a couple of them on green polo's and just think it makes the front end just look to plain and white

Fair enough, have you seen the green tinted ones ?

[bikerboywill]

Think so, but they look even more hideous, looks like something of a hot wheels toy

LOL, not good are they.

I think I would of went for the white ones, but its not up to me its your car.

[bikerboywill]

I like the orange, think it has a nice contrast with the green, got some crystal side repeaters today but think I might keep the orange. If it was any other colour I would ge both white but I really like the orange and green

[bikerboywill]

Finally some updates, just been collecting stuff over the last 6 months waiting for my insurance to renew now have got some lows on the go (well half low at the moment) and some recaros in. This week should be a busy one and hopefully by the end of it the polo will look very different

Firstly I put a set of Mk3 golf Recaro's in


and am now fitting coilovers, but only had time to do rears :p




think its about 100mm drop but forgot to measure :/ tyres arnt scrubbing which is nice but i think something is knocking the exhaust
