My First Polo build thread, Silver 6n2

Post by Chrisbmx92 »

I just bought my silver polo after months of looking for one. Completely standard at the moment except i de-badged the rear polo and added some source bmx stickers 8) Im completely skint at the moment so my build thread will be a very slow one haha. MY plans for it are the usual

Coilies at some point
either some modernline wheels or some ats cups not sure yet!
Black carbon vinyl for the roof and wing mirrors
gti grill
gti splitter
hopefully a gti bootlid
stubby Ariel
and i want to spray all the insides gloss black like dashboard and door handles etc (but not entirely sure how it all comes off)
Little square license plate for the front
Tint front and rear lights and tint rear windows
and head liner and sound system :)

Heres my car at the moment :)

Little update :) Just de-wipered the rear after a trip to halfords for a grommet :) sorry for terrible picture was getting dark and i took it on my phone, also had enough cause i slit my little finger open whilst taken the rear trim out haha.

Does anyone know how to get all the front trim off, like parts around the blowers and around the dashboard and the door trims? Cause i want to get the spray paint out 8)

cheers chris :)

It's a lot of work man. Taking them off is a pain imagine putting them back on ;) the far left and right blowers are easy to get out though.

Its gonna take a good few hours work, but if you really want to do it, the 1st thing you should do is get yourself a haynes manual.
