Polo SEL White on White

Post by shithawk1 »

Hello.
This is my first ever new VW. Its Polo SEL with 17 inch team dynamics wheels and lowered on the eibach 25/40 springs. The badges are off the back as well.
The only other mod is it will probably get a pressed number plate at some point in the future. oh and maybe paint the calipers. Does anyone else have rust on the wheel hub? Mine seems to have a bit but it should wire brush off when i do the calipers. Just thought this was a bit weird for a new car.

You mean where the wheel mounts to?? The hub face is not protected by any paint if anything i would of thought it would be Zinc pasivated.

Lovely car but not a fan of white rims, they look cheap :) Stick your Navarre's back on and get them powder coated black :wink:

You could paint the drum with hammerite but not Red or Blue :twisted: Maybe Silver or Black.

Just a word of caution if you paint them dont paint the face of the drum where the wheel mounts.

Quite a few people have used Hammerite (Smoothrite) in silver on the MKV and MKVI Golfs as it is a common issue. Black on a black car is acceptable, but white would probably be a little OTT and look dirty very quickly.

Them wheels would be better suited to a blue type r :P But i still think it looks well, good choice with the white polo though :)
