Matt's POLO 1.6 project new wheels!

Post by matt_123 »

Been on here a while , and I can't seem to find my old build thread so thought Id post up few recent pics of how she stands today! :D

recently got some new wheels Borbet C's 17x7.5j on 195/40 tyres

need to space the wheels out accordingly still 10mm on rear and 5 or 8mm on the front

Image



few things in the pipe line was looking into supercharging her as I know of this lupo 1.4 that was supercharged and went like s**t of a shovel, and I would like a bit of that! :twisted: its on youtube if anyone has seen it??

Looking good, quite a fan of Borbet C's. Quick question, which coilovers / lowering springs have you got? I'm interested in some for my 1.6 sport..

cheers mate , never seen them on a 9n3 polo before! and im running AP coilies - good bang for buck choice imo, with adjusters taken out rear and now need to go few more turns down at the front due to the new wheels but with snow and that said to be on the way dont really want to go lower yet :P

Looks amazing mate!
Where did you get your debadged GTi grille from? Looking to get one for my 1.6 but can only find ones with the VW badge on eBay.
