Red Mk5 TDi SE, sold my TDi interior on ebay and purchased GTi interior, GTi Grille (modified a TDi badge for it instead of a GTi badge) Painted the Callipers Red, 15 BBS GTi Alloys wrapped in 195/45/15 Continental rubber, boot spoiler (got off ebay), just need to lower it about 2ft now :D :D :D :D

Before anyone asks, my sig picture is out of date now as the modifications were done since these pics, also the boot HASNT been flushed nor is the car that low at the front, oh, and the filler cap seems to have dssapeared too :D

Good luck

PS I recon a good mod for you would be to ditch all the seats (sell them to me) and just have 2 bucket seats. lol :wink:

What you mean by painting the grille? thats the standard cover anyway isnt it?

the front of my car needs a good respray to cover up all the chips, the front bumper is like a mountain range!

as stated he painted his grille to match the bodywork, im guessing his model polo was the one that had the black grille and the black rubber strips

guys, how easy and expensive is it to get hold of some of the 15" alloys that come standard on the 100bhp 1.4 16v?

i think they are the same design as mine, am I right?
