Hiya,

Right well i'm fairly new to the forums so first off a big Hello to everyone.

Here's my mk5 as it stands at the minute:

Polo 1.4SE 16v (2001 Y reg)

Interior:
VW Satellite Navigation/LCD headunit
6 disc changer
Alpine SPS-171A Components
Alpine MRP-F240 4 Channel amp
Genesis Profile 4 amp
Audiobahn AWC12T 12" sub in custom enclosure, dual voice coil amped.

Exterior:
O.Z Polaris 15" wheels

JE Design Front Grille
Smoked rear LED Clusters

Pics:

Well the wheels i've got on it at the moment are from my Brother's Polo which he's just recently sold, they look much better than the standard VW ones I had on before but they're definately not staying- it's my 18th next month so i'm gonna try and get a set of RS4/8 Replicas out of my parents.

I've also got a nice Alpine flip-down LCD which i'm getting fitted to the centre of the interior ceiling which will come down when the ignition is turned on and that is going to be linked up to the spare PS2 I have lying here.

Other than that, it needs lowering, tints and a Spoiler, getting a Rieger Front splitter fitted next Wednesday so that should make a nice difference to the front end. I'm also getting the ICE properly installed with a boot build beginning next week. Looks a bit boring just in a box.

Let me know what you think, enjoy the pics. Sorry it's not very clean it was raining when I took them.

Tom

Hi mate, thanks for the comments.

I bought the lights from Awesome-GTi, www.awesome-gti.co.uk but looking at the website they're not listed so perhaps it might be worthwhile giving them a ring and seeing if they can still get hold of some for you. Mine were Â£120 which I don't think is bad at all.

Hehe the sat-nav is a wonderful piece of kit, looks the dogs and is really helpful for people like me who are hopeless with maps.

It did when I bought it. I bought the Polo about 3 months ago and it had it in, i've got the original receipt from VW, it was a Â£1300 option.

got same lights as me proper bling

are they LHD like mine?
because my car failed its mot on the foglight/reverselight being on the wrong side (thought they wouldn't notice!) so had to put old red ones back on to pass, then swapped them back over again

Yeah they are lol, imported from Germany so are on the wrong side. MOT isn't for a year though so i'm not worrying about that just yet.:p

Aye it's in reverse- force of habit.

I just tend to park up, switch off and get out.
