Aye nice little car mate!! Where did you get the parts for your rear brake change???? Thanks!!!

hi there and thank you, the rear brake change was a big effort, many parts were ordered but it was bought as a set.

brake lines
rear disk guard
rear disk
calipers
caliper mounts
brake pads

was pretty tricky, but it was very worth it.

Where did you get the set from??

i got it from http://www.taobao.com specifically this one http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=5992933143

as for the grill people say go back to a gti red, but its not a gti polo.. like a cat wearing a lion's skin haha.

As long as you dont stick a GTI badge on it and pretend its a GTI its fine :p

thank everybody for all the comments, its an ongoing process

i am currently getting the interior re-tailored for the next few days, i will show everybody when it comes back.

i want to buy spacers for the rear but i think 20mm is maybe too much? the wheels are 17" ET35 7.5j on 205/40/17. i hope someone knows if this is okay.

thanks

I like the roof, Looks very nice! Your wing mirrors look exactly the same as mine :

[beijing polo]

thank you karson3270, i thought your car was mine for a minute until i saw a bottle in your car haha!

what do you think if we tinted our indicators?

[Karson3270]

I think it will look nice a long with the Carbon Fibre, But if I did that, I would also want to make the base of the wing mirror and the wing mirror holders gloss black with Carbon Fibre.
