UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Toyos have now produced a new tyre range: the T1- R, this will take over from the T1-S, supposed to be quieter and last a (little bit) longer. Went to the launch if the tyre last week at Rockingham race circuit......What an absolutely amazing day!!!!! Had a big on my face all day !!

Was up untill thursday and now there's a dent a door scrape on the drivers side just left of the door thanx to some t**t at college

what tyre size did u go with in the end?
is that a VW spoiler? looks neat!

those wheels look soooooo good! how much did they set u back? think its like £130 a wheel from VW dealers

Hehe yeah it was a VW spoiler, was lucky was on ebay and i got it for £20, cost £130 to spray and fit it but that's at "family" rates. Wheels were courtsey of Nelson_Wilbury working for a VAG dealership and phoned about to find old stock, £50 a wheel, tyres cost approx £230 but well worth that price so grippy, though because i'm only a 1.2 i feel my acceleration wasn't as good as it was but you also have to take in consideration what i have in the boot .

£130 is rather steep for painting and fitting
good bargin wheels btw!
rear spoiler is £135 from VW
looking neat, think cc bump strips should be next on your list!

Was quoted £200+ from other places I think it's the fitting part that bumps the price up mostly.

Probably wont bother colour coding everything, car wouldn't look right i don't think with my black taillights so i might just leave bits of black about the place, hence i have crystal black side repeaters, and when and if i get headlights they'll probably be black too.
