UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

alreet everyone, just come across these forums.. been looking for some good UK polo owners ones for ages!

had my little 1.4 Match just over a year now and its getting there REALLY need one of those debadge grills for get rid of the bonnet curve but dont fancy paying over £100 for one, anyone know where i can get a good one for a little less?

also in the process of getting my boot smoothed, replacing my splitter (yes its knackered) getting some new fogs, a properly painted rocker cover and gettin some more horses outta her (induction kit etc then maybe 1.8T conv )

anyone reckong GTi front lights would look any good?

anywho here are some pics

Hello chap, welcome to UK-P

A debadged grille, brand new, is about £120 at the moment for a kamei item. To get one cheaper you'd probably have to source one off eBay or a second-hand sale on the forum? Foglights will look pretty sweet, even if you don't get around to wiring them up just having them in the bumper it'll make a positive impact on the looks

GTi-spec gas discharge headlights will look superb but might be a pain, there's a lot to think about, the lights, the ballasts, the headlight washers, the whole setting up of them... bit of a 'mare! JWC on here has done it to his car, might be worth asking him what is needed for the job?

Nice Polo btw, a good bit of colour-coding going on there, and something a bit different to what we usually see! Where'd you get your sunstrip done mate - done with the tints I guess?

Cheers

whoa, thats a really nice lookin motor

keep it up!

hi and welcome

I used to be really into bodykits and all that but Ive kinda went off them, but if thats what your into...... keep it up.

It's not to my personal preference, but at the end of the day it's your car- and I can appreciate the work you've put into it- so nice one.

Really like the tints. Also, the addition of foglights would be spot on I think (no pun intended).

Not a fan of the Exterior, a little too much for me. But loving the colour coding inside. Was this hard todo? I fancied having a go at doing something like this with my gti. What did you use?

i did the sunstrip maself with a freind along wit the tints

as for the inside i used a laquer and gloss paint, basically took the bits that i could off and sprayed them outside the car and bits that wouldnt budge i masked up and did it that way

anyone reckon it needs lowering/bigger wheels, i was thinking m3 replicas, looks pretty sweet on the photoshop i had done with a skyline front end too

Another thing with the GTi Headlights is they're bloody expensive items!

how much you looking for a pair then? £300+?

also i like the badboy bonnet idea on ur sig mate, looks sweet

welcome to the forum bud
nice polo you have there! bet it turns heads
not a fan of bodykits for the mkv either, mainly because it has quite a chunky exterior as standard.
but yours looks well done!
-Ben-

another birmingham lad eh.
cars lookin good bro, but in my opinion theres a couple of things that cud be done such as changin the front splitter- kinda looks 2much and sorting out a grill that covers the curve such as kamei or just a debadged one or even a gti grill. apart from that its look spot on. did u paint all that stuff urself ( interior, wipers, seats etc..)

hello and welcome, hope you enjoy your stay here, nice car by the way what size alloys are they???

thats wot im in the process of doin lol, i reckon even if it were perfect condition the splitter still dnt really work, no idea why i bought it but it was the last thing that went on so i rushed it a bit

and yea i painted everything apart from the seats which have the gti retrim i got done at a place in burton
