What does everyone think of this?
I love the lower lip spoiler but it's crying out for some side skirts.
www.tuningnews.net wrote:Abt Sportsline has created an extensive aero dynamic package for the new VW Polo which accentuates its sporty design. The newly designed front grill and front spoiler lip give the Polo a dynamic and stylish look. The rear wing does not only make the Polo look sportier but also grants increased down force on the rear axis.
Thanks to Abt Sportsline’s sport suspension springs, the new Polo is made even safer and sportier in particular. The progressive-operating springs lower its body by 35 millimetres. Thus, making the Polo look more vibrant and granting perfect road holding. However, the optimization of the driving dynamics is especially remarkable. The car responds far more sensitive to steering activities and is more agile in handling. At the same time the Abt springs reduce the vehicle’s side tilt, hence granting additional safety and sporting driving behaviour especially in fast corners or sudden shifts in direction.
In addition the VW Polo is optically upgraded by the elegant and sportive Abt light alloy wheels type Z. 17 inch is the largest available size of the one-piece aluminium wheel in the classical five-spoke design. The convex spokes give the wheel a powerful and dynamical look.
Abt Sportsline’s accessories for the new VW Polo do not only make the car safer but sportier in particular. Before long Abt Sportsline will be offering further products such as power upgrades and sporty accessories for the Polo.

Sorry, but that JE 9n3 kit looks crap. Its totaly destroys the original body shape, ever heard of less is more??? The JE Kit for the 9n looks crap as well, sorry if anyone has got one of these kits, but its like a max power type car kit, not my cup of tea!!! Much more into the PVW side of things! Go for the abt kit or the caractere, much nicer

Hmm, I quite like the JE Design one, it's aggressive!
The caractere one strikes a good balance, it looked great on the 9n also.
The ABT one is definitley lacking side skirts though!
