Im pretty happy with what i've done, only things i probably will get at some point are a splitter, subtle tints and the gti foglights and mesh.

Not likin the rim lad.....love the back off it. Looks 100% for the rest off her. If you got new 15"s and lowered alot she would look stunning !!

Anyways each to their own lad ;)

i tried but it just came p with an error.

yeh the rims are a bit big, but i think you can get away with 17's(just!!!) if they are the right rim. i just don't like that style of wheel. The wolfrace mantis is it? needs huge breaks to make the wheels look decent. dont suit the polo too much like.

nice polo all in all tho. keep it up

looking nice - alloys are not my taste, and even with the drop i think it looks a bit moon buggy-esk (sorry, but just my opinion) i think that the rest f the work that you have done is great though. well done.

Aw yeh, thats a great mod. i'v been trying to source for ages, the fog lights, but they aint cheap. i need to go back to the breakers....i had the oppertunity to purchase a while back but stupidly said no. what was i thinkin!!!

Anyways, i disagree that polos ONLY look good euro. There was a lad on here with a red gti with white 5 spoke jap style wheels that looked great on it. it wasn't euro in anyway and was really nice. They were more of a chunky spoke like, but still looked great! i cant find the link. it may have been on clubpolo.

Good luck whatever you do! It's your car.

I think your car looks very nice mate... I especially like the rims.
How much did you pay for your springs and how much did you pay to get them fitted?

Cheers! :D

Springs were £126 i think and about £110 to get them fitted (with courtesy car while they were doin it :lol: ).

Was well worth it, car looks better, handles better, rubs less and the ride is much smoother. Drove 8 hours up to Scotland n they have settled a bit now too!...but not much!

its the little touches like the 'polo' sticker on the third brake light that differ from Max power cruddy paxos and festas......remember 'less is more' i'd personally leave the mesh!
