Hey Guys,

Just joined up, been a member of the bebo band for a while but only got round to signing up now.

Have a 6n2 Polo and a Vento, use clubpolo alot and though i'd come check it out over here.

My wee polo is going through a bit of a transformation at the min, have attached some pics below, all opinions welcome, good or bad! :) ... Pics all like 1 week old, the whole car is in primer at the min, so will get pics up soon of it painted!

Image
I work for the UK and Ireland Importer for Dietrich and they gave me this bumper on the conditions I gave them pics for thier catalogue :D

Image
This is my standard bumper with the side grilles smoothed off and the bump strips off, we also smoothed a 9n votex front splitter onto it and added a bad boy bonnet extension! .... This photo was take before the bumper was smoothed, its no where near as rough as this now :D

Image
As you can see we smoothed off the bootlid, also removed the bump strips and added a 9n votex rear splitter with a slight bit cut out :D

Anyway, gimme your opinions :D

@Arnoldo: i am a member of jon44w but dont really use cruise sites anymore, i used to co-run maxedni but we got a bit bored of the scene to be honest!

@stani540: the bumper uses all of the original grilles from a mk7 GTI polo, VW are tryin to stroke me £200 plus VAT for them all :(

@DanDiesel: Vento is lowered with 60mm Poison Elf springs, but it actually went down about 70, lol .... Got a GTI 8v going into her at the min too :)
