now for the pics........ the front grill and indent in the bonnet im gonna respray and the boot is wat i did myself yesterday. and maybe today i'll do the b pillars black and poss the rear bumper bump strips. all the body work so far i have done myself........ infact everything that i have done to this car i have done apart from the exhaust. thats gonna change at a later date to.........

i like the front grill, but i'd get the bonnet properly smoothed!

Removing the rear badge was a good move, but i'm not keen on your tail lights, to be honest i think replacing them for anything but slightly smoked lights looks a bit tacky, the mk5 polo has very nice standard lights!

good luck with the modding

excuse all the dust, it needs a good clean but this is wat has been done to my car over the last 2 days.

the rear bump strips arnt done properly as i run out of daylight today so im gonna finish them next time i get a day of...........

first pic of my new coloured pillars............ gonna do the wing mirrors when i get the chance.





u can see bump strips are a boge job so will do them better at a later date....



and lastly the front grill has been repainted and the bonnet indent is done properly now..... now this is done so far i think it makes the car look much better.



as for my lights i do plan on changing them now, ive decided, gonna go for either black or dark tinted ones ont he rear and black angel eyes on the front.

can someone tell me what they think of the 2 different lights on the first post on here i did?

If I had to choose, the first ones. But as they're for a Mk4 you'd have to play with wiring on them.

But in all honesty, I couldn't justify spending the money when there's nothing wrong with the Mk5 rear lights in the first place in my mind.

i wanna go for dark lights now. im getting bored of the ones i have now they wont suit the new look my car is getting.

i need helping finding the colour of my car. hopefully someone here can help and the pictures will help u.





cheers

would be reflex silver if i'm not mistaken?

sounds good enough for me. cheers

you need to look in the boot next to the spare wheel, it could easily be satin silver...and there's a noticeable difference

i did look by the spare wheel but i couldnt see a sticker anywhere.

does this number mean anything to anyone as a reference for a paint?

VWZ1Z2Y7097986

i rang up my vw dealer and he said about a sticker in the service manual and that was the only thing i could see.

The paint code should look like or be:

reflex silver LA7W
satin silver LB7Z

see if you can find the reciept of the car, mine said it on that.

'VWZ1Z2Y7097986' is your chassis number

my chassis number is WVWZZZ6NZ1Y164709

well i think thats the chassis number thats the number that was on the dash board just inside the windscreen.

is the paint code in this? if not how do u get the paint code?
