UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well since im always on here asking about questions for my car i thought i'd give you the story since ive owned it considering its my first car


the car back in march when i first bought it with 43,000 miles and £2000 less in my bank balance(which isns't very big by the way)




then i started trying to smooth my own bumpers








then i got my In pro headlights all the way from germany


bumpers still not finished




then after finding out that method wouldn't work i had to dig out


than got my custom backbox




Then got my TSW Ascari high powered silver "apparently" only came out last friday




After a nice wash

and that is the life story of my polo it is booked in this friday for the smoothing off the bumpers so that will finally be done, next i'l probably look at gettin it lowered and tints and thats enough probably

any comments "constructive critism" or question welcome
many thanks
Anis

Props for trying to smooth the bumper yoursefl!! not an easy task, should look great when its done.

Definately in need of lowerage tho!

Not really a fan of the alloys but thats just my oppinion.

I like the de-rear wiper, nice work

Fair enough to be honest even i hated the alloys at the begining but now there really growing on me, only cost me £350 including all new nuts tyres, balancing and locking key and fitting, next is to get it lowered i been looking at coilovers and i can't really decide not looking to spend a large amount of money as to much has been spent on it already it wasn't up to scratch mechanical wise but you learn and know what to look out for next time buying a car but all in all i think it's a great car very nippy for a 1litre and not trying to brag but a lot better than a lot of the other cars out there.... 106's Saxo's Corsa's Nova's
Thanks
Anis

you can get decent budget coilies for £215 delivered

Interested but i will have to put it off for a week or two bumpers are costing me £250 but whats the name of them also are you using a set?
Anis

*edit* make that probably three weeks as i got my HID conversion kit coming soon

TA technix: Jackson Tuning from clubpolo.

I ahvnt got myself a set yet, but come April/May i will

Yer same hopefully my car will be finished by the summer i noticed you got tints on your windows, i can't tell whether you have anything on the front?
a lot of people have them around here and the general feeling i get is that if your not doing anything stupid and being really cocky with the police they won't really say anything about your tints
Anis

yeh I have a medium grade on the back 5 windows, and nothing on the front.

There is no way of tinting the front windows without them being illegal, for they come pre-tinted from the factory.

However a light grade on all windows does look really good, (and is something you can quite easily get away with).

if I had the chance again I'd probably go with that, it can look a little bit like a van at times like mine is now

hmm it's between illegal and legal plus ive only got 6 points on my licence so i don't really want to play with them, i might just leave the tints for now will defo need some lowerage as my car looks like it's on stilts also i was looking at getting central locking with an alarm , how much did your tints cost you
Anis

£110 for the rear 5, would;ve been £130 but I'd had previous work done with the guy before so he gave me a discount

iv got a two door polo 6n2 and was thinking about tints! i live in lampeter ceredigion, where were your tints done?? many thanks

I got mine done in a place in Newport South Wales, bout 2 hours away from you mate!

Got it back form the bodyshop like two days ago really happy with the work done and installed xenons now, i know it's nothing original just really happy with the car




many thanks
Anis

Looking really good mate,

What are your next plans?

Very nice, how much did it cost?

It may not be terribly original, but it looks bloody good.

You gonna get the rub strips done as well?
