Alright people,
Been here ages and realised my cars been through some changes as some of you guys may already know but its getting confusing lol (still have the old sig)
Anyway, switched rims around 6 months ago and never polished em to the point they're going grey. However, I've finally given them the once over and hope to carry on! Thought i'd take a few pics seeing as it was parked besides another standard Polo, one of the many on my street alone lol. Think i've left them too though and ones been kerbed like crazy
Spot the difference
Also managed to get an alarm finally and the insurance with HIC for a good price. Got no cash and getting bored with it but hope to get the usual engine mods done ie manifold, de cat, backbox, chip etc rear LED clusters going back on after tinting em.

Thanks fella's, they're one-piece Zenders although i'm not sure which model. the centre was painted black though, think I should do the same with the centre
Funnily Tim I was gonna get polished TH-Monos but they ran out so went for these after trawling the forums. got these thanks to Joe who's also on ere.

Took me months to decide and when finally called Dubmeister; they said they've already startign to get new moulds done in Germany so i'd have to wait. They don't do em polished anymore. Should look a treat diamond cut, my old castellets were cut; mirror polish finish after some elbow grease!

Actually I don't have one. got the standard one and the common metal one but never use it so rather leave it off. Furthermore, i'm from East London and some chavs bound to tief it off the car if I put a good one on!

Thanks Joe,
Only planning to do the usual engine mods to keep insurance down

Haven't really got anything inside apart from speaker upgrades and a dvd player for sounds. Internal mods that came with it are gearnob and door pins! I ain't touched anything inside lol.
Hopefully nothing bad happens to drive insurance down as thats why I practically did nothing for a whole year apart from the rims. After repairing the front bumper i'll look into the interior.
