These polos look horendous lowered due to the long front end and straight sides. I really would put it back to normal if you are lowering for it to look sporty or better, well it doesnt, sure most cars do but not this one. The scale looks completely out of proportion the front is too long and large especially with the large lights, it makes the wheels look tiny.
Like i said in another topic, please change it back to normal height you have totally spoilt the look of the entire car, it looks squashed and the wheels look minute.
Im only a designer though and Im sure with your creative knowledge you all know best....
*sigh*

I disagree, the lower the car the better imo.

Well thats your opinion but the fact you have said the lower the better means you arent actually looking at the car, sorry.
How can you say the lower the better on any car? How does that work exactly? What about the actual shape and design of the car?
I cant believe you are saying the lower the better for looks because it doesnt make any sense if you arent taking how the car looks to start with into consideration and completely proves my point that most of you here arent even looking at the car and if it looks better, you just THINK it does because its lower!
Its quite insane! Look at the car and how out of proportion lowering this model is due to the shape, it makes the wheels look tiny and the front look huge!
I disagree, the lower the car the better imo.
That statement proves you are fundementally wrong even though its an opinion, you arent LOOKING at the car, youre just thinking the lower the better and not even using your eyes if youre saying any car looks better lowered. Its just not physically true, there are design rules, ideas and factual based entities which make things look good, which make you even like the shape of the polo. Yet you are disregarding these and just thinking lower it better!
Anyyyyway I wont change your opinion im sure.

Yeh I apologise for that statement, it was a little broad.
In all honesty though, I said it because I couldn't be bothered to give my full oppinion, for I didn't think you were worth the argument.
Your right your 'just a designer', so stop asking people to alter the height of they're own cars.

Anyway back to normal polo chat! lol
Yeah its good stuff mate, Seems a lot better than Auto Glym and Meguiers wax. Is very hard to rub off, takes alot of time i found, so make sure u have a strong arm!
Next week am goin to Wash n Dry, Clay, Wash n Dry, Auto Glym Polish, then Collinite Wax it and see how it looks! Good I hope!!

yea more people should follow my approach of if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything at all
collinite is a good wax for people who want a reasonably good shine that is very durable/long lasting

looks stunning kenny
rubbing hard it what causes marring and swirls as when your buffing off, the polish powderises like grit, and rubbing hard grinds this against the paint,
try spraying the pannel over with quick detailer before rubbing the polish off, this should make removal easier and give better results with less if any swirls
