Ok so after selling my 6n2 GTI in nov

and using my dads car over a long winter ive finally got my new motor.
Here it is i hope you all like, i did want a white 1 but there getting quite popular so i got this silver 1 which is nice as its the same color as my old 1. You will see that the front number plate is sumhow broke but i have my private plate being swaped soon. I have a couple more future plans so keep an eye out.
Already fitted i have the bluemotion front lip, painted in satin black to match the sills, the pik doesnt do it justice thow.
Then when i brought the car the tailgate was dented so i had the badge smoothed and i fitted a de-locked handle at the same time (off the later models).
Done.
Oh and finally i like this little touch, model brought from vw
Thanks for looking.

Looking good! Some nice little subtle touches!
Where did you get your Bluemotion front splitter from and how much?
I have a few future mods planned but thats only when funds allow and i definately know i'm keeping the car long enough to warrant expenditure on it!

the bluemotion splitter was from vw, think it was about £120, comes with an extra mount to fit underneath bumper, but please note it comes in grey primer, i painted it satin black.
Thanks

Ok today we have a couple more updates on my polo.
First up i got a bonnet bra, i dont really like it that much but il be using it on motorways to protect the paint a bit. Didnt spend to much time fitting it so it may look a bit bagy in places.
Next my paper work came through the post so i can transfer the number plates over, so the broke front plate goes

. Decided to fit my german style plates, lets see how long it takes before i get pulled lol.
Thats about it for today, just been for a drive in it and it drives so nice and the power is there if i need it. Very happy with it :-p

Welcome abroad, always a good start on the forum modding right away. Until now I think mine was the only silver one (which we all know is the fastest colour )

looks good mate, what's the difference with the bluemotion splitter? It's hard to see it in those pics - is it just a bit deeper?

Its slighty deeper along the whole lengh, and also the corners lip down each side, its a nice mod

it prob does make a different just doesnt show up well in those pics due to it being on a dark surface
if you painted it then it would look crap unless you painted the skirts and rear valance too, but i like the detail of the black contrasting with the main car colour
