Looks great and black polo's can look really mean!
All you need at the front is a black badged grille and get the splitter back to black!
What you intending with the back then?

We'll see, porves hard running riot in a lowerd car, you spend most of youe time going slow or driving around bumps.
Then parts of the 6n start to make noises inside, lol. As mine has started too. Looking forward to seeing the plans completed.

Diagnostic's don't pick eveything up. Only electrical faults, and the odd mechanic fault which normally is sensor assisted. Poor Fuel pumps come up as a MAF Sensor, point made. The fault code on my car equals four things. Fuel Pump, MAF sensor, MAP sensor and injectors. Depends on how much dollor you have and how cheap you can get parts its not bad, but it comes down to a elimination point. Generlly start with the cheapest. Which i'm doing. Plus my best bet is the fuel pump, seeing how it wines.
I prefer older vehicles to new as their more mechanic based. Electric's arn't eveything.
