Hello ppl,
Ive bin on here for quite a while now and thought it was about time i posted up some pics of my polo's journey so far.
so here we go.........

This is how she was when i bought her just over a year ago, totally standard
Image

1st few mods were, clear indicators, clear side repeaters, induction kit, lexus rear lights and removal of bump strips which was a total nightmare, lol
Image
Image
Image
Image

A few week later after id saved up some cash i got the windows tinted and put an Alpine decal over my sunstrip as i thought it looked abit bare
Image
Image

after joining a few vw forums i began to see alot of polo's with the 16v bumpers and thought that they looked much better than the 8v ones, so purchased myself one along with a de-badged front grill
Image
I then decided that the lexus lights were way too chav for me and rather than buy the mk5 rears i thought id try tinting my original rears to see what it looked like, and i was happy with the result
Image

A few more weeks past and more money saved, i needed some coilovers badly, she needed to be slammed as i was sick of driving round in a roller skate, lol

After

Much Better 8)

Then came the wheel change, the ones that came with the car had served their purpose and id managed to gather funds to buy my lenso bsx 15x7 wrapped in 195/45/15 falken tyres,
Before

After
Image
Image

Then i got bullied by everyone sayin that i should get rid of the Alpine decal cos it was chav and shouting out to pikey thieves that i wanted my car breaking in to, :( lol
so i had a poll and i gave in to the majority and the decal was removed
Before:

After:
Image
Image

Wasnt working at the weekend so decide to de-wiper the rear and spray my badge black
Before:
Image
After:
Image

Then my german style pressed plates arrived
Image
Image

Then i decided i wanted some different wheels after only having my lenso's for a month and 3 weeks when the wheels that ive wanted ever since i saw them on a polo came up for grabs at a price i just couldn't refuse, here are a few pics 8)

Im nackerd now after posting all that, lol
Hope you all enjoy, all comments welcome and advice on what i should do next, other than wind coilies down a bit more as that should hopefully be happening at the weekend :D

needs a rear bumper for one my friend. Carrs looking nice though. Only thing i dont like is the exhaust, sticks out a bit much. 16v rear bumper would help a little with that one, but not a great deal. Just needs movng back an nch or two i thnk and it will look mint.

What ever happened to your second set of wheels? I love those wheels think theyre mint. If i wasnt a poor bastard id try and buy them off you lol. Car is looking nice though dude well done 8)

Cheers for comments dude,
I do desperately need a 16v rear bumber and am in process of saving up for one, think im gona go for a hidden exhaust tucked up behind bumper and also get rid of boot handle and possibly rear badge, one of the mates did a little photoshop of what i would possibly look like, so this maybe my next mod:

What you think??

yeh looks better then it does now to be honest!

Though what exhaust would you get f you go down the hidden tailppe route? You couldnt keep that one thats for sure, unless you like... turned it upside down and took it right back underneathe the car... would take some welding but it could work... hmmm ideas.....

Not sure bout back box, the one ive got on is quite big and i wouldn't be able to move it further back, so im not sure what to go for.
I know i will have to, but dont really want to get rid of my current box as i really like my current sound :cry: lol
I want to go lower at some stage so would definatly need a thinner backbox, if you or anyone has got any ideas what i should go for and what will sound nice that would be awesome :)

Loookin awesome on the Cups. Good choice :P You can drop 120 on the front if needed. and you can prob get 100 on the rear but they sidewalls will rub. Get the arches sorted and you can go 120 all the way around.

Nice update! I'll have to catch up with you at another meet.

Rob.

The first link, theres a guy with a set for sale on club polo £600ish.

I like the Image Billet 4's!

Know if the prices on the site are per wheel or for a set?
