UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Cheers from up Finland!
Great Forum you guys got here.

I Thought i`d show you my -91 Polo CL which i bought few weeks ago. It`s done 156500km ,1300cc injection,full service history and lots n`lots of documentation from previous owner (since it`s only got one older gentleman owner), No rust and everything works just fine,except it has some idling problem on cold engine but im working on it...

So i think it`s a good shell to improve a littlebit

I found those 15" rims from my garage, put some summertyres on them and painted those little suckers.Looks better on blacks as on a silvers?? Not really what i want but as a temporarily wheels suits just fine... Those silver 14" alloys on a second pic are wintertyres.
Also found that "retrolook" roofrack whitch was on collecting dust on some buy/sell market. As it was a bit "crappy" and rusty, painted that also (addicted to black spraypaint?).
Also bought that badgeless frontgrill and clear front+side repeaters.

And yes, i know it`s ridin` too high now... Get that sorted as soon as my new FK 60/40mm lowering springs arrive (hopefully this week).
I´m also replasing those 15`s to e30 bmw 7x14 et35 original alloys with 175 55 r14 tyres. Think it might need few spacers on those bmw alloys also...
But thats a hole new story as those alloys need some TLC before fitting them

headlight washers? were they on there as standard? nice car btw

Yeah... Headlight washers are standard. You guys don`t have those?? I´m thinking to get rid of those...

I've got a polo fox coupe and it doesn't come with headlight washers, I'm guessing it because yours is a different shape?

Got a good shine on the paintwork, not too low on the suspension, remember the dirt roads, driven a few of them, mosquitos, they had a good feed too!

Got it lowered... FK`s -40mm springs and in front i cutted a half springround? off (don`t know the right word for that).
