UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just bought another 6n2 last week as im selling the TDI,

Basically just transferred everything from the TDI to the new polo.. Didnt take much pictures during the process , but most of the things ive done similar on the TDI thread

If you want to see the TDI thread you can do here: http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 13&t=38907


This is the polo when i first bought it. Pretty Standard!







Out comes the interior for dynamatting underneath and for sound system wiring








TDI vs MPI




Final Result






Will take more pics but due to bad weather i didnt get a chance, Maybe on the weekend if the weather is looking good

Next is Coilovers, Induction kit, remap and stainless steel manifold system..

Wheels corroded again as i didnt laquer them the first time so i refurbed them again. plus laquered them

Sell me your TDi for cheap!

Ha, looking nice man.
Any reason for the switch between the TDi and the MPi?

Yeah, same as above, why the swap. I went for an 8v as was prety good nick but would have a 16v or above any day. Wheel work looking good.

i bought the tdi because i was travelling to uni everyday, so needed the economy, but im moving out next year into campus so just need a petrol now to just drive local and home only on weekend. ive got a guy coming tommorow to see the car..

yeah agree on you there, shouldve went for a 16v after finding out that they are better once tweeked LOL... but this 8v was in great condition.

Yeah same here. Was after the exact colour and had good millage and int and 3 months warrenty.

What other plans ou got.

Lower and tints for now lol ill get more pics of the work done once weather clears up...

actually howard i could do with ur help .. I was thinking of paintin/spraying the brake calipers red.. Any idea wat to use for it?

I just used a brush and heat proof paint from halfords. Gotta redo mine soon as was bit of a rush job. Piece of cake really. Just make sure you clean them properly before you start. I think I did 3/4 coats in total. Not sure to change colour or not because of the drums. Love the red calipers though.

Need to lower mine, desperately but undecided what to do.

same here, was finkin 40 back 60 front, but im worried my splitter might hit the floor after drivin on speedbumps.. thats why i might go for coilies

I would go lower if it was me. Only by a tad more. My concerns are comfort/cost/girlfriend!

May get collies near end of year.

once you see how nicely it looks & rides with coilovers u will ignore the loss of comfort & cost. And well the girlfriend just has to get used to it, mine has lol. But if was to get springs, i would get 60m all way round/

yea was thinking 60 all around, but then again with coilies u have ur own preference, do u have to jack the car up when u are lowering with coilovers on?
