UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

my mum has had an order for one of these now for six month 3door silver se tdi the first one was crashed at the docks in the new year and never made it to the dealers this one will land at the dealers early next week we hope got some plans for it wacth this space

just ordered parts for the mods to do soon as the car is here

full vw bodykit
18" alloys
set of lowering springs

hey,

out for interest, whats the retail price of the vw body kit? been interested in it since i got my polo but my dealer seems clueless about its existence.

Si.

1k fitted and painted but thats with discount

I'd be interested to know how much lower than the standard Polo the kit is.

I have the 'Sports Suspension' option with means stiffer springs and supposedly lowers the body by 15mm (just over half and inch). Frankly I don't see much difference to other Polos, though I have only seen 5 others!

All the publicity material and brochures seem to feature Polos with this lower suspension option - and of course with the 17" Boavista wheels. This is a bit of a cheat, but I guess all manufacturers do this. The bog standard is 14" wheels - but you won't see any publicity pics of those.

I went for 16" Cartagena wheels which take 215/45 tyres (for summer use). I figured that 17" and sports suspension would be too harsh - with 16" wheels it's near my kidneys' limit...

when with a 30mm eibach spring kit they are very well made springs which give a very good ride not harsh at all when parked next to a std polo its stits about 15.. lower think the 18" alloys help with the total ride hight

i know were you are coming from with publicity material and brochures total scam

here you go been a while got some pictures let me know what you think guys

nice rod !!!! looks nothing like the normal borin ones

Shi*! That is a nice motor! I love the VW kit, especially the front lip! The kit is well worth 1k! Well done!
