UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello, I'm new here and hope i've posted in the right bit. I'm Matt

right! well i've had my Polo since October last year as i was previously driving a MK2 Golf, which tragically set on fire with me in it!

So same day was feeling pretty bad and bought myself a Polo 6N2. It's only a 1.0, completely poverty spec, and only had 44,000 miles on it, tidy.



So i got cracking and bought some coilies and some Compomotive TH Monos (8"s all round and 195/45 et25)..



Took the 'Polo' badge off, sprayed my badges black and de-wipered. (Because I'm so original)!



My parents also bought me some private plates and got them pressed, which left it looking like this..





I also bought a 6K HID Kit with white LED sidelights...



Interior wise, it was pretty dull standard, it has the half grey / half black dash, and grey carpets, with grey seats with blue centres. Pretty dire, agreed!

I then bought some Alfa 147 Red leather interior to be put in, but as i am still a student time is limited and was too much ball ache to fit. I then sold them and purchased some Seat Ibiza Cupra interior which was literally straight fit. It works really well in my opinion as it seems subtle!? ish?





Some fairly recent pictures of how Vanilla Ice stands...









Rolling shots...





Last picture of the Polo on the Compomotives...



My car is now sat like this.. haha

Picking up new wheels on Saturday .. Update Saturday, perhaps.

Comments welcome, Cheers! Matt

Really Nice car mate, I like what you have done with it so far.

Sounds like some pretty nice changes coming up too. I love the rolling shots.

MONO Comps look awesome on the 6N2. Keep us all updated with the progress

Ben,

Mwahaha. I have spent far too much money today. Lol.

So i woke up at half 6, left at 7 with Old Man G, and got to Swindon for 8:15. Waited about 10 mins and the guys pulled up. Really sound guys, telling me about there huge Jap scene up in Milton Keynes, but i represented us guys and told him how it is. Uh.

As you may / may not know: OZ TURBOS 7.5" all round with 165/55/15 on the rear and new 165/50/15 on the front.

Anyways, got them home, and they were in need of a dire polish. (not po-lish, polish). AND 2 new tyres as the front two were literally bare, so went staright into town to get some 165/50's for the front two, and only found one set. I'm getting those back tomorrow, hopefully stretched and done. Expensive mind :/

So the guy gave me some insanely good Polisher...


And as you can see the dishes had some stains on them...


So i got to work, half done and half not done...


Mid clean...


These are the rear wheels, 7.5 running 165/55/15...


Finished product




So then i thought i'd quickly wack them both on one side of the car (these are meant to be both the rear wheels)



I was happy how the rear actually sat, quite flush and room to go lower, due to the stretch..



Although, (it may not seem it), but the fronts were tucking quite a bit, which i wasn't feeling.. so i bought some 15mm hubcentric spacers...


Which made it look a bit fatter and a lot better 'flushnous' if i want to go lower...



Soo mee hope you like them, any thoughts?

I'm CHuffed with a kapital CH.

Looks awesome mate! How much you spent on it so far if you dont mind me asking?

Got plans to do my 6n2 up when i next get paid haha Got a post a couple down from yours if you wanna see it as it is now. when you sprayed the badge did you sand of the chrome first? or just put it on top of the chrome?

Hi there buddy, cheers for the comments

Well i don't know exactly what i have spent but i have spent quite a bit on the car, i bought it for £2700, coilies £230, interior £250, wheels + spacers + tyres £900,headunit £150, speakers etc £100+ and private plates... so quite a bit..

I sanded down my badges then sprayed them! Only a quick jobby, but looks real good when you do it! Don't hold back!

looks awsome mate, think you should colour code the bump strips

alot of money has gone into it then

How would i go about sanding the badge then ? sorry about all the questions just wanna get it right lol

Cheers.

Pukka car so far mate. Love the rolling shots. Good work on the OZ's too. Keep it up

Also quite nice to see a white modded one.

Cheers for the comments guys, yeh it's slowly coming along, although i have now stained my passenger seat with coca cola I'll see you all on Sunday for the meet? I'm driving up from Taunton, so i hope to see you there, rain or shine!

So i have some new pictures that i took quickly yesterday... Still not over the moon with the ride height, needs to come down a whole load! But here's some pictures finally with the wheels on the car and new GTI Splitter.







Cheers!

Nice shots mate. I think the stance is perfect for the car.

alright mate, personally i like the current height of the car, it looks good. Also just wanted to know what I'm looking at on the bottom right of the front bumper?

loving the car like, good job pal

Oright mate, should get the Gti Grills and some foglights, a mate has done it on his and it looks sweet, also try pick up a gti spoiler off ebay or something finishes the car off nicely

nice input, but id keep the standerd grill like, nearly every polo has that honeycomb grille haha,
