UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Right, I've been watching the forums for the past few months and thought i'd join in myself.
I thought i would spend my summer wisely and spend my time working on a car ready for when i can drive in septemeber, still 16 right now
But heres the car as i bought it, a 3dr, 1L 6n2



The progress will be slow as im still in school, and moneys limited, but i will do as much as i possible can

Ive spent about 2 months doing things so far,

Things done:
New alloys
Full honeycomb grille set
Fog lights
Gti Spliter
stubby ariel
Gear knob and gaiter
Smoked side indicators
Number plate surronds
Debadged "polo"

I will upload some picture of what ive done so far later on in the week

Nice car mate and welcome to the forum

Its a great little car to begin driving with and you can make them look really cool with just a few simple styling modifications. Its never going to be anything quick but you sure can make them look good.

Check outs Greg Perkins build thread for some inspiration, he turned his 1.0L into a GTI lookalike.

Keep us all posted with your updates

Its getting there

Your Number plate surronds are they just stick on ?

Where did yOu get the fog lights from? Can they be fit to every polo? I have the same 1.0 as you and fancy buying some as well

Nope the plate holders are screwed on

and yes the foglights will fit your car, but you need several bits for it. you need, the foglights themselves, a new switch for them, the grills which they sit in, some bulbs, and some fixings and then they just plug straight in. i got my bits from ebay.

I just had my front bumper resprayed so dont really want to screw into it.

Haha off topic but some tw@t outside has drove into a metal sign

Veedubmachine for the fogs, switch and grills about £70.00 TPS for the screws and screw holders about £5.00 and any H7 Bulb.

i see, mine was already had already been screwed in when i got it, so i just used the same holes, but it could of been stuck on with pads

haha, there really are some silly people about, my next door nieghbours polo wouldnt start so i went and offered her some help, but she was really snoby and said she could do it herself, 10mins later she was round asking for help

sould of given her the number for AA or RAC lol

I sent a message to a guy on ebay selling the plate holders and he told me they could only be scewed on

she only needed a jump so it would of been a bit harsh to do that.

and im pretty sure you could use pads, it may require a few more pads then normal and some good strong ones, but im pretty sure it would hold it

awesome start dude,

that a GTR in the background ? never seen a red one looks very smart theres a bloke near where i live with a matt black one looks awful lol
