James' 6n2 - Jap'crap wheels, Rig Shots, BLAHH
Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2011 12:53 am
Right, this may make no sense at all because im copying it over from another forum but here goes.
Polo 6n2 1.0 litre
Pretty much standard apart from the wheels and headunit.
So me and Dad picked it up beginning of October 2010, whilst it looked like this,
Then as i was pretty skint considering im only 16, I just went around finding little bits and bobs that i didnt like and set a task of changing.
1st was the horrific aerial, got a stumpy one off ebay for a couple quid,
After that i had to change the wheels. They werent in a very good state, especially the driver front. Corroded lip, and generally manky. So i picked up a set of standard steelies off another 6N2,
Had them sprayed white as i wasnt keen on them being black,
Got them fitted up,
Looking like a 4x4
Now whilst i was waiting for my Coilovers to be delivered, i had a random moment and sprayed the front badge matt black,
I liked it, so i stuck with it. And gave the engine bay a little clean aswell,
1.0 Power
Then the coilies arrived, only cheap ones, but they do the job
Which made it look 10x better. Still needs a bit tweeking, Front needs dropping quite a bit more. Rears should be fine as im planning on dropping a big twin 12" sub into it very soon.
So this is how its looking at this very moment in time,
Like i said up there ^ Somewhere. I am still 16, 17 in february so the mods are very limited at the moment. And will probably be only little updates from now on, apart from the ICE install soonish. Got a few plans up my sleeve such as spacers all around, or maybe even some G60 steels as the 13's arn't as nice as i hoped :thumbdown:
Thats all for now, any comments welcome
Cheers, James.
Alot happened between there^ and this point. Ended up with some BBS RX2's:
The got rid of them for something a little bit wider,
Rota Aleica 15x8 et0 all round.
Rocking 4x4 stance whilst i waited for my arches to get beaten by the hammer.
Then i took some man up pills and went on a sick one with a huge adjustable spanner, hammer, almost anything i could use to pull the arches as the arch roller wouldnt do it enough.
Heres the result,
Then went a little lower, and smashed the rear arches out some more (Ignore the dodgy filler
)
Chucked some more paint over the arches, seeing as i was having some rig shots done the same afternoon as it looked like that ^
Heres the outcome,
And had some statics done,
That is pretty much it, from november 2010 whilst i was still 16, right up til last week
Plans,
Smaller tyres at some point so i can get a bit lower
Leather interior
And hopefully a bigger engine once i've turned 18
Cheers guys
