UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hello.
This is my first ever new VW. Its Polo SEL with 17 inch team dynamics wheels and lowered on the eibach 25/40 springs. The badges are off the back as well.
The only other mod is it will probably get a pressed number plate at some point in the future. oh and maybe paint the calipers. Does anyone else have rust on the wheel hub? Mine seems to have a bit but it should wire brush off when i do the calipers. Just thought this was a bit weird for a new car.

Get some pictures up

Ive got the SEL as well and got the exact same problem with the hubs

You mean where the wheel mounts to?? The hub face is not protected by any paint if anything i would of thought it would be Zinc pasivated.

I meant the break drum on the rear

Lovely car but not a fan of white rims, they look cheap Stick your Navarre's back on and get them powder coated black

looks great!

the white wheels are going to be a b!tch to keep clean though

You could paint the drum with hammerite but not Red or Blue Maybe Silver or Black.

Just a word of caution if you paint them dont paint the face of the drum where the wheel mounts.

nice car mate any side shots???

Quite a few people have used Hammerite (Smoothrite) in silver on the MKV and MKVI Golfs as it is a common issue. Black on a black car is acceptable, but white would probably be a little OTT and look dirty very quickly.

Them wheels would be better suited to a blue type r But i still think it looks well, good choice with the white polo though
