Polo 6R from South Africa

[Skyboard]

Hi Guys

As the subject states I am from SA and just recently got me a new Polo 6R (Christine). Hope to be getting some advice and ideas for the modding of her.




So far I have put in the OEM sill protectors, will take some pics later and update thread. I am having one issue though, Rims, cant seem to find something I like

Lookin nice another 5dr like mine is go for 17" rims as its a perfect fit just get looking, oz rims are well nice on a polo or can go for the common bbs everyone chooses? If you have abit more money to spend maybe go for some schmidt alloys? but Defo needs lowering

I too would like to fit some 17" inch alloys to mine.
Was thinking of a set of 17" OEM VW Evolo STP's:


Let me know what you guys think?

Ja man, saw your post while looking around for rims, how much did the springs set you back? I am thinking about some H&R's for her. I am liking the Exor STP 17".

The springs are R1700 from VW dealerships. The drop is only 30mm all round. So if you want a lower drop, then go with H&R

Installed Lamin-X over the weekend. Tint rear and blue on the head lights and fogs.

Installed some goodies this week:
RS3 Rep's
H&R Springs
H&R 8mm spacers on the back

[PogoCT]

With regards to your 8mm spacers - i hope you got extended wheel bolts?

I'm from CT bud - glad to see fellow countrymen on the forum
