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
