Right seeing as iv caught the mod bug thought its best to start sharing some pics.

2010 model with 40k on the clock. As it started:

Image

Super shiney after a quick clean. Poorboys Black Hole and Megs Ultimate wax is amazing

Image

Image

Image

New Alloys

Image

Fitted front mudflaps. These are the short version. Not had chance to do rears yet. Hopefully keep the dirt off

Image

Next plans is the Gti front grill and thinking getting red VW centre cap stickers/ overlays. Also plan to swap all interior and number plate bulbs to LED. Iv got the Audi tailpipe trim fitted that i will try and get some pics up of. Also planning and swapping all my car cleaning stuff over to AutoBrite products ready for summer :D

Lovely colour, I had a Golf Plus that shade a few years ago. I have to say I think your original alloys go better with the dark blue, but whatever floats yer boat :)

The colour is amazing when its clean. Prefer the gti alloys personally and they are alot easier to clean and keep clean.

Dark blue is such a fantastic colour, such a shame more people don't go for it. Looks awesome.

Iv got a Megs DA but not used it on the polo yet. All that was achieved using Poorboys black hole with Megs ultimate wax ontop. Spent less than an hour cleaning it for that result

Used a Das6 pro on mine when I first bought it, still relatively swirl free :) How's the wax, need to invest in some decent wax, one I'm using at the moment lasts 2 weeks at best

Wax is pretty good to be fair. Just a weekly was brings it back up. Im looking into getting all autobrite stuff at the min as that looks impressive for costs. Will be getting a sample of Abyss and trying that next.

Just ordered a gti grill and 15mm spacers for rear wheels.

A few parts turned up for the Polo. Managed to get the spacers fitted just before getting a face full of snow. Rear mud flaps have also been fitted. Will get some pics of the mud flaps up once its lighter and less cold outside :lol:

I like what you've done to the GTi grill. Wish you could get one without the badge. Just honeycomb and no badge mount.

I would have mounted the letters to a plate and then glued that on the grill to hide the GTI Badge mount...
