I have had the same troube finding one! it was unreal! every one kept giving my the wrong bits and say "yeah, thats the one" . idiots .... :evil:

i had to go to a custom place in the end, cus i had the back box, and needed the center section. I dont know if you are anywhere near the midlands, but ...

I brought this car in November 2005, because of my ridiculas insurance quotes and the fact I hadnt passed my test (have now), it hasnt been driven yet. But this gave me chance to do some work on it.

When I brought it _ £550

So, I have another picture. Shame I have the battery on charge, but.....



I Have loads of Pictures of everything that I have done to it since I brought it.
When I get chance to upload them, I will start a new topic.

cheers x

Its great to see someone trying to be different with there choice of car. But, I wouldnt worry about making your money back. I am planing to keep mine until "she runs no more". Yeah, and £550 is propa dirt cheap for one in the condition it is in. I reckon if you can pick one up for under £700(ish ...

Yeah, I have seen a few Mk1's on ebay recently, they have been real nice ones, all went for around £1500(ish).
I had my heart set on a mk1, but couldnt find one anywhere, then there was about 4 or 5 on ebay at one time! :shock: There was one mint one, that i wanted, but it was 250miles away! So ...

I believe that, you cant have any tread outside the wheel arch. So slightly streched on tyres helps if you are right on the edge.......

Well, it has been lowered! i have only got one picture again,but i will post a load put soon. Man, the state of the shocks was laughable. They where "SHOCKING"! Yeah you like that one. check it

OK, i finally have put my wheels on....! Now it just needs lowering, as you can see from the Picture! I would have put more pictures on, but I ran out of space on my camera.

I have got my lowering kit, and I am lowering it later this week (hopefully). It needs to be on the road pretty soon though ...

Man Cheers, 70mm will be just right i think. Can you get them off there web site?

cheers

Sup' man, I am looking for a lowering kit aswell, I have a Mk1 Polo GLS, I am riding on some Starmags 13x7. I think i need an 80mm lowering kit.

Have you found one for yours?

Cheers x

My Wheels Came today! :D (those Starmags above)
I just tried them on, just to check the fitted. And they look wicked. But, now I need to lower my car!
Anyone know of anywhere where I can find a 80mm lower kit? I have found one on Ebay; £150 , but it only lowers it 60mm.

Can anyone help me ...

Cheers man, they were £400. Brand New Wheels and Tyres. I thought that was pretty good. I'll post some pics up when I put them on later this week.

Do Starmags fit straight on (mk1 polo)?
I hope they do, becuase I have brought some...
check it...

cheers man, it was a big help. I have been thinking about ATS Classics for a while, but, are they too common?
There is a reason why they are so common though. Its there ability to look wicked on any MK1.
I have found some Starmags, but I hadn't seen them on a mk1 until that picture and they look ...

I have a Mk1 Polo GLS . I is real cool. I need to get some new wheels for it because I only have the Factory Steels on it. I havent driven it yet because i have only just gone 18 and my insurance wouldnt let me pay monthly until I was 18 so.....

Please help me find some cool wheels. I want to Super ...
