found these on ebay, mite give u a good idea what painted trims look like... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/14-WHEEL-TRIMS-MI ... dZViewItem

right, well thats the last thing id want is to be classed as 'gay'

1) im not taking the trims off and looking like a hire car, because pressumably in order to get them polished, theyd have to come off?

2) buying alloys is not a consideration at the moment, seeing as i have 85p in my bank account ...

that helped lol

True though - might as well just run black steelies :D

yeh get em polished or if there real s**t paint over em.

also, i'll chuck this on the end of this topic, im considering lowering it on the steelies she's riding on now. and im thinking i might paint my wheel trims either Diamon Black (so they match the car) or a nice white, aslong as i keep them clean.

anyone ever done this? and what colour? white or ...

Hi,
i have a 1.2 (55) and whilst i love it, i wish i could get a little more power out of it (especially at 65+) does anyone know of custom remapping for 1.2 (and whether or not they would actually add any more power) or is there something else preferably not too expensive (i loved the idea of ...

totally depends on what style ur after, but more importantly, what wheels you have,

i have the original 14" steels and trims on mine, and lowering it 60mm would get the tyres in the arches. :lol:

Cost depends on what you want, springs alone are cheap, but will wear out the rest of your kit ...

I'd say its performance exhausts that'll put ur insurance up lol, induction kits dont really increase performance just make a quality noise from what iv heard. So get one on ur car, Iv just ordered mine!

How much does it cost for lowering? N what ride height wud be best?

errr on the small scale, im thinking black front and rear badges, bought from GSF, when i get my discount card through. :lol:

and then when i get a job lower 60mm on a new eibach kit, and leave my steelies on.

what bout you?

Just ordered a carbon fibre style grille n i wanna get it lowered ...

count me in. So now uv had dis 57i put in, u got any other plans for ur polo?

do you rag urs mc iver?

coz i rag mine constantly now, coz the novelty of the noise hasn't worn off yet.

got challenged to a drag race by a GTi Golf at some lights today, i think he thought i sounded like a GT!? :lol:

he wheel span off, i just pulled away normally, as if to say, im too good for ...

yeh man i bet,

story of my life - "why dont you do like tht golf?" "that golf is nice, yours isnt" "my golfs nice, your polos a cheap version of it, therefore your a bad person"

:evil:

thts too all the arrogant golf owners, we LIKE our polos, and im not ashamed!!!

Yeh true, Iv got a 1.2 ...

i dont think so, because either one is attached or the other.

unless you can get a two way pipe, which allows you to put the filter somehwere else in the bay, and still allowing you to attach the cover? but i don't think thts possible? :? but i don't really know

i think the ones that have the ...

err nahh, coz the engine cover has a built in air box, which attaches to the throttle body, but in place of this, the induction kit attaches to the throttle body, so thers no room for the engine cover.

still, makes it look a bit bigger under there :lol:

not so ashamed to pop the lid now

Im ...
