UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

The engine I've seen is an AGU with a KO3s turbo on it and various other little nuggets of goodness! I'm a mechanic for Mazda so the swap won't be a problem it's the fab work that'll be the problem! Lol

Anyone on here done a 20vt conversion to the GTI? have seen a damaged mk3 Ibiza cupra up for £1200 on Edition and it got me thinking about it.....thoughts?

Cheers, thinking of going gloss black on the centre console and side vents!

Couple of little updates.... Shaved the door pins down so they sit flush http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr103/steviedubs/7a273e95.jpg Carbon wrapped climate surround http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr103/steviedubs/2a058195.jpg BBS centre caps http://i474.photobucket.com/albums/rr103/steviedu...

Are you on coilovers? If so it could be the main spring and and helper spring knocking coz mine just started doing it and that's what ive narrowed it down to, could also be strut top bearing....

Got mine from a polo GTI that was being broken near me, I payed £50 for a full set but I've seen people asking £100 for em on club polo! Definitely worth doing tho as it just feels more GTI-ey! Lol

A quick couple of pics of before and after I did a real quick refurb on the wheels when I first got the car!

Ah right I see, I always thought it was coz it was an early GTI coz when I went to get a key coded by a mate who works at vw he couldn't get it to code straight away so the registered tech came over To help and said "bloody ell this is an early one" coz of the badges! Ah well there's me th...

I'm sure there original to the vehicle coz the front and rear ones are exactly the same...
Anyhooo theyre a break from the norm I spose!

Just bought myself a .99 relay to do programmable wipers, so I'll fit that tomorrow after I retrieve from ze post office!

I'm not sure how much it's lowered by I just trial and errored it till it sat right.

Ahh I see, mine had front and rear all red GTI badges!
I've not seen many with the all red badges, I've heard some of the early GTI's didn't have climatronic either but mine has.

Little new bit......




Bullet aerial i had in my toolbox and new aerial base seal as old one had perished!

The headlining was quite cheap to do, onlycost £15 for material and £5 for spray adhesive!
Got the seat belts for the bargain price of £50 aswell!

Got these which I was gonna polish up myself but only got so far before I got bored!

Thanks for the comments guys!

Them pics were only after a quick jet wash, Ive still to clay it and do a proper wash and polish.

I'm in bradford Dom_

Cheers, are they? What makes em rare?

Yeah the black headlining makes the interior a 100x better, like the GTI should of been! It's a fair bit of work with the retrimming and spraying the plastics and door seals black but it's well worth it!
