Poor Polo lowered to the extreme

Post by Golemsmate »

Saw this polo on Police Interceptors and I can't believe anybody would do this to the car!

A) How do the front wheels turn?
B) The arch is sitting on the alloy! When someone gets in the back how does the bodywork not get all bent and scratched?

I think it looks stinking.

I like it too, love the wheels especially! Got some balls to be driving around like that lol.


Theres a set of bags on ebay at the moment selling for around £500 last i checked. Anyone who wants something similar should get themselves a bargain.

Just out of curiosity, what did the police say about his suspension setup? Was it the whole wheel poking out too much?

Looks good but it's not set-up properly.
You can see the damage to the arches where they've been hit the wheel. Unless dented bodywork is the look that's wanted?
A touch more camber on the wheels would sort that if it's possible. something like this might be a little too much though.

He got a court summons of the police. He doesn't drive it that low day to day, only when parked up for show, etc. I think it looks well though tbh.

It did show him drive off with it lowered touching the floor almost. I'm not surprised he got a ticket...he should've raised it before he moved off.

The police were tipped off that he was driving around with it on the lower setting, so they saw it parked up and waited for him to come back and drive off. On camera it appears he didn't raise it but I don't understand how he could steer!

When the lad was stopped he raised it, to make it more weird, his mum was in the car!
