My 6n Project

Post by bikerboywill »

Well im new here and i've seen a few of these "project threads" on here so i thought i would start my own, bought my polo last week with 48k on the clock, its a 1.4cl and have some small touches i want to do to make it look how i want.
here is the car as it stands now:
Image
first thing im gonna do is just small things like:
remove the side bump strips
debadge the boot
touch up the small patch of rust on the rear left arch

then hopefully going to get some:
g60 steels
coilovers
16v bumpers
tinted lights
6n2 rear lights
de wiper
debadged grill
and we will see how it will go from there :D

heres a quick photoshop i did to show the lights and grill

EDIT: Anyone know how i can make the pictures smaller? :oops:

Kept your headlights white it looks better, are you going to get clear indicators as well ?

Where you de badged the back of your car I take it your gonna remove the marks that were left.

Yea, decided on keeping them white mabe getting a subtle tint on them and getting clear side indicators but not he front ones as I really dislike how they look.
And any tips on removing it? I've t cuted it and polished it a silly amount and it dosnt want to match in, gonna get my friend to properly polish my whole car so hopefully it might come out when he flats it

Yep that's the plan, and no really dislike them. I've seen a couple of them on green polo's and just think it makes the front end just look to plain and white

Think so, but they look even more hideous, looks like something of a hot wheels toy

I like the orange, think it has a nice contrast with the green, got some crystal side repeaters today but think I might keep the orange. If it was any other colour I would ge both white but I really like the orange and green

Finally some updates, just been collecting stuff over the last 6 months waiting for my insurance to renew now have got some lows on the go (well half low at the moment) and some recaros in. This week should be a busy one and hopefully by the end of it the polo will look very different :D

Firstly I put a set of Mk3 golf Recaro's in

and am now fitting coilovers, but only had time to do rears :p
