ok, wasn't sure which u meant. Didn't refurbed they myself (yet), previous owner only sanded the edges of the rims to grid2500, I'm planning to really polish it before the summer. The hearts are sprayed in a darkish grey Lupo colour, so it's all VW on my babies

Well, done quite a lot of work on the Polo this weekend.

Since I'm planning to 'tickle' the engine, I wanted to get some better braking power. I've got the old VWI system now (massive brake-discs) and wanted to go for the VWII system (vented brake discs), so I got myself a good pair of second-handed VWII brake callipers

Overhauled them last saturday, cleaned out the pod/cilinder:


New rubber closing ring inside the cilinder, lubricated with brakecilindrepaste:



And a new rubber dustcap between the cilinder and the piston (which I also cleaned thorouhgly and lubricated with the paste):


And now got myself a almost brandnew, perfectly working pair of braking callipers, width enough for the vented brake discs (just need to paint them red again):




Planning to get a new set of Zimmermann drilled (and of course vented) brake discs, and hopefully, if I've got enough cash) a pair of Ferodo DS2000 brake pads. Surely it will then brake like a virgin spottin' a red light district

Also got around to "improve" my doorspeakers yesterday. Since the original VW doorholders for the woofers of my componentset aren't that heavy (and therefor shake about with the woofers, which fucks up the soundquality) I made it heavier with what we Dutch call "bitumen", it's like lead which you can stick on and mold into any corner after you heated it up, superstuff!

Here's before:


And after:

Filled the speakerhole with special stuffing for speakers.

And covered it all up in the lead, making a sort of "roof" for any water coming into the door, so it can't reach the speaker and short-circuit it or something:





Haven't got pics of the front look, but that's also covered with the sticky lead ("bitumen"), made the speakerholder 6 times as heavy as it was that bastard won't be shacking that fast any more

Tested it, and even without the doorpanels on (didn't get around to do it) it already sounded a lot better, much better sound quality, no more little rattles on the bass

Slammed the BBS GTI's under the Polo last saturday, here are some pics i found on the net taken from the Polo on the VW Speed midwintermeeting last sunday (Hans from here, the crazy dutch bastard in the mintgreen 6N with widened steelies is a member of VW Speed):



Check out all the salt on the rear



And the front:




But definetely need some wideners with it.............

Standard 16V isn't it?

[polopowah]

looks to me like the standard 16v one with a mk5 6n2 GTI front splitter added on

[PhilGTi]

I agree...

Like this:

[paul007]

i like that, me thinks it could be the replacement for my battered one!

[JarnoVWPolo6N]

It's indeed an regular 16v bumper with a GTI lip underneath it, belongs to a mate of miine who lives almost next door
