Mk3

Post by PoloPower »

You can do a fair bit .. Get the bumpers colour coded . Dont get 15" BBS cos ul be buying tyres every 3weeks ! lol ... Nah seriously its well gay .

Id stick with the standard shocks maybee some lil better ones from GSF ( German sweedish french car parts ) Springs .. There are such a huge range of em ... I have some super hard 1ns .. Meh .. Litele bumpy ride but my god does it stick to the road with 15" on .

You can get like a full interior from a GT for example for like £50-£70 from most VW Scrappys ..

Thgese cars are cheap to work on ...

Dont go for too big of a exhaust though ! They just seam to vibrate themselves off ... Spend a bit of cash on your exhaust or you will be in and out of the garage every 2 weeks .. Darn engines rock back and forth sooo much !

There lots of things that can be done quite easily

clear/tinted indicators
debadged/gtg40 spec grille
gt/g40 arches and sills
colour coding of boot grab handle
smaller mirrors
lowering
wheels (don't go any bigger than 14's)
gt/g40 black doorcards and interior
tidy exhaust
g40 brake upgrade


plus lots more individual touches

i'd love to see what scrapper you have been goin to, to find all these GT's! ive never seen one on a scrappers!

i get most of my parts from either, polo3.co.uk, clubpolo.co.uk or ebay!

there are bargains to be had mate, and the mk3 is very simple to style and looks great with very little effort!

GET ONE :lol:
