My Polo :D. - UPDATE 21-5-08 :) - Page 2 - Now Lowered :)

Post by Dave_6n2 »

Hey everyone.

I'm Dave, i'm 17 from Manchester, Drive a black 2002 Polo 6n2. (1.0mpi :oops: )

Anyway few pics of the car before lowering

Image

Image

Image

Image

How it used to be:

Image

Then i hit a curb in the wet and this happened (bent axle):

Image

Then i fixed that and this happened:

Image

Image

Someone tried to steal the wheels at college, luckily they wer only temporary.

The wheel buckled and bent the wing (still not fixed :lol: ), so then i was rolling on these for a while:

Image

Image

I had them lying around from when i bought the car.

I then bought my BBS's:

Image

Pics of them can be seen up there. ^^^^^^


Latest pictures:

Image

Image

Image

Image

And how i hope it to look when my coilovers finally arrive:

Image


Also just bought some leather VR6 Recaro's and an S3 rear bench, not sure if the S3 rear will fit yet, so if it doesnt look out for it in the for sale section. 8)

Mods so far:

Black FK angel eyes.
GTI Grille.
GTI Splitter.
Black/Red 16" BBS RX2's.
Debadged.
Redstrip round grill.
Black VW badges. (Painted myself)
Colourcoded.
ICE.
Coilovers (no pics yet).
I think thats it.

Subtle ftw!

Future plans for this summer:

Smoothed GTI tailgate with GTI spoiler (on the lookout for a tailgate now).
Recolourcode the bumpstrips as the front bumper one is peeling.
GTI foglights possibly, not sure if i like them.
16v engine/box when i have my one years no claims.
Ermmm, i think thats all im gonna do tbh.


Anyway, be nice its my first car. :lol:

Welcome to the forum mate, you've been through a few hideous alloys but now it's looking awesome! I can remember seeing similar alloys on eBay (same ones?).

When's it being slammed then?

Possibly dude, I was in Doncaster a couple of weeks back on a saturday, drove through Sheffield.

Also my on/off girlfriend goes to Leeds uni, so you may have seen me around leeds maybe?

Not sure, your car looks top in your sig though. 8)



On another note, my coilovers were from Hottuning on ebay, cancelled it now after 7 weeks of waiting, and ordered off Philj on thursday, hopefully they will be here by friday for Modified Nationals. :D
