Transforming a 9N3 TDI to a 9N3 GTI (appearance)?

Post by MODDED9N »

Hi guys... Basically I'm upgrading my 2004 Polo to a 2007 Polo 1.4 TDi but in my view, the basic 9n3 looks pretty basic but I love the look of the 9n3 GTI but I don't know how to make my standard 9n3 look like a 9n3 GTI. I was wondering if anyone could help me to tell me what parts I need e.g. Body kits. It would be helpful as I would quite like to get on the case of transforming my Polo and don't want to mess irreversibly damage my car! Thanks...

GTI front grille, sideskirts, rear bumper skirt + backbox, rear spoiler.

Not sure if there's a front splitter, but someone else can answer that one.

yep ash's right. :lol: its fairly cheap to do even from stealers, you dont have to change the full bumpers jus the bottom plastic parts. the grill is a straight swap youd also need the black headlights as gtis have black ones not silver, side skirts and spoiler as suggested and a twin exit exhaust.

I'm looking to also do this to my 2006 1.4 Sport 100bhp. So far I've found the following:-


http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Polo-9N3-MK4-F ... 3503wt_944
(apparently you have to cut this to make it fit as the gti doesn't have a lower spoiler

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Polo-mk6-mk7-G ... _500wt_970
(a bit pricey tbh)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/vw-polo-9n3-gti-m ... _524wt_955
(lower grill looks nice)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VOLKSWAGEN-POLO-G ... _500wt_744
(still a bit pricey considering I'd have to paint it)

(these lower by 50mm!!)

the lip at the botom (your first link) is a seat cupra lip you can buy them from seat, but has nothing to do with a gti.

the side skirts are fine

grills are sort of fine, (youd need the red stripe one)

the rear part of the bumper in the last link is off the blue motion and not the gti, the gti has a big exhaust cut out on the left.

Those links are quite good. . .I might revisit these at some stage to make mine nice. Why the exclamations after "50mm!!!!" is 50mm bad?

I'm going to phone my insurer and ask them how much the premiums would go up if I added those parts. (probably too much :( )
