Looking good dude.Must agree numberplates fitted on the lower grill do look abit out of place,would look alot cleaner in the origional position.

Bet you're glad that exhaust is going would do my head in too,looks abit beefy.Dependant on how long you're going to have the polo for id upgrade the rear wiper or dewiper it.

the positioning thats the hardest part loving the smooth bumper cant wait for mine :D
Cheers mate :) yeah it does need to be moved, I like the look of it but its restricting the airflow which isnt a good thing

Not keen on the black or smoked indicators if i'm honest mate, they look alright if your running Angel eyes but I prefer the OEM Xenons, cant beat them really. I cant believe I never fitted a Black rear view mirror lol they look so much better.

I have always wanted to run the plate on the passenger side sun viser but the police around here are really hot on stuff like that, the crime level is really low in North Wales (apart from Rhyl) so the police havent got anything better to do other than issue speeding fines and lock down on young drivers.

I think i'll go for a Powerflow with a 200 cell sports cat :wink:

Yeah i'll be glad to get rid of that exhaust despite it sounding really nice and sporty.
Once I get the hidden exhaust I can lower it more all round to achieve a better stance, realistically i'm still going to have the car alteast another 5-6 months so I dont mind spending more money on if its beneficial for everyday driving.

I have got a feeling its going to be hard to let go of this car though :) always tempting to sell but when it actually comes down to selling its a completely different story haha

Looking awesome mate!

My only criticism would be that i personally think the plate should go back to OEM position with a bracket similar to what Tim used as it just looks funny in the grille, plus it does bugger all to help with airflow on the radiator!
I agree.

Ben - Are you interested in a custom full frontal car bra? I'm selling mine 8)

Looking clean Ben.

Will look better with the summer wheels. Also really like hidden exhausts on them.

Don't sell it :!:

Know what you mean dude,ive have considered it in the past too.Looked at S3's,Edition 30's but the Polo ticks most boxes for me especially running costs as i now pretty much have managed to save a deposit for a place.

Cheers Joe 8) yeah I got the splitter colour coded when I had my bumpers smoothed.
It needs the RXII's back on ASAP :wink:

Thanks Tim :D
Cheers for the offer on the full frontal bra but I think i'll give it a miss mate, I probably wont be attending any big shows with it going in the summer so I cant really justify owning one. I'm sure some of the lads would take happily buy it off you though

Its going to pretty hard to sell up mate but this time I think it has to go, I just crave something that little bit quicker which doesnt need so much TLC.
