I've had i for a little more than 2 problemfree years (thank god, knock on wood and all that stuff
)I'll try to get it all up to speed with what I have done to it so far.
Here is a few shots of the car as I bought it in febuary 2009.
At this point it was sitting pretty much stock. Apart from the 17" AEZ Xilo's H&R 35 mm springs on stock shocks and the 3 rear windows tinted.
First thing I did to it was install a Pioneer AVIC-X1BT Navigation headunit with a flipout screen and a the dome light from the Passat W8.
Absolutely a brilliant domelight. The 2 red LED's a great at night.
Next up. Springtime of 2009 came and I had a set of 7,5x17" BBS Le Mans Replica's from my old Golf 3 lying around. So put a set of 195/40-17 Hankook S1 Evo's on them and fitted them to the Polo.
Not the worst look in the world if I say so myself (which I do
) But with the car that high and 17" wheels it's not really he best look for at Mk. V Polo.I the fitted Bosch aerotwin windshield wiperblades and an aerotwin reararm and blade from the new Scirocco in the back.
(also fixed the red I in the front and rear GTI badges. They were starting to look a bit tired)
Next up, I fitted 4300K Xenon in my fog lights. And a black German Army VW badge from a Golf Mk 4.
Wintertime 2009: Bought 14" Steelies with wintertires for the GTI from an old lady who never used them on her Mk. V Polo 1,4. She allmost never drove in the winter. Got them cheap and they were allmost like new.
Springtime 2010: Gave the enginebay a good ones over. Needed it badly
A bra found it's way on to the car aswell. And the BBS Le Mans Replica's made it back for a second season on the Polo.
Next up, I had to try the red edge on the grill. Loved it fron the second I put it on
And also the foglights got som goldtinted. And 6000K D2S bulbs in the headlights.
Went to Polo Club Denmark's annual International Meet that year with a friend who has the seventh Polo GTI to roll of the line.
And got 14th in the top 15 Show and shine competition.
From that point nothing much happened... Attended a few meets, enjoyed the rest of the summer and the car. then winter came and the steelies went back on of course.
Then this spring it was time for a bit of a stylechange...
I found a set of 7x16" BBS RX's from a guy who had them lying around for the last 6 years, and before that he only used them 2 seasons.
They still looked like new, so I bought them and then ordered 4 x 195/40-16 Hankook S1 Evo's for them. Had good experiences with those tyres from the BBS LM reps. Also a H&R Cup Kit 60/40 suspension and new brakes was ordered.
And now as it stands today with the new kit on
:
Please let me know what you guys think. I know it's not the biggest project compared to some of the other cars in here.
