Hello All,

I have just joined this splendid forum and many a time has this forum helped me out with my car...so yeah hoping to learn from all of you and hoping to maybe share some info to.
Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of a great forum :D

any comments appreciated 8)

My ride is a Polo 9n3 GTi, reflex silver (4door :cry: ) it's a pity that in SA the diesel is marketed as a 2 door but the gti is only 4 door.

Thus far only minimal engine mods (i'm not a dyno queen so i have NO idea what figures my car is pushing :lol: )
63mm full exhaust and downpipe,
phase 2 software from STO,
Forge Splitter valve,
OEM intake but enlarged snorkel and aftermarket panel filter

Cosmetic mods:
Laminex'd front and rear tails smoke black (however i am really tempted to do a blue tint)
fogs lights laminex'd yellow
colour coded skirts and rear valance
fabricated front lip also colour coded
TDI sportline rims
6000k HID kit
complete LED interior and exterior kit
40mm drop suspension with shortenend shocks
gloss black roof, rear view mirrors and b pillars
tow hook mod

Pics of my ride below (well the few i have) will update as soon as i have more in the memeber's gallery

:lol: :lol: :lol: the wheels are from the TDI 96kw sportline - they are very rare here in SA and i had to bascially sell my 1st born for this.
I wanted to keep the look as OEM as possible :D

Thanks Mr. Mod for moving it to the correct section :oops:

Hi The lip is DIY fabricated from fibre glass - it's basically similar to a votex lip :wink:

Bugger does fibre glass make you itch :evil:

worth little 2nd hand, although vwsa quotes 3.5k a wheel. :shock: .. Besides compared to the oem gti wheels me thinks these are waaaay more appealing... However the oem rim called GOAL is even more hotter bu very rare. :cry:
