Sim's Dub-Polo Project
Hi guys,
I'm new to this forum & I have a navy blue Polo 6N2. Had it since Jan 2012 & still slowly working on it.
Things done so far:
- Lenso BSX 15" Alloys
- FK AK Street Coilovers (lowered around 62mm)
- Tinted Windows
- Front Gti Lip
- Gti Honeycombe Grille
- Vibe Slick Components with tweeters
FK AK Street Coilovers
After a good wash I fitted the honeycombe grille on & changed the number plates aswell. I bought some BBS centre cap stickers (from ebay), and glued them on with double sided tape & super glue
Got tints on the car & got the GTI front lip, heres how it looks now.....
This is with the lip on
Before getting tints....
After tints, light smoked at the front and dark smoked at the back.....

Re: Sim's Polo 6N2 (NEW USER)
I lowered it by 62mm, I've tested it and its not touching the tyres at all even over humps at 60mph, I might lower the front abit more.
The tyres are 15x7 all round, I was going to get 15x8 at the back.
FK coilovers are wicked mate and their a reasonable price too

Re: Sim's Polo 6N2 (NEW USER)
Yeh mate the ride feels good, don't deck it too much though otherwise it'll look silly. I was surprised that the ride was good, I thought it was going to be s*** too.DUB_Mcxxx wrote:Ahh tidy, cant wait to get all mine put on now, should be pretty similar height to yours.ghat4 wrote:I lowered it by 62mm, I've tested it and its not touching the tyres at all even over humps at 60mph, I might lower the front abit more.

Yea I wont be going too low, theres a really nasty bump outside my house so probably going to stick around the same height as yours.ghat4 wrote:Yeh mate the ride feels good, don't deck it too much though otherwise it'll look silly.
