Re: Ross' GTI
Thanks guys for the comment.
unfortunately i didnt take any photos of the false floor Daz but its pretty simple just used mdf cut to the shape of the boot floor with a wooden structure around the edge of this to give myself enough room between the false floor and the boot to fit my sub amp etc, hope that helps.
new images/updates to come

Re: Ross' GTI
So as promised some updates as i left it from my last real update my polo required abit of front end tlc. luckily tesco were willing to pay up for the damage so off it went to Ross Packard a company who specialise in high end bodywork mainly maserati's and ferrari's.
it was away for a week so got a courtesy car once again thanks to tesco a lovely little kia cee'd. And i couldnt resist modifying it.
so anyway a week passed and i got re united with my pride and joy looking nice and fresh, i also got them to fit my new side repeaters while they were at it due to someone attempting to steal the old ones and breaking the clips.
i then gave it a good clean and polish to see how good a job they really did and hear are the results, apologies for the quality of these images due to phone camera.
its fair to say im very happy with the results!

Re: Ross' GTI
Looks good mate, glad to see it got sorted
Re: Ross' GTI
I got myself a new mascott too.
then got it ready and protected ahead of the players show, poor quality pic but you get the idea.
i then treated it to a little more performance and purchased this from a fellow forum member
Raceland 4-2-1 ss manifold with de cat and stainless system.
fitted it with a couple of mates at there garage.
i can definately feel the extra pull and its abit louder !
couldnt get on the ramp and got stuck while trying to get off ended up on the pit instead.
also go a cheeky teasing pic of a friends beastly rs4
from this my most recent purchase and one im very happy with and cant wait to get fitted!!
bullet wheels!! due to salt and winter they are currently sitting under my bed
but still couldnt resist a trial fit.
fronts 15x7 et20
Rears 15x8 et20
and cheers Endi_gti im very glad that it got sorted!

Re: Ross' GTI
I have S3 recaros in mine. Fitting the rears is an arse! Mine are mounted on the polo backs, there are areas on the backs where the fabric/leather doesn't fit properly but most of the time this is in unoticable areas such as underneath. The plastic trim where the release lever sits doesn't fit so you'll need to get that area re-trimmed for it look as neat as possible.
The actual benches do go in with a bit of jiggery pokery.
