Scott's Gti Polo

[scotty733]

Going to move my thread into this section..

So here is how it started!!

After months of looking for a white gti polo i finally found this one situated in North Wales! So i set off from N.Ireland on Thursday to pick this one up!!

Its a 2006 model with only 29k on the clocks, its a real credit to the previous owner!!

My plans in the near future are;

Coilovers
Milltek exhaust
Carbon fibre bits
Dump valve...

Here is a few pictures;















These arrived yesterday;



I also de-wipered the boot and fitted mud flaps..

I sourced a brand new set of AP coilovers at decent money, so lifted them on thursday and had them in Friday night!

I put my red Gti badges on and put lamin-x on the fog lightd to tie in with the head lights, heres a few pictures...









My Gti footrest came today, it finishes the interior off!

I put some red tape behind the GTI for a wee touch, i didnt manage to get a picture of it in place..



The final result..



I had my Lenso wheels sitting about doing nothing so i put them on too see what they looked and sat like!

I think they need some colour

few more goodies have arrived!

Honeycomb grills..



6R polo gti light switch..




Well i finally got all the parts i was waiting on, and wasted no time on getting them fitted last night

They are 996 rear calipers with 312mm discs and 232mm rears..

They look and feel outstanding

coments welcome..

















I have bought a new Samco TIP hose, need to get this fitted during the week!

I also have a Milltek exhaust hidden in the garage that i must fit!

And i think i may have found a set of wheels

We tried the Montreal's off my old polo on, and i'm well happy with the out come...












So these arrived today =)

They are 3 piece Image billet 61's in 16"

Widths of 8" and 9"

Cant wait too get them on now..





Just a picture of them all together



So today i managed too get tyres on the front two wheels. I'm going to have to buy 205's now for the rears as we couldnt get the 195's to stretch!

Hopefully should have tyres on the rear wheels by tuesday! Here is some pictures with the 8's on..








Got the wheels back on tonight, and im happy enough with how it sits!

Just a quick snap, more to follow



Well a big update..

Got the rear wheel fixed with its leaky tyre.



A picture of the Cat back Milltek, just the downpipe to buy to complete it and then it will be put on!



And got the car re-mapped by Revo to Dtage one.. Such a transformation, a total different car to drive! A big thank you to Steven at Performance 360!!

Going to do more work to the engine now..

Well the downpipe arrived today, thanks to Steven at Performance360!

Hopefully get the exhaust on this week, and a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator. Then its ready for stage2 ..



Just a teaser!!




Gonna throw a few pictures up for last weeks Titanic Dubs.. Gonna make some changes over winter for next years show season













Well i went up to my mate ian's for him to put my wheels on his car, just too see how they sat with air ride! Here's a few snaps!!

Top work man, car looks stunning. Best colour for the GTI in my opinion and those wheels are the bomb.

Good man.

Looking forward to seeing some pics

[shawnged]

Very nice car mate! Im curious as to how you fitted front mud guards since the sill/moulding is kinda restricting this? Any Help? And also where did you buy the brakes from?

[candypolo12]

Best colour for defo I have the same but mines 07! Is it still a stage one? Did you get a little more power having the miltek on?

[scotty733]

Well i finally got hold of my seats after a little hick up!

But i will let the pics do the talking
