9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)

[PollyGTI]

been on here for a while now but could never get my build thread to work... ill give it another go sure lol


bought this wee car in Glasgow in February and brought it across the water to its new home.
Car needed a good valet as previous owner only gave it the oul wash every other week, but thankfully they looked after it mechanically





over the summer car sat in the garage as i didnt have my license but got treated to a new set of sneaks lol
set of genuine BBS Montreal IIs.. i like the OEM look better btw




also managed to get my hands on a new head unit so that i was able to put a AUX lead into and much more, also got a Parrot hands free system fitted while i was at it




the biggest piece of progress is that i got my licence last week and now i can actually drive the car


so after 4 days of driving the car legally i got fed up with seeing it sitting sky high, so got a bargain on a set of lowering springs, only issue is that the boy didnt know what MM they were, he thought they were 35MM but i have my doubts... any ideas on what they could be? all i have to go by is the part number which is printed onto the springs themselves

yeah do any of you two know how to attach the pictures properly ? As I say I'm knew to all this and don't have a clue what I'm doing

yeah mate really a joy to drive, can't wait to get some cosmetic progress under way


Another thing to add to the list is got my self a powerful set of.speakers for.the parcel shelf, unfortuanetly I'm unable to fit a big ass sub as my job requires me to use.my.car and need all the space I can get to.carry the stuff

best website to upload photos to in order to link them to this thread?

[Eddie9n]

I always use photobucket. Just upload your pictures and copy and past the IMG code on to here and they work fine.

Few UPDATES... forgot i had this build thread









bought new tyres instead of running those monter truck tyres that were previously on it
Brand new yokohama S-Drives inflated with nitrogen 195/45/16












Car is now on coilovers as the springs got sold before they were fitted lol














Genuine 9N3 GTI skirts fitted




























new radio fitted... instead of the single din i upgraded to a JVC double din head unit








got a set of genuine mudflaps to fit the car but had to butcher the front ones in order to get them to fit over the GTI side skrits








new back bumper fitted along with new taillights as my previous bumper and lights were cracked



NB the car is now lower than shown in the pictures ! lol just thought id clear that up, but its not SLAMMED, just low but still driveable




car has also been dewiper'd but dont have any photos

Looks nice that does buddy, i'm a fan of the OEM look and it not being slammed to the floor

[Eddie9n]

Looks great..You've done a good job! I say it all the time on here but oem+ is definitely the way to go. Have you any more plans?

[C.Whelan]

That looks really good mate, I'm considering doing the same really, Montreal's look really good on Polo's! I bought some lowering springs a while back and just never found time to put them on! Done a good job!

[PollyGTI]

Thanks boys

Next plans are colour coding the bump strips and respraying the front bumper

[pwheels]

That does look pretty damn smart. How does the side skirts attach?

[wodder]

Just about to get some skirts
