My First Car [POLO 6R 1.2 Match Ed] - MODs IDEAS?

Post by winglun8 »

Hi,

I bought my VW Polo 1.2 Match Edition (Shadow Blue) in June 2016. Since then I've made a few "cheap" modifications, but I'm stuck on the next step which involves improving the handling of my car.

I'm undecided whether to get either "Whiteline ARB Rear" or "Eibach Pro Lowering Springs"?
Any other modifications would be much appreciated! :)

So far, these are the mods I've done:

RNS-315 Sat Nav
HID Lights 6000k (35W)
white Interior Lighting
Lamin X Tail Light [Tint]
Reg Plate Lights
Chrome Strip Front Bumper
Yellow Fog Lights

Very nice car color. I really like the Shadow Blue :mrgreen:

It seems to me that the best option would be if you check other topics of the forum looking for inspiration for the new modifications ;)

Welcome winglun8. Nice 6R (nice picture) I'm a fan of that engine. 60 or 70 HP?
As CNK says, I hope you find some inspiration in the forum for your new improvements. :wink:

Should have got TSI instead ha!

How about a photo showing the taillight tint :wink: Is it a pre-cut plastic film specific to the Polo?

Here's a photo of the back. Had to ship it over from America, it was only universal and had to cut it out myself unfortunately, but outcome was worth it :)
