where can you buy it?

I bought it from a local hardware store, it's a Wurth Stone Guard Black just like this one http://www.autogeek.net/w890971.html

if you buy one make sure it is the aerosol one not the one that you need a gun to spray it with (that is of course if you dont have the equipment to spray with)

did you sand the wheels down first mate or just spray on and how much you reckon you need for 4 wheels?

nah mate, just cleaned them and sprayed cos the spray I used just sticks to anything. not sure how much I used cos I forgot! but I am assuming that 2-3 cans are enough

nice thats definitely getting done then

hehe still have got to do the other 3 wheels lazy me

long time no post here so I decided to throw some pics of some minor updates hehe

so ... black wheels, black tinted side lamps and a light black tint to the head lamps







tow hook hehe



redone the rear lights with proper tint spray ...


yellow sprayed air box...


and another sticker ( I think I was actually drunk when I placed the sticker cos I did it terribly slanting )

btw... was lately contemplating about selling my polo to buy at least a 1.4mpi as I heard that as the 1.0mpi is underpowered the 1.4 is more economical? is this true?? ( also some more power would never hurt hehe)

Looks Good Dude the yellow & black theme works perfectly

The 1.4 8v is almost as slow as the 1.0. If anything economy is better in what you already have. When I had my 1.0,I could easily get 400miles out a tank

so that would translate to 44mgp ehh alex ?!?! so whats wrong with my car...apart from my apparently bad driving habits :/

in my 1.4 8v i can easily get 400miles+ from a tank so i'm guessing they are both pretty similar

some minor changes lately =)

so the brakes had to be changed all around including the disks so I opted for ATE performance disks. I did the servicing myself and as it was the first time I am quite happy hehe. Photos of the work:




worn out disk:

I also loved the diy strut brace lowfoon bought, and seeing how easy it was to make I worked out one for myself this morning . I did it all myself apart from the welding as I don't have the skills nor the equipment ... loved how it worked out

materials needed:


working out the edges:




fitments trial:




after the welding I rounded the edges for a better look (though they are concealed hehe)


spraying it...


fitting it


end result

That looks ace matt finish looks factory

great job on the brakes to they look cool !!
