or the empty walleted, haha ... but it does look awesome, right ? .... makes for such a hefty stance
i got quoted 800 pounds for :
.debadged front and rear
.filling in bonnet recess where badge has gone
.rolling a plastic inners removed of the arches
.number plate recess removed
.locks, handles removed and smoothed
.bump strips, sides rear and front removed, and smoothed
.and arches pulled to get a bit of faring

what du u reckon, then problyabout 1400 ish for a blow over in silver, and roof redone in back - 2200 for whole lot oh yeah and 200 fitted for solenoids for all three doors, what du reckon ?

Id leave the handles.. or put smooth audi ones on. Getting rid of them completely is a little 'chav' IMO

Rest sounds good tho!

huh ? no wayyyy :0 surely not, that looks realy good in my opinion, that norweigan one has it done that and it look awesome, if i were a chav, id put chrome handles on, with the decals "rude polo" on ... duh, lol

Granted the one in the pic looks good, but I think there is a point when you can go too smooth!! Just my taste tho of course!

Get some pics up asap if you go for the phat wheels!

I'd have to agree with Tim there, everything but the handles sounds good in my oppinion!!

The silver I posted has shaved the passenger side, an Audi A6 on the driver side. Its LHD.

Yeh the Audi handles are nice, I would've stuck one on both sides though, really tidy car that is!

hello, andy here, that silver polo 9n, do you have a full spec, ie, wheels, coilovers brand, how much its lowered by, write back soon pleaseeeeeeee ... ive also pm'd u thats how desperate i am, this is like exacly how i want mine, bar a black roof, lol

The wheels and tyre sizes - 9x16 with 215/35-16 on the front, and 9,5x16 with 215/40 on the rears.

Dunno what wheels they are but someone will definitely be able to tell you what they are.

I'm no pro when it comes to predicting ride heights for 9Ns, but your probably looking at around 100mm down on the coilovers?

With that stance I'd expect you need the arches rolled and plastic inners removed.

Hope this helps

o right, what coilover would give me that much lowering potential tho, do you know ? thanks for the replys btw

They are 3pc split schmidt modern line's and to get coilies that low id imagine hes removed the rear adjuster plates and or the rear spring seats and probably removed the helper springs from his fronts (ie making it drive like a sack of poo!)

That or its on air

My FKs would go that low on the front (mine are only 2/3 way down ATM) and prob that low on the back too. Hard to judge as I m running 17's, but it would prob be very similar.

It's not on air. KW variant 1, all the way down.



Old pic from 2004 with just coils.



Pic from 2005 with TT-parabol and some mods done.



2006 look, with more mods, and paintet TT's







2007 look you have all seen.

2008 I dont know yet.

Nice to se people keeping their car for many years, and making them better and better for each year. Oh, and its a all year daily driver.

Car looks great mate
