Is that a Golf GTi ED30 steeringwheel? Hard to fit? Please tell me! :P
One more; Where did you get the headrest's?


Ps: I freaking love your car! Most awesome Polo I've EVER seen! :):)
You have made it super-cool without overdoing it, if you know what I mean.

HI Joz,

Yeah that's right it's an edition 30 wheel.
Easy to fit one off one on using your original airbag too :D

Got the headrests off ebay. Just need to find the right deals at the right time. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the comments means alot to know people like what i have done.
I feel my Polo is not one of those "Should have been left alone" ones :P

Thanks for the comments GTipluc.

Hopefully i will get some of the pics up soon.

Nothing to major just glossy b pillars, shark fin and the brembos are now on and doing the job :mrgreen:

I am currently in the process of saving for a house so things are on hold at the mo with the GTI but need to get the interior done asap as i hate having seats that's don't match.

Thanks the pics make the finish look much better than they are.

I'm not happy with them so in time will take them off and have them powder coated professionally but for now they look ok and breaking is immense.

I am using everything off the seat Leon Cupra R
323mm discs
Brembo GT calipers (i believe they are called)

This is exactly the setup I'm keen on, but I'm worried that there won't be enough clearance with my OZ's. I used the ECS big brake kit templates and one from Brembo to try determine if they'll clear. :(

Look forward to seeing more photos. :D

Are these seats from the Vauxhall Corsa VXR?

And why do you put a Audi mark wheel on a VW car?

Nice touch on the Brembo..

Yes they are Corsa VXR seats.

They are my spare wheels so haven't bought any VW caps as yet. They are Audi TT wheels so came with Audi caps.
