Sorry for the late reply they are just metal pressed plates rather than plastic printed ones. They clean up both ends nicely,

For the rear maybe a gti spoiler
Led number plate lights
Carbon inserts for the rear badge debadge the polo and 1.4 if you haven't already ?

My brother had that done to his golf but he got pulled over and fined for having them on. Apparently the number plate scanner couldn't read them or some **** got fined £60!

GTi spoiler would look sick have to admit, that means getting a new bootlid though doesnt it? or can you buy the spoiler separate?

Already got carbon inserts but L.E.D number plate lights is something to look into it, you know any good places to get them from?

Yeah the plates from dubmeister are legal it's something to do with the registered postcode stamp at the bottom I've been pulled once showed
The copper the stamp got back in my car drove off and never had a problem since. But make sure you get english font ones and not german no matter how tempting it can be !. I bought my spoiler separate from a club polo user. So there obtainable just need to keep an eye out. The bulb you need is called a festoon bulb and you need two 42mm ones, ultraled's will set you right on that. Mine are cool White I think il get you a pic in a bit. Literally took me 2 mins to fit, you could also get a third for your interior ?. I have that too can get pics tonight when it's dark.

Pics as promised... .





It was raining so side shot isn't as fleas (meant to be clear, silly iphone corrective text) as could be bit shows how bright the bulls are.

Looks real nice mate, what was the make?

Cheers for the pics!

Looking at the ultra led site atm, what type of bulb did you go for? there are loads ha

There 42mm festoon bulbs in cool white... Don't get warm White you will hate it, all my LEDs come from ultraled's if you need links let me know and il turn the laptop on as I only really use this site on an iPhone

Update: 29/10/2011

Cars M.O.T. ran out today but didn't even realize! Managed to get the car booked in at Kwikfit straight away which was ideal, but then the car failed due to..

1. The front lights being too high and out of line...

2. The exhaust emissions being way too high..

So had to leave my car there until Monday when they can deliver a new catalytic converter and fit it.

All in all it's going to cost me £325! £30 for the M.O.T. and £295 for the catalytic converter and it being fitted too suppose it's not too bad but yeah that's another update which kinda sucks quite a big blow!

Update: 4/11/2011

Kwikfit some how found a problem which made me have to pay £60 more to add another part of the exhaust onto the bill... in the end it came to £389 a HUGE blow to my savings... then had it serviced last week and getting brakes and cambelt changed tomorrow morning because the cambelt is over due as it hasn't been changed for over 55,000 miles now so don't wanna risk it.

Don't know if else has experienced this when you visit kwikfit they always seem to find something else with the problem you have shown them.. it's happened to me twice now and not going there again!

The brakes are completely worn out and the weird thing was only the drivers side brake disc was changed recently and not the pads or the disc on the passenger side, very weird!

Not much is going to be happening anytime soon as a lot of my money has gone into this car now and I really need to start saving again..

The only real picture update I have is a new pollen filter I got today and took a few pictures of the before and after as I really wanted to show you guys it

Pollen filter came in zee post!





Old one!


New one!



That's about it guys! Speak to you lot soon!

That's pretty bad! Any brake setups should always be changed in axle pairs! Always! Also I tend to find this with garages like that, just find a nice decent independent garage seem to be so much better

True mate definitely going to stick to your advice on that one! Yeah really weird mate, I'l get picks up of the old ones to show you tomorrow or something..

UPDATE 11/12/2011

Been having quite a hard time recently but finally getting my savings back together! Looking into getting my roof coated in gloss black...

cheers
Jamie

Canny litle Polo you have there

The black roof would look class

Where did you get your black rear view mirror?

I would avoid Kwik Fit at all costs mate, very similar to ATS....
Come across really helpful on the TV adverts but in reality they hire the cheapest mechanics going

Both are extremely expensive and offer a very poor quality of service

Sorry for late reply!

Hi `Tiller' I got the carbon inserts from a user called `gregperkins' he is on UK-POLO and on Club Polo...

Got the stubby aerial from ebay mate and I got the radio out with the two radio keys that you slide into each side of the tape player and simply just pull it out. Easy enough

Cars come along nicely, like what you have done but never go kwikfit again ha, they will always squeeze money out of you always use a back ally Mot station, I always do!

I will he having a genuine gti spoiler up for grabs soon I think that will look nice when you have your roof done....
If you want that is ha!

Anymore plans like wheels etc?
