you can get a set of coilies for under £200 with raceland, not the most comfiest but it decks it and it handles well
well worth it to get your polo at a normal level of height :P lol

ive heard you can spray can matt black, and apparently thts one of the few colours tht turn out decent from a can job, but thts upto you and your technical skills ;) lol
sounds like good plans.

am buying my second polo, hopefully an open air version and im looking at wat ppl are doing these days lol :P
im thinking pure white, black roof, lowered to the floor (hopefully on air ride suspension) mk5 rears and FK crystal fronts, and obv smoothed to feck lol with the valver bumpers :) just cant wait to start this wee project :P

good luck james.

Did you really prefer the chrome grill?
I was never sure which i preferred.

Cut the bumper with an angle grinder! Well my dad did. Then picked up motorbike windscreen rim cover from halfords, and pushed it on around the cut edge, to cover the roughness and make it look a lot better!
