UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Went to a tyre place down here to get 2 new fronts put on... got the Falken ziex 912s put on they seem pretty good still running the sport contact 2's on the back as there was s**t loads of tread...

really annoied about the fact they discovered my tracking rod is really badly bent/buckled clearly hense why my tyres on the front scrubbed tread so quickly.. i was complelty oblivious
so aswell as the new tyres i now have to pay another £138 for the part and the fitment of a new tracking rod... then get it all re-tracked

eugh not my lucky day

Got all my tracking and tyre drama sorted

Now discoverd my Front bushes are perishing, the part isnt too expensive but the garage wanted 4hour labour at 50quid an hour.. screw that haha luckily i have a mate who can lend a hand

On the positive have now got my wiring looms for my rear light conversion from K.I.T.T and i have also go the lights to fit aswell, roll on xmas then i can fit them


anyway... hope you have all seen the pictures im really looking into doing some more mods unfortunately still on a low budget but might splash the cash

what you guys recon ? cheers

Nah man, if i do anything will go as far as colour code the bump strips i wont smooth them off.

Buy my full Votex body kit!!!!!! £200?

Next on the list has got to be coilovers!

Detextured colour coded bumper strips can make quite a difference

Getting rid of the "polo" and "1.2" on the back will make the bootlid look cleaner

Yeah i really want to do that with teh bump strips and i was also planning on taking the 1.2 off might make it look less.... small :L haha
coilovers would be beaut hopefully i will get some all dependant on the price though :/ would love to drop it but have uni coming up this october is it worth it for the short time...

The snowy weather is fun for a while but is now causing hassle to drive -.-

hey mate, i'm looking to get a fin aerial myself, was it easy to fit once you remove the panelling from the interior ceiling? from reading the haynes manual it says the standard aerial is just bolted on from the inside, is this the case with the fin as well or is there anything else that needs to be done to secure it or connect it?

Came across an exhaust tip that actually fits onto teh standard curved exhuast that is on the car,
it is the first one i have seen that will actually work becuase most tips are just straight.

I have just fitted it and it looks really good for the money ! makes a small amount of grunt too ,

i really need to get some pictures up have debadged the 1.2 too

fitted some stickers too

I will try and get some pictures up soon !!!

Gets some pics up with the exhaust tip on

Thought i would have a little play around with some photoshop, this pic doesnt show any new mods i have done, i need to clean the car and take some pics etc but still this pricture is pretty sick ... enjoy

I have finally had my Footwell lights installed thankyou to alexperkins, they look great, apologies to the mess on the floor, just a quick snap as soon as they were installed, as i just said i will wash teh car and get some pics of recent mods including new rearlights, partly debadged the rear, the new exhasut tip, which is really annoying making the back of the car so sotty !!!! and some entertaining stickers etc
