It's just tape applied to the OEM grill.

Or you could paint it.

Or do it properly and get classic car beading and use that

Just another picture we took the other day, loving her now, not doing anything else I dont think...

Well, maybe little bits like central locking on remote key fob and bulb upgrades.

New Shoes...

Well, the time had come to get some new wheel's for Susie. :) The Polo GTi wheel's wern't doing her any justice so these babies arrived today... :) Ive gone for a little bit of stretch, to advoid any potential rubbing. The wheels are 17x8 and the tyres are 205/40/17. So so happy with her now, perfect for me as a daily, the front votex splitter will be smashed off if I get coilovers and go lower, so will probably be staying like this, and maybe coilovers and colour coded centres for next summer? Who knows? Comments please!!!

Good build dude, liking the new wheels alot! much better than the gti ones bit to chunky in my opinion but the new wheels are sick looking! whats next then, i think a more aggressive grill would look good!

They're BBS LM's... what more can you say?

How low is it now? Do the LM's rub on the inside when turning, etc? They sure look wide rims! :D I was thinking about getting some 7.5'' LM's and fit some coil-overs to adjust lowering. 7.5'' would be playing on the safe side, but 8'' would be wicked!

Really nice Polo you got Kim, congrats!

PS - Do you still have those GTI side-skirts? I'd give them a good use I asure you :) (That is, if you sent them to Portugal).


Kind Regards.
