That's only if you get the rear calipers.
As long as you get the front calipers then you're on to a winner.

Ive priced the full set up up for me and lucky for me ive got a few friends overseas, so shopping around i found a full set for the equivalent of about 300 quid haha

hi mate, cars looking sweet!
ive just bought the same stereo unit as youve got, is the plug adapter and facia all thats needed?
cheers

all i bought was the Ariel adapter and the autoleads adapter, if you look in this thread http://www.uk-polos.net/view ... 43&t=57607 it will give you the right wires to get it working how the standard hu works too, so the pull key out turn off

thats a massive help! cheers!

Yes as you can use your original brake line.

got this through the post yesterday! start of my induction, just need to wait and order the filter and a filter for the secondary air intake hose

Hi mate, car is looking awesome Did you need this piece in the end? Or do you simply need the filter, 90 degree bend and the hose clamps?

Cheers for your help

that peice ended up been a cock up! haha, i only needed the 90 deg hose so i butchered this to practice my cutting, with the foam filter on it sounds nice, lots of induction noise

Brilliant thanks for the reply mate just one other thing, what size breather filter did you get?

Cheers again

well.......i have no filter as ive put a pair of tights on it as a temp fix aha, thanks for reminding me, i should really order one

just a quick update, not posted in my thread for a while. Ive upgraded the front speakers to some Vibe Black air 6.5 and while i was on me jolly hollys i sent it away to get all the stonechips, scratches and dents removed from the bodywork. Its also had a three stage machine polish to get rid of any imperfections in the paint. Tomorrow is a wash and wax day so once its done ill get some pics up of everything ive done!

as its currently sat

get some better pics on tarmac, i wanna see how it sits on those springs!

what's the ride quality like compared to standard?

Fair bit harsher! I'll get one at work for ya tomorrow
