headlight eyebrows?
gauges under the headunit?

and big black bumper strips

Its a bit "boy-racer" for my tastes... light brows, bonnet vent, DTM zorst and bad spelling

Still all the changes look like they can be removed if the buyer wanted too...

Its not toooooooooooooo bad. Its more of a wanabe Chavelier.
Still salvageable.
Why must people try and ruin their cars though

Especially sticking bits on it off a Renault 19

I quite like it esp the black rubbing strips all round - breaks up the lines nicely and sooo much better than colour coded

Tailgate spoiler is subtle and not to large - nice

I even like the wheels a bit......

What did get the thumbs down was

The bonnet vent - cack - looks stuck on

Headlamp eyebrows - what's with the try to make the headlamps look like twin round ones!!!

Lack of rear badge - smooth look is fine - chiselling of your badge in an half arsed attempt to smooth the rear end just looks cack

But overall fairly easy to sort and make a nice car out of it - good starting price too IMHO

I think it's ok.. tacky from the front, the eyebrows are rubbish (I like the look of 6n2 lights as standard personally..), the bonnet vent looks completely out of place and the sunstrip doesn't really do it for me.. other than that though my only gripe is the rear badge recess that hasn't been flushed out. Very much salvagable though, and quite a nice job other than that.. most of the mods have at least been thought through and are pretty subtle, even if they're not really to everyone's taste..

is it just me or has a bird had a big cack on his front bumper on the passenger side near the headlight and he just hasn't bothered to clean if off ?

This car is emaculate apart from a few small dints and scratches

Yeah such small scratched yeah the one on the front passenger side of the bumper seems like a big F*** off one.

As for the bird poop, is it definitely bird poop? Or is it lacking paing in a bizzare bird poop style shape?

Needs a *little* work...

Remove the sunstrip and make it a thinner, translucent fade one

Get rid of that silly little bonnet vent, or at least put it down closer to where the induction pipe / kit is more likely to be (unless of course it's an MPi and they've somehow bodged a cone filter RIGHT on top of the inlet).
No, in fact, you've put a Renault 16v vent onto a VW 999cc ... that's just stupid. Cut it out, throw it away and leave the gaping hole as a lesson for others.

Either nob the "eyebrows" (no.. they're not... what the hell are they exactly???) right off, or make 'em silver. That black looks gash.

That's about it really. Wheels are fine if a bit rollerskatey without dropped suspension, silver lights suit it (as it's a silver car!), the guages, well, that's fair enough really they look alright - but where have the heater controls / whatever was previously there gone?

oh... and TWO 12" subs in a Polo? Right... ok.... like you need that? Oh yes.. i see... you have a stereo, not a mono amplifier. Yes. Well done. Here's your prize.
You also have a Volt Metre

To go with all the benafits of your emaculate peddles and cills*

But no rear badge and no smoothing of the gap for it.

And did the 1.0 really come with ABS and ESP?

The irony of that wasn't lost on me

too obvious you think? you want i tone it down?

Renault 19 2.1 16v turbo, now that was a rare beast of a motor. At least according to the only guy I know who's properly heard of one (by dint of owning it)

carmadaaron · Post by **carmadaaron** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 7:48 pm

ABS came as standard

fair enough.. the electronic stability stuff too?
