Howdy again and thanks again for putting us up briefly (uk-mkivs)
,
On thurs my lovely Girlfriend is picking up a 02 plate Polo a nice and tidy 1.2S.
Its completely standard and was hoping for a few ideas on some subtle mods.
She wants a CD player and some alloys not overly expensive but decent!
Was hoping to keep it OEM if possible?
Any suggestions? pics? ideas?

oky doky!
Well today is the day she picks up her "pearl" (thats what she has named it) lol.
Can anyone please post some pics of their mods to give me some ideas?.
Ive looked through members rides and found a few things but still not satisfied I know what im doing
Can you get euro lights for the polo?

euro lights as in?...
i would recommend some DIY fit fog lights, even if theyre not connected up, they make a big difference to the front end. ~£30 i think for them
i reckon for an OE look, some 16" 5 spokers look good
hmm and a rear spoiler for a sportier look? think that will keep u busy for the mean time.
congrats on the new car!

Euro lights (meant red/clear/red) I've got these on my golf I'm just curious to if you can get similar for the polo?

i dont think there are - yet.
the closes ull get to is the standard 1s
there are lexus lights, but i know these are not to every1s tastes.
the facelift polo coming this summer (9N3) have different rear lights, not to every1s taste again, but theyve grown on me
..... want them so much now!

I think there ok I'm sure they will grow on me!
Spoiler is a deffo!
If I got 16in alloys would there be any rubbing and would I need to lower the polo?.
"in her words would it look like a roller skate?" lol
cheers for your help buddy

np m8
im running 18s and they dont rub
16s no prob, with 17s, it can be lowered -75mm
ride height really down to tastes IMO

Pic of mine with votex spoiler and 16's,
I think the 17" Exor alloys look great on the polos, see below. And as for a oem stereo I reckon a gamma radio with 6 cd is a good bet! I'm certainly happy with my sound.

Alternatively Gamma headunit with a phatbox is also good.
I love my phatbox.
