UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi guys i am new to the forum and new to the VW tuning scene. I have just bought a polo gti and i am lowering it tommorow on FK coilovers. Looking to sort a few other things out with my car could do with some help please.

I am looking to buy a strut brace for my polo gti but all the one's i have seen are red,i am looking for a chrome or yellow one. Strutbracer on ebay is selling a chrome flat bar type strut brace to fit a 1.4 16v vw polo 1994-2000 would this fit my 2001 POLO GTI ?

I am also looking to buy new alloys for my GTI any ideas and pictures of any nice rims. Think i want something like LENSO SHUs what do you think ? i am a fan of polished rims dunno if i could stretch to a set though.

Any help appreciated guys.

Lenso is a bit jap for me, I know which ones you mean but not my liking Im affraid.

With regards to polished wheels and stretching to the cost, search german ebay for a set of wheels you like (alurad), get a good cheap price for them (expect to pay approx £50 postage) and refurb them yourself.

Its hard work but the end result is a cracking looking set of rims that hopefully not many others will have.

My rims weere in fairly bad condition when I got them:



A bit of hard work and hey presto:



And you would be suprised how much it has cost me to do this!

Expecting to have all 4 finished this weekend and I get my car back from the bodyshop on Thursday next week. So hopefully next weekend I'll get some pics of the finished product up!

carn't help you with the strut brace! sorry. as for the wheels stay german me thinks! nice set of BBS, RH, ronal turbos! *drool*
