Hello guy's I'm all for 'eurostyling' and came up with this idea.

i've never seen it on a polo before but i know golfs do it alot...you planning on just tidying up that part basically or bringing the body work out so theres no indent or anything.

i'm always up for new ideas when it comes to polos :wink:

p.s if you litterally want the space where the bumper should go smoothed then if you got a pic without the bumper but from the front more then i could do a photoshop for ya :)

What you mean smoothed? removing the bumper and doing what to it?

lierally making it smooth, welding a plate over the little indentation, and colour coding it, would look AMAZING mate, go for it, iv seen a mini clubman smoothed from behind, i was in shock, lookd great, iv smoothed my doors and that makes a big difference to me, handles next when i get central locking and a alarm

thought the photoshop would look real...:^) doesnt really give a good impression but i know it would look great, maybe you could look at pics of mk1 and mk2 golfs that have been smoothed....they look almost the same from the front?
