Hi im new to this site and new to vw polo's, :P iv just brought a 6n and have started to modify :twisted:

Here's some pics so far...

I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH PLASTIC IS IN THESE THINGS :lol:

My plans are as follows:

Fully Strip the interior hammerite or spray the whole inside lower on coilovers 100mm plus small deep dish alloys, iv ordered a badgeless front grille rear strut barce and bucket seats with harnesses.

I know all this sounds silly as its only a 1.0ltr and would usually be done to decrease weight etc but i just think a fully stripped car with 2 bucket seats and harnesses go really well.

Any suggestions and ideas are welcome as again i am new to polo's

:wink:

Awesome mate :) iv now taken the whole carpet out front to back all door cards and all plastic lol :?

Yu know that feeling of i hope im not making a mistake here.. well thats been runnin through my mind lately!

But to be honest i think it will look the way i want in the end its just a pretty extreme time at the min as its all happening at once.

What engine you got in yours mate?

Rite another busy weekend peeps!

First of all a good clean was needed...

Image

Image

Then for a few shiny bits to be masked up ;-)

Image

Then bring out the hammerite :-)

Image

Image

Image

Image

Well pleased with the outcome the matt black looks awesome and takes your eyes off all the little screw holes etc. :thumbsup:

Then for the badgeless grille to be fitted...

Image

Image

Image

Makes such a difference to the front end..

Iv now started to take the old front seats out to make way for the buckets..

Image

Image

These are the seats im going to get with harnesses,. But thats another chapter ;-) ...
