UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hey guys,

I uploaded some pics of my polo for another forum, and thought I'd share them with you guys too.

Enjoy


I do really like this pic










ps: this is not to brag about the polo ("look how nice"), it's just not to let my efforts to upload them(and change the sizes of the pics etc) go to waiste...

I think I like this one best. It's a bit 'arty' with the trees casting a shadow on it. The angle also has that "walking up to my car and seeing how good it looks" feel to it. If you know what I mean.

Kinda makes me want one.

i know what you mean

I like this one. Makes it look bombastic.
Low and wide
Always did like the "look" of the new polo's front, that probably has something to do with it too..

Yeah I like it too. But what's the story on the P-shop in your sig, with the black grill and lower bumper? Like that look as well...

:S

that was a photoshop I did when I had just fitted my wheels and kw suspension(1st day I had the wheels). I wanted to see what the car would be like in it's lowest position.

Sometimes that pic makes me regret painting the grills too.., although I am content with it..

I think it looks lovelly now mate... really nice!

Very Euro. Nice.
We hate speed bumps too mate

Very nice, still a bit high though!!!

I'm just wondering, because I got this coment before. Is this really true? Are you serious I mean? I am not angry or anything, just curious

You have to know actually that the carter(oil pan? ) is 3cms(1,5inch) away from the ground. Diesel he...
When I got home from that meeting(worthersee in Austria) the car was screwed down another cm, so that means that the oil pan is only 2cms from the ground. (Measured when standing still, when you drive the car comes lower he)
Can you imagine how many times my inox-protection-shield hits the ground per day? And not just the harmless scraping of the tarmac(only scatches the oilpan-protection a bit); I drive rather slow on bad roads though so it's still do-able for me..

To be honest I would like the car to be lower, but it is impossible to drive in then.. Plus you have the fact that the kw suspension is at its lowest at the back. I even took out the screwsystem, which means that the car is even 3cms lower than possible with the kw suspension..

Actually speed bumps don' t botter me that much. The oil pan raises when the wheels go up the speed bump, so I rarely scrape them

Another thing are these very small speed bumps they put over an electrical wire(you know what I mean right?). I get stuck on these

Yeah I know. We went to Castrop last year, and they had two loose wooden boards to cover either wires or a fence rail in the ground. That made quite a nasty sound.

Sorry, this is a more serious forum than what i am used to (www.briskoda.net). It is just my sense of humour, we need it given the current state of the country.

I think he was being sarcastic... your car is very, very low indeed!!

thought so, but wasn't sure.
I am a perfectionist in these things, and really, I would want the car to be lower...

If it was do-able, I'd hit it

Nice! Although a bit low for me.

How low is the drop??

And what size are the wheels??
