It looks great, you can't beat a nice MK2 Polo 8)

Have you thought about continuing the matte black theme on to the arches? Something like this:

Should look excellent when it's finished, I have a soft spot for the old squarebacks :D

cheers for the comments. idea on paint is matt white and matt black. only cause its easier to keep clean as its matt, and ill be using to go to work/college every day. and im lazy :p

all gonna be resprayed though.

went over today and whipped an arch off to see what it was like. im impressed.

still gonna anti-rust it and matt black it though

not updated on here so will copy and paste from another forum for your viewing pleasure.

Right. Update.

Theres loads of pics here, got trigger happy!
Yesterday was spent fixing two cars. The oloP and the Nova.

Nothing special to the Nova, repair an arch and fix soundsystem. ts happy now.

The Polo got a fair treatment though, Fitted my new four light grill, only to find out I didnt know where the other light plugs were.... help?

Stripped the rear only to find I didnt have a screw driver or socket bit that would undo the 2 seat bolts...

and painted the bonnet black. This isnt completely done, off to get more lacquer on today ;)

ill let the pics do the rest.
