That looks so tidy. Your making me jealous again having a red one! Your fan been coming on a lot since moving the plate?

cant say i have noticed the fan coming on more. cars not getting used that much at the moment as im working away from home during the week.

Red is the best colour though

Mmmm five door smoothing and its red

Makes me want to do it!!

If only we could get away with no front numberplate here

It looks awesome

Looking good there 1der!

How do you rate the Mongoose system so far? I've been told they are one of the louder off-the-shelf systems available for any car let alone the Polo...

nice. a colour coded splitter would set off the front nicely. otherwise a very very tidy modded polo

Seconded on the above

Mine is away being colour coded as we speak

has a nice subtle burble at tickover. not sure how loud though.would need a second opinion. doesn't sound overly loud to me though.

not sure if im keen on the colour coded splitter.

Looking good there mate, can't beat a bit of smoothage

Mouse, having my plate on the lower grille hasn't made my fan come on any more than what it ever used to.

Ok so it's just my car being silly

Rattling on a bit eh paul! Good on ya mate...get her lower

1der · Post by **1der** » Mon Nov 05, 2007 3:10 pm

cant put the back any lower because of the exhaust.its only about 40mm clearance between the backbox and the road

the front migh come down another 10 or 20mm when i replace the ball joint

Sweet mate. What wheels are you running at the moment? I thought they were 16" RXs for a sec.
