Red is the best colour though

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

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.

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.
