UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hey guys im new to the forum, its seems a kool place with sayfe people so just gonna do a little thread on my polo...

Purchased it at the end of june, its a 1.4 8vMatch, i work away so i had put a fair few miles on the clock, and coming home from donnington park the gearbox went on me...

Anyway...

As i bought it, completley std.


Quick snap from in the garage at Rockingham Speedway.


With my mates Corsa.


Had the tints done, full limo on back, light on front (which have now been ripped of by some pin dicked pig) - Croft Raceway


Then had some alloys fitted (the money was wearing my pocket down and coloudnt wait any longer for some 2nd hand dished wheels to come up) - Getting powdercoated after the winter all black


And a shot from in the garage at Oulton Park


I wish i could tell you that how it stoofd now, but this is the front end atm...


On the way from Cadwell Park to Silverstone i hit something... Big fox, small dear, child... DOnt know what it is but i f****d up my car

Get it back this weekend ready for some work!

Future -

Black roof
Black mirrors
Black Alloys
Black B-Pillas
Bigger spacers
Lowering springs
Smooth tailgate
Hidden exhaust
Bonnet Bra
And finally fitting the buckets i have along with the steering wheel

A further welcome to the site mate,

what does that mean exactly?

Some lard arse copper who has nothing else to do woke us up in a service station to make me rip my own front tints off because they were illigal...

Who's lives are at risk buy me having my windows tinted? Go do something usefull FFS!

the argument is that you wont be able to see out of the windows as well, so (for example) you could possibly pull out of a junction thinking its safe when in fact it's not, because of your 'impaired' vision through your windows

I'm not a fan of the rule either, but it does make sense

Oh my god, how about a comment relevent to the thread, if not none?

sorry not to my liking most of the stuff you have done up to now, but each to their own and welcome to the forum

well sorry mate, no comment it is then.

jeez.....that told you!
to be fair mate it does have sense to it, and the law is the law. i agree that they could go catch some real criminals tho lol.
cars lookin tidy, sorry bout the accident and all....but your future plans sound cool!!

I'm with Harris on this one, really not to my taste. You should know that your tints are already tinted from factory, so by applying the minimum you're making them automatically illegal. IMO should have really gone for different wheels, lowering should come first above all as well.

I think it will look alright if you lower it, get the gti splitter and fog lights on there!

I am not a massive fan on tints especially dont like all round tints.

also why just smooth the rear bumper? I think that will look strange. Either do the whole car or dont bother IMO.

got potential though dude!

Its not been styled the way i would, but its your car.

surely he didnt make you take them off there and then, cos they arent allowed to do that....have to either give you fixed penalty or an mot requisition which means you would have 14 days to take them off, get an mot station to prove they are off and then take it the police station.

Should would could

Im only 18, this is my second car because the first polo got written off, i wish i could smooth everything, have some DZ Exclusives or RM's with a 1.8t engine but there are some restrictions, and plus money dont grow on trees

Thanks for the comments either way, but the more i do the car the more it will on grow those dissliking it at the moment

Oh and...

Who said anything about smoothing any bumpers, nevermind the back one?
