big thanks to wullie for his hard work and andy for watching also cheers to stevo for painting my calipers im well chuffed with the car even although the old wheels are back on it still looks good!!!!

looks great. well played.

get some decent wheels now polo sport ones suck

Looking good

When lowered, even the stock alloys appear to work quite well. How much is it lowered by? I recall you mentioning you changed the boost pipes earlier to silicone items...may I ask if there were any particular reasons, and what you replaced them with and a price if possible? Was it a hard job to do?

Ash

Ive got montreal II wheels but i scuffed one thats why the old wheels are on for now!!!

Its lowered by 50mm

K.I.T.T i had to replace some of the pipes on the boost controller unit as they had split just crappy vw hosing! I had some blue silicone pipe in the house from my boyfriends car, You have to change the pipes 1 by 1 just to follow where they go and thats it (boyfriends words lol) im waiting on my red silicone vacum pipe coming in so my car is matching!

cheers for the comments

Ah, cheers

Any chance of an under the bonnet shot to see what it looks like? Also, do you have any idea what diameter hose is needed? Am considering getting some new boost pipes just for preventative maintainence as I had a phase where the car felt gutless (worse than a stock 1.4 TDi, and mines mapped), but it went away on it's own...just taking precautions

Ash

Once the red pipe is on ill get some pics up!! My polo done that gutless feeling before and it was like it was cutting boost turned out it was perished pipe on the boost controller!!

must be a 1.4tdi think. i've blown many pipes
mainly due to shabby manufacturer not me

Yeh i have to agree they have perished at the ends and then it end up leaking and i lose boost pressure lol
