UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just bought my first car, a white 5door 2004 1.2 polo 9n,

Some Pictures below in the garage as it needed a good polish and some work was needed on the body

So far I have installed a new headunit, Alpine CDA 105ri looks really good as the lights match and sounds good considering its running on original speakers.Now fitted is a fin aerial.

There will be more to follow soon and will keep you upto date with what is going on

any advice or tips would be great guys

Hello mate,
A few good ideas for your 9n could be change the back rear lights (2006 ones), maybe a fin aerial, they look pretty cool some decent alloys and maybe colour code the side strips?

9N........... good choice m8, lucky to pik up a white one aswell, first things first, get a set of coilys bought and a nice set of wheels, preferably 17s!
Get sum piks up in the meantime and people will cast their opinions!

yeah i know there is hardly any white ones about ! Thinking will probably lower 35 mm and then get hold of some black 17s but will get some pics up asap, got it in the garage atm giving it a good Tcut before its on the road

Wheels First, Gotta be black! Then coilovers, get it really low.
colour code the bump strips, black tint on windows, black badges front and back stubby ariel.

would look the dogs mate

Just seen some coilovers on Ebay for £169... slightly skeptical because its ebay and also they are very cheap

What do people think ?

you get what you paid for, there good for the price, ive had them in the past, i have expensive ones now there aint much diff lol.
just a bit softer.

so there alright then mate ? i dont have loads of money to spend still being at school thats why :/

A very tempting price, But personally I wouldnt want to go for cheap suspension. Its one of the most important components on the car and you want it to be reliable and high quality otherwise it can start affecting other parts on the car (tyres etc)

Some people say they're good others say rubbish.
Do a search on the forum for "Coilovers" and you'll find a pretty lengthy debate on ebay coilovers!

I'm about to buy some AP coilovers because my stock suspension is nackered, wouldnt really want to settle for anything less

Yeah mate but i have gone off the idea of them coilovers now, dont want to take the risk, as you said one of most important components on the car, got a good mate who knows everything about polos and he said just a decent set of springs will do me fine, im only looking to lower between 35-45 anyway
hope your new coilovers are alright when you get them

Just fitted a new Fin Aerial looks really good thankyou Alexperkins,

Get some ap coilies that what I got and ride is firm
but don't hurt and they sit nicely

looks good that

yeah looks really nice, am pleased with it. It took so long to get the bolt to thread omg! Thanks anyway mate, cheers for sorting out the ipod cables aswell
