UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just got my first car, a silver 1.0L 2000 polo Done a few mods on it so far. E.g. gti grill with a red hi-line strip, fin aerial, gti dash cover, gear gaiter, gti fogs and side indicators etc . Got a pioneer head unit which looks pretty sweet. Got my hands on some bbs rx2 15" split rims, which needed a refurb. So far i have taken all the lacquer off the rims, sanded them down and polished them. Got to take the centres to a company to be powder coated. Plan to make it a look a like GTI, so need alot more things! So yeh, still lots of mods to do in future Below is a pic of my car with the mods so far

sounds pretty nice mate, you going to get some xenons and lower it so it sits on those bbs split rims better ?

lol good see you on here bro

Its all around a good motor. Full VW SH, only a few owners and its been looked after pretty well. Mechanically sound as a nut...just need to detail the paintwork when I get 5 mins to myself!

A few nice subtle mods so far mate which is always nice to see.These cars really don't need that much doing to them to make them look sweet.People over do them so much,but hopefully yours will keep going the way it is so far.

Good work.

Cheers yeh i want to keep all the mods as genuine as i can really. Trying to get as close as possible to a GTI as I can Got a central locking kit coming tomorrow, which will be a challenge to fit, but will give it a go!

Good plan mate,can't be classic looks.Sounds good,fob it off to your brother im sure he'd love to fit it for you haha.

Keep the updates coming.

Haha yeh thats what im going to do i wouldnt have a clue tbh! Im looking for a silver GTI spoiler for sale, but cant find to spot a decent one

Heres a couple of pics of the alloy refurb:

Before: (This is a pic of what my bros looked like, because i forgot to take a pic of mine, but they looked pretty similar to this)



After:



Need to give them a really good polish though.

Looks good so far! Can I have a look at ur shark fin installation - I'm thinking of doing an install myself

Yeh alright then mate, il take a pic for you tomorrow its not colour coded as i have black side skirts. So i thought i would leave it black so it matched

Cheerz mate, I would have to colour code mine but I'm not sure if the shape of it blends in with the whole car

What you mean your not sure if it will blend in with the whole car mate? Il get a picture up for you tomorrow, so you can decide

i think he means like the shape, as its quite a modern looking aerial compared to the design of the polo. The one on mine works perfectly in my opinion mind you!
