UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

New to the forum, thought i'd share the journey i've been on with my car and get some feedback.

shes a 1.0E bottom of the range 3 door with a mind boggling 50BHP and a top speed of 94mph. Managed to squeeze 102mph out of the beany little motor downhill, but it wasn't happy about it.

heres how it looked when i got it, pristine....



then got some rims..



few little mods, stripes, tights over back lights and side indicators and sprayed the badge black.



went down hill from this point onwards really..... managed to bald my tyres nicely so off they came and steelies went back on




two crashes
-one into a grass verge mincing my front bumper, power steering, radiator.
-one into a curb on a wet, off camber roundabout, new track rod arm, anto roll bar and lower control arm....that was an interesting drive home....

i also managed to ruin my rear bumper by reversing into a concrete pyramid bollard and push it back about 10 foot before i noticed it was behind me....

so all in all a run of beginers bad luck to say the least. well, bad luck and driving like a c**t....

also managed to get clipped by a lorry pulling out of a lane...


and offroading cant of helped much either..

took about an hour to get out of the hole it dug.

Great little car though given me some awsome times. Then got a job and thought enough of giving it abuse and began pampering it...

Welcome, sounds like you have had a bit of fun lol

Welcome to the forum mate

Looks like your polo has been abused! Needs a good wash and polish and it will look much better

cheers

Yeah certainly has..gave it a proper wash a polish last week but just doesnt last aha

Little update

got my gti splitter and fly eye tint today, heres some pics





was suprised by the fly eye tint, i was expecting a rubbery film that was just tinted rather than what it actually is, not complaining though still looks pretty dope, well on the rears anyway, not overkeen on the repeaters...







Also got a few pics of my interior





Rear 6x9s, just some old freebees from a mate, need replacing!!

Is that a source sticker on the door? .

Looks nice mate!
Gee

Cheers bud,

not a source sticker just an ebay job, pretty random but just liked it really

Nice Car mate looks like its been bruised and battered but that's nothing that cant be put right with a little TLC

got my headlight covers on, pretty stoked on how they look





wind deflectors ordered pics when i get them



Also thinking of getting some wheel spacers, but that just means it'll rub even more. any recomendations?

Wind Deflectors

How did you fix them on then ?

the wind deflectors? they slot into the seal at the top of the window and have got a sticky bit on either end, pretty tight fit though so they just sit there

haha and i thought my car took some abuse with its minor scratches
are them headlight protectors that colour as standard or are they tinted?

haha yeah, definatly taken some abuse thats for sure, all good fun though. I got them off ebay, i thought they were like that as standard but the guy had brought some clear ones and put some tint spray on them

ahh right, i found an exact pair on ebay but forgot to bid lol
might just buy a clear set and do it my self
how much light do they still let through?
