UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

So after a week of waiting the lowering springs have been fitted...pic of before and after are attached below to be honest they dont do justice to the way the car looks, in the flesh it looks spot on and the rear is to settle still a little bit more..

and the ride....so much better than before

Thats just 30mm all round yeah? Looks like it has a good bit more to settle, still sitting kinda high :/

The back will drop another 5mm or so as the springs settle. When you first install these springs the back only drops 25mm but they will drop another 5mm. I think it looks mint

pics dont do it justice the car looks hunkered down in the flesh/iron, still needs to settle a little, yes they are 30mm all round. The quality of ride is sooooo much better tho.

Yeah it'll look better in a week or two Needs a wash though Anything else planned for it?

was going to wash it today, but its freezing was looking at some led number plate bulbs and a tailpipe cover really. Would love to put on the r line bumpers, skirts and roof spoiler but no suppliers in the uk yet...

I think the gti ones would look better, do you not? I was debating getting the set, two sides, the back and a similar exhaust, cost about a grande :/

thought about the gti kit and they do look chunky on the polo, but the r line ones in my opinion suit it better as its not a gti and don't want to pretend to have a gti when its not but thats just me. Vw in ireland have the r line kit available on all new polos but vw uk doesnt...its not fair!!

Pics of what it could look like

Hmm, i could easily go down south and get myself one then but i dunno, wont be doing anything big for a while until i get the funds

i know what you mean about funds, by the time paid up for the kit delivered/sprayed up and fitting almost another £2k, cant justify it just yet.........

Nah same, unless i keep the car for at least 3-4 years, but saying as im only 17 i think I'll have this for a while

I have the Audi A3/A1 (Part No 8P0071771) exhaust trim on mine mate. Fits perfect on the 65mm exhaust, Stainless Steel so doesn't rust and works out nearly 30 quid cheaper than the VW one... I just went down to the Audi Dealer near Crown Point and picked one up. Slots straight on and has clips inside so it doesn't come off

As for LED number plate bulbs, the OEM VW ones available leave bulb warnings on the dash, so i'm led to believe that these are the better option, a few on here have these fitted:

cheers for that mate, audi is a stones throw from my office where i work will have to pop in and pick it up, damn this modding bug once it starts just doesnt stop...
