UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi all,

Had the polo for just over a year, just been sorting the little niggles here and there, nothing major but thought I would start a thread

Here she is...



I suppose the main things which I have done is lowered her 30mm and fitted a K&N typhoon induction kit.

Have done quite a few little odd jobs here and there will add more shortly

Will

Looks good

The best colour too

looks good

Very nice indeed. Nice colour

Great detailing!

Looks like a nice example Will,also like how you've kept it pretty OE which is how these cars look best.

Cheers Bradley deffo agree with you there, checked out your progress thread very clean car mate, can't believe how low the mileage is!

aha I see you guys must have red ones to

Thanks for the rest of the positive comments guys.

Looks very nice & clean! What mileage is it on? How did you lower it the 30mm? Are you happy with the height and ride quality? I ideally would like some coilovers, but won't have the money for those for a long time. I seriously need to lower it though!

Its got 105k on it now had 92k when I got it.

When I first had the car it had been lowered on 60mm front 40mm rear on uprated shocks/lowering springs which personally was too low for me scraped so often and speed bumps were a nightmare, passengers in the back wernt good either! I ended up getting some 30mm spax lowering springs to raise it up no problems now at all and looks good in my opinion. Rides quite firm but as I have never driven the car with the original suspension I cant really compare it.

I would of liked coilovers too but also on a bit of a budget!

Looks good Will. Got a clean set of RX2s on there as well

Welcome

Lovely looking GTI you have there!

Red is definately the 2nd best colour! Hahaha

Cheers mate Yeah there not bad by no means perfect but compared to some sets I have seen there quite good. The only thing I have done is replace the centre caps, one wheel had a really corroded lip so I split it and polished up the rim.

Before


After


Not perfect but a lot better for time being

Nice example there, very interested in the subtle lows! Was thinking along similar lines myself, and yours looks very nice on the 30mm. Top work on the rims too!

Excellent work on that rim, the job you've done looks great.

One of the small things I've done is freshen up the brakes a bit, after 12 years they were showing there age a bit...



After a couple of coats had them looking like this...
