9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)

Post by PollyGTI »

been on here for a while now but could never get my build thread to work... ill give it another go sure lol


bought this wee car in Glasgow in February and brought it across the water to its new home.
Car needed a good valet as previous owner only gave it the oul wash every other week, but thankfully they looked after it mechanically :)

over the summer car sat in the garage as i didnt have my license but got treated to a new set of sneaks lol
set of genuine BBS Montreal IIs.. i like the OEM look better btw

Image
Image

also managed to get my hands on a new head unit so that i was able to put a AUX lead into and much more, also got a Parrot hands free system fitted while i was at it

Image
Image

the biggest piece of progress is that i got my licence last week and now i can actually drive the car :D


so after 4 days of driving the car legally i got fed up with seeing it sitting sky high, so got a bargain on a set of lowering springs, only issue is that the boy didnt know what MM they were, he thought they were 35MM but i have my doubts... any ideas on what they could be? all i have to go by is the part number which is printed onto the springs themselves

I always use photobucket. Just upload your pictures and copy and past the IMG code on to here and they work fine.

Few UPDATES... forgot i had this build thread

Brand new yokohama S-Drives inflated with nitrogen 195/45/16

Car is now on coilovers as the springs got sold before they were fitted lol
Image
Image












Genuine 9N3 GTI skirts fitted
Image




Image





Image
















new radio fitted... instead of the single din i upgraded to a JVC double din head unit :)
Image







got a set of genuine mudflaps to fit the car but had to butcher the front ones in order to get them to fit over the GTI side skrits
Image







new back bumper fitted along with new taillights as my previous bumper and lights were cracked
Image

Looks great..You've done a good job! I say it all the time on here but oem+ is definitely the way to go. Have you any more plans?

That looks really good mate, I'm considering doing the same really, Montreal's look really good on Polo's! I bought some lowering springs a while back and just never found time to put them on! Done a good job!
