9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
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
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
the biggest piece of progress is that i got my licence last week and now i can actually drive the car
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

Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
best website to upload photos to in order to link them to this thread?
Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
I always use photobucket. Just upload your pictures and copy and past the IMG code on to here and they work fine.

Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
Few UPDATES... forgot i had this build thread
bought new tyres instead of running those monter truck tyres that were previously on it
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
Genuine 9N3 GTI skirts fitted
new radio fitted... instead of the single din i upgraded to a JVC double din head unit
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
new back bumper fitted along with new taillights as my previous bumper and lights were cracked
NB the car is now lower than shown in the pictures ! lol just thought id clear that up, but its not SLAMMED, just low but still driveable
car has also been dewiper'd but dont have any photos

Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
Looks nice that does buddy, i'm a fan of the OEM look and it not being slammed to the floor
Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
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?
Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)
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!
Re: 9N/MKVI- Polo Project thread :)

Next plans are colour coding the bump strips and respraying the front bumper
