Reflex Silver 1.2 TDi (XXR 527s)
Posted: Tue Jan 07, 2014 9:52 pm
Decided to start a new topic for my car as the old one was very messy and a lot has changed, so here goes;
My Polo's a 2012 1.2 TDi Match 5dr in Reflex Silver. Bought it as an ex-demo which came with the leather multifunction steering wheel and had rear sensors fitted along with mud flaps all round plus VW rubber mats inside. The only personal touch so far is HEKO wind deflectors all round and I'll be debadging as soon as it's possible. Also bought some old-style (not really legal) number plates which I'll be fitting soon.
It's been nearly 2 years now and as I'm only 18 and at uni, I've just been building some no-claims and enjoying the thrilling 1.2 diesel engine as much as possible
but now I've finally been able to get wheels and lows on my insurance policy so I've taken the plunge and bought a set of XXR 527s in flat silver - 17x8.25j et25 (had to buy spigot rings to change them from 73.1 to 57.1). Loved the look of these wheels for a while, a nice amount of concave even if they aren't that wide and I've seen a couple of 6Rs running them with some poke and it looks sick in my opinion. I originally wanted Bronze but I think I may as well stick to the Silver colour scheme to be somewhat original. 
Went for Nankang NS-2 205/40/17 simply because I found a cheap deal on a set and they're better than budgets.
Better pictures to come but I got them fitted, very happy with the look!
More to come soon, I'll be arranging all the pictures and take some proper ones sometime this week or next. Next plans are either 50mm lowering springs or cheap coilies

Still got no way to debadge as I can't get near a hair dryer which is annoying, would look a lot cleaner.
