Re: My Polo
Might be worth losing the rear tints perhaps? Looks far to chive in my opinion, but its up to you
Wheels should be colour coded to the car too

Re: My Polo
Rear tints!? I thought they were standard lights
I think I want standard fronts as the angel light things have a s**t full beam!
Danny I'm getting some g60 steelies soon and those wheels are going so just using them out of necessity!
Mark, I've wanted one since my friend got a gti 5 years ago I do really like them!
Jony, yeah I agree but they were the only ones I had to hand! I've found adequate space for the fiesta but I'm really skint this month and I'm having to start selling parts off it feel like it may have to go soon

Re: My Polo
its currently got no interior and no bumpers etc - going to get the dash out next week i think. im cracking on - my mum said shes going to help me out with some money so i dont have to sell it, which is cool...
problem now being is that the polo is more demanding than i would have liked.

Re: My Polo
wont be scrapped at all, why would i scrap it when its a perfectly sound shell?
parts will be sold so i can start a fresh or just keep it as is/unsure yet as waiting on my mother coming through for once.

Re: My Polo
When you say it won't be as low with new coilies, you it will be lower right??
Polo's look good but that exhaust looks w**k. I think your idea to get a standard looking one is a good idea

Re: My Polo
why not just get standard springs and dampers and standard back box?? Exactly what i would be doing if I had a project car to do. Then when the project is finished maybe do some to the polo?
Just an idea

Re: My Polo
Why does it need new coilovers? Surely you can just raise these ones?
If you start spending out on this one (coilovers/wheels etc) then you're only going to find yourself selling the Fiesta. I would say at your age and income level etc its time to make a decision about which car to continue with. I can't afford to sort two cars yet and I'm 24!

Re: My Polo
You could always get a standard exhaust then replace the middle box with just straight through pipe?? Also my mate has some rear coilies spare i could ask him if he'll sell them if you're interested??

Re: My Polo
mike i must admit its a bit disappointed seeing you want to spend dolls on this when it was meant to be a runaround so you could do the fez haha! this is why i didnt get a runaround
you definetely sure you cant get the rear coilies to budge? did you try my technique of a needle file and a s**t load of copper grease?

Re: My Polo
I bought this car because it was a bargain and is sound and I like it and my fiesta needed too much work to keep it on the road AS IS.
Look guysssss, I'm not look to spend all my money on this car, I want new wheels and when I can afford it (as perv stated) new coilovers.
I still have plans for the fiesta but I don't want it as it is now, so I'll be selling bits of it and starting a fresh.
