Tbh i disnt really mean base spec, i much prefer the small bumper gti's and golfs with no plastic arches look even better!! My mate is nearly finished doing his mk1 caddy pickup and it has had a lot of restoration!!

Re: My Polo - Update.

Postby Michael! on Fri May 24, 2013 1:55 pm

Saved up for a new car - couldn't find one I liked so spent more money on this.

Since my last update it's had;

New front brake set up (cheapo ones)
Both front bearings
New tyres
A new standard backbox

And I bought these

Image

And did that
Image

Plans are as follows;

Custom stainless exhaust - booked in for monday
Wing/door scratch and both mirrors - booked in for the end of June.
Fit the polybushes, get it tracked up.
Fit the coilovers - get over speedbumps.
Get a standard set of headlights as these fog up like f**k now.
Fit gti manifold (delete pre-cat) - bought
Fit gti inlet manifold - bought
Get it re-remapped.
Fit my retrimmed recaros :Q .
Freshen up brakes + service it (again)
Needs a new drivers cv joint too so that too.


What do you think? I'm doing well...
