Orite Mate, was just looking at your pics, i am currently searching for some black angel eye head lights and black lexus rear lights just like the ones on ur car smile.gif .

Do you know where you got them from?

I also like the de-badged grill but where did you get the bonnet from because i was thinking of putting a de-badged grill on but it would leave a semi circle on the bonnet where the badge would go.

Nice car as well mate. biggrin.gif

Cheers mate, For the taillights check out www.rennsport.co.uk, and i got the grill here aswell, but u'll have to weld a piece of metal into the hole left by the original badge. And for the headlights if I'm remember right it was www.orange-tuning.de

Hope this helps!
lee9n
Cheers mate you've been a great help, am going to check these websites out which you said.

Not sure about the welding part sounds a bit tricky confused.gif

Thanks biggrin.gif
Gav9n
My new wheels, hopefully get them on the car soon, just waitin on my adapters!

The best i could do with my crappy camera!

Enjoy!






Gav9n
After waiting ages for my adapters finally got my wheels on, got some pics but had to take them with my crappy phone camera >>>

this looks lurrrrvly, rears stick out so much, whats the plan for those arches?
Gav9n
will was talkin to a guy that knows what he's talkin about when it comes to arches and he said he could roll the front ones and maybe beat the back ones out, or else maybe have to do a bit of surgery to them and weld a bit or two on!lol! lol.gif
indy231
Get those arches pulled and modified then it will look sweet.

I still don't understand the obsession with wide steels though. Why not wide alloys?

Yea mate can't wait, should look good! Indy231 becos wide steels look different, I'm sure people have said y does ur car have orange wheels and an orange badge, but i understand that its just becos u wana be different, like i did in my wheel choice. biggrin.gif

nick0323
Nice car! what make are the angel eyes and where did you purchase them from?
PSWPolo
Sorry most of the modifications aren't to my taste but the wheels are certainly interesting. lol.gif
They are too wide at the back but if you're going to modify the arches fair enough.
How did you get AP Coilovers to go down 100mm aswell?
karmv8
nice car.. sun strip is waaaaaay too low for my taste but is nice car.. put some HIDs on!
Gav9n
@ nick0323 - got them of orangetuning.de, cant remember the price
@ PSWPolo - yea got the arches rolled sticking the pics up now, i took out the rear couplings its sittin at like 97mm, close enough to 100!
@Karmv8 - sun strip was taken off a while ago and yep I've got the HIDS on!

josh_dons89

PSWPolo
When you say rear couplings what do you mean? I took out the adjusters on mine but they're only supposed to go 75mm down I thought?!
And how low are you at the front? Again, when I bought mine it said maximum lowerage at front 90mm.

long long story, bought the 5x112 and was told they where 5x100, but before checking this id had them painted and tyres on so basically thot id just stick a set of adapters on, but with 9.5's on the back and 20mm adapters it just had mad poke, so ordered a new set from widewheels, but they weren't goin to be here in time for edition38 so bought another set and am happy with my white set! told you it was a long story!

yeah i took out the adjusters, are yours AP coilovers, honestly its down 90mm least at the back from the original ridiculous height it was sittin at, + a bit of grinder work took a bit literally a cm of the spring to get it down a wee bit more..but the springs are coming out and I'm turning into a fag bagge next year!haha cant wait pishhhhh (thats the sound btw) cool.gif
B-shaw
This is epic dude! Love it.

Spotted it in your avatar on a post, had to hunt it down lol.gif

Good work, not a big fan of these newer shaped polos but you seem to know how to pull it off thumbsup.gif
Gav9n
cheers buddy, its been alot of hard graft with this motor but still more to come!

just measure the longest and widest part of the tail lights and add one a few mm either side, when your applying the film heat it with a hair dryer as you go, does a better job!
