MK3 Polo project

Featured Replies

My first car, 1.3 1994 polo. with a sunroof ;)

got some ATS Cups to go on and planning to get 165/50/15s for a nice stretch, an lowering it 40/40 or 60/60, depending on what it will allow.

Then just think of some more detailing stuff to do, and maybe one day tan suede interior?

Tell me what you think =]

looks a good clean car, not sure how low you will get of 7j wide cups though even with 165/50s

Looks cool 8-)

It'l look boss with the ATS Cups and that tyre combo.

I was running the same and had no rubbing problems, with an 80mm drop. But i did have to remove the arch guttering and roll, cut my arches.

I think you can go 60/40 with the cups no probs

I had 15x7 with 70mm all round and 20mm spacers at the rear with no hassle.

anyone got any nice wide 13s or 14s?

got about £200 to spend.

lets see what you got 8-)

Nice mk3 welcome to the forum!! I miss my mk3, I sold it cause it failed MOT.... I miss her. :(

I'm sure there used to be a red mk3 coupe with cups and 165s that was really quite low. Maybe around 60-70mm. Looked awesome.

cheers mate. you should buy one back :D

now sold the cups, on the look out for some smaller, wider wheels :D

in the meantime, has anyone got any of the trims that came off the mk4 polos? like just the centrecap ones? cant find them anywhere.

and yer iv seen that red one, its not actually that far from me i dont think. its mean. he said it was lowered 110 tho, is it possible to go that low? :retard:

moneys tight but will keep you posted whenever something changes, and if anyone has some cheapish wheels or the hubcaps let me know :D

I plan on buyin it back, I've been saving for a 6N2 for months now and decided............ I don't even want a 6N2 I want my 86C back. :( It is possible to go 110mm yea, a 100mm drop and 10mm lowering caps, PhilJ sells them. Good luck fitting wider wheels with that drop lol. 70/60 is usually spot on, pity theres no cheap coilovers.

the poke looks more than it actually is lol

worked out a plan though coz its only the fronts that poke out so i turn the wheels to the side when i get pulled (Y)

but yer when its lowered i think some arch flaring is needed

Will look good when you've got it lowered. Those Wellers are a bargain at £180, I've been looking for a set around that price for ages!

garanteed they came off a 6n, my mate jake used to have them on his gt! good progress

if you ever think they are too wide I'm always happy to swap my set of classics for them :p 13x7
