Elliott's Mk5 16v Project......

Featured Replies

The day i got it from Peterborough car auctions for a bargain price of £2,200 me thinks :)

It's a Mk5 1.4 16v 75bhp, with Canyon Red paint i've been told!

85k When bought, nearly 90k now hehe! 8)

It has an electric sunroof and a 6 disk cd changer in the boot and kenwood 6x9s fitted in a stealth parcel shelf.

The car came with a k&n air filter thingy already fitted.

The boot was de badged, so saved me a job!

Now for some pics :)

The day i bought it, October 1st 2007 :D

I pretty much done all of this in October, i passed my test first time on the 1st November :D The plates were put on the 3rd November, and since then i haven't really done anything to my Polo!

Shocking i know!

Then on the 21st February i lost control and smashed into a kerb. I had split up with my gf the day before and had so much on my mind aswell as havin that to deal with! :x

I cracked my front drivers side alloy beyond repair. The rear alloy was scuffed alot but is fine. The impact snapped the bottom end of my suspension in half, and the drive shafts popped out :cry:

I also bought a strut brace from a guy on clubpolo. I decided to spray this matt black as it was chrome, and I'm not a huge fan of chrome in engine bays as such.

Pics Coming Soon

As i was waitin for the recovery truck guy to pick my car up, i thought hey ill spray my rear view mirror aswell! (I'd been looking for a black rear view mirror for AGES!)

Not bad eh :)

Looks like a tidy little project you got going on. Shame you bumped it though, doesn't look to hard to repair though!

I've got that airfreshener lol you bought that from Teso I'm guessin! nice colour! 8-)

hi mate,

your mods look realli similar to what I've done to mine.

i also past my test same time around you and got my car on the 1st of november, but mines is a 5 door summer blue colour, its the 16v though :)

liking what youve done the gti grill does really make the difference and its good that youve matched it with the bottom set of grills.

i would suggest getting some aero wipers, they really do make the difference, and so does the black rear view mirror. I've bin looking around for that, what did you spray yours with?

keep up the mods looks sweet, keep us updated

ill post some piks of mine really soon so watch out

JESUS thats one way to smash a wheel n snap sum sus lol...

looking good tho mate liking it even tho I'm not to keen on the colour lol

fucked wheel. ouch.

Nice colour! Like the little touches you've done. Shame the original wheels got damaged, I was gonna say slam it on them!

Lol i was gettin so bored at home all the time when not at work so i thought fuck it why not lol

And plus it was so filthy i thought the mechanic might of gotten annoyed lol :p

Really like it I would like exactly the same but in black of sky blue

what do you think to smoothing the front bumper and putting the number plate down the bottom

yea gonna smooth the front and rear bumpers but not till later on in the mod stages :D

savin for insurance first then its coilovers and some nice rims that i haven't seen on a polo before ;)

Nice car mate, like the colour aswell!!

I did exactly the same to my old golf mk3, thought it would be fun to drive my car in the snow :roll: it cost a fair old whack to get it fixed, about £450 iirc think it might of been a bit worse than that tho. learnt a lesson there tho.... Golfs dont handle in the snow (nothin to do wit my drivin skills lol)

Phat colour 8-)
