right guys I'm pritty bored atm so i thought it was about time i got some pictures up of the progress iv made on my gt after owning it for about 5 months, its currently off the road but should be rolling on august pay day

polo gt full history 2 owners from new brought for 800 with tax and mot

first thing to come was a badged grill, clear front indicators smoked repeaters and a nice set of pressed plates

after that was all done i got rid of the rear wiper took the catalist badge off and painted the gr badge

after a few week of looking though the forum i final decided what rims i wanted and offset etc

wheels came soon after, then i ordered some tyres on payday popped them on the rims at work

and i loved them lol

8j rear

7j front running on 195 45, continental sports

that night i got them home and put them straight on, dnt think iv eva got home frm work so quick lol

then i decided that i didnt want the gt arch kit lol i dont know why, but i decided i didnt like it so i ripped it off and also decided to drop the beasts so i got a 60/40 kit from phill j, the bumper is currently being smoothed, not sure if i like how its going though so might just get a new one and colour code it,

i got the car lowered and it sat just a lil to low, welll really really to low haha

took the hubs into work to fit the suspention, fitted new bearings, and painted the hub cos it was rusty lol

then got onta putting them bk on the car

the front looked awsum dropped

but when i cam to the back i did it a bit to low looked the dogs dangled but far to in practical

exhaust hit the drive as i came out thats why its bent lol sorted now though

and this is how she stands at the monent ladies and gents

Alll comments and sujestions welcome

btw I'm only 18 and this is my third car, i like this one though so plan on keeping it a while lol x x

i like it! loving the black rear badge.. a nice touch

cheers mate

Looks pretty good so far, for a mk3

Looks like you rushed home a little too quickly though and ran some poor old skool down whats happening in the background?

hahaha ! i was out washing my car after i put the wheels on and some guy has sweved to mis someone on his side of the road that opened a door and drove straight into someone cumming the other way, closed the hole road off, and i was just polishing my car lol

ooops!

yeah was closed for like 4 hours, gave me plenty of space ta polish my car in the middle of the road though lol

Looks loads better with out the plastic arches. Do you get any rubbing on the rears?

its off the road atm so not really sure only time will tell, iv brought it up a lil as u can see in last few pics, front rubbed i had to knock the arch lip up on the inside of the arch,

That's gonna be bloody cool when you finish them bumpers mate!! The mk3 Coupe's are a mean lookin car with smoothed bumpers, love the whole shape of the car, kinda like a Corolla Twin Cam or something but better looking.... That body filler is good fun to work with isnt it? I've been playin about with it in my free time and decided to completely debadge the rear bootlid and smooth some dents up on the doors.... I'm going for silver metallic and half-coded bumpers (no arch trim or side strips)....

You should finish colour coding the bumpers, black is one of the colours which looks better with colour coded bumpers, gonna be watching this thread cause thats a nice coupe!!

yeah mate the bumpers colour coding is the next thing on the list so keep and eye out man
