Figured it was about time I posted up some pics of my 9n project to show you the different stages and looks it's been through.

Here's how she was when I got my hands on her. Standard 2003 52 plater 1.2 SE spec :) with only 17k on the clock.

Next I decided the standard 14" rims NEEDED to be changed, so i took a trip down to my local VW specialist and came away with some fabia VRS rims, replaced the Skoda caps with VW ones and the car looked like this.

Eww... standard ride height, so I bought some eibach pro springs.

Also did a few other little mods at this point, ICE was installed in the form of a pioneer headunit and alpine components in the front and back, fitted in standard locations. This was finished off with a 10" Vibe active sub. The rear lights were tinted GT style and a chrome grille added. I also fitted my front fogs at this point too.

So the car looked like this at this point...

Still not happy with the look of the car, I bought some new rims.

mmm dish :)

Then had some colour coding.

But.... she was still too high, especially to pull off these new euro style rims. So coilovers were ordered and fitted :)

Here's how she looked at VAG 08

So.... I was happy with the exterior at this point... but the interior needed something.

TT seats and a nice OEM gear knob I think, not forgetting the TT pedals too.

I was happy for a couple of weeks at this point :)

Till I was offered these...

I ran them for a week before I decided to change them

So they came off, fabia's went back on whilst I worked my magic on the comps!

No turning back now!

After a couple of weeks polishing and painting the inner spokes....

Quite pleased with the results :) so tyres were ordered and fitted

This is how she's sitting at the minute, notice the genuine VW GT rear lights.... not cheap!

Next up, rip it all to bits, respray, big brakes and a BAM conversion with a 6 speed LCR box. Standard KO4 mapped to approx 280bhp.

nice, like the sound of the bam etc

my 9n's getting a full makeover over the course of winter.

I was wondering when this would turn up in the reader's rides

Liking the style keep it basic and minimalistic would suite top marks on the alloys

thanks guys, she's getting a makeover soon enough too! My mate lilmicky's gonna be doing a full shoot on the car, plus he's got some sick ideas for it. Keeping with the OEM kind of theme. I'm also thinking about a rear seat delete kit from a TT quattro sport.

Loving this.

I wanna get some of these rims for mine.

Are these seats easy to fit in?

Hi,

the seats are not a straight fit. You need to make your own sub frames.

Hi there! Nice wheels!

Does the GTI sideskirts fits exactly on the car? Doesn't they go a litlle bit off the car limits on the rear arch?

Hope you understand my doubt

Cheers

Loving the look of the car mate.... :-) specially the seats...

The sideskirts fit exactly with no problem....well you'll have to buy the fitting kit as well from VW......basically the fitting kit comprises of two retaining strip, four adaptors, and self tapping screw......

No problem with the limits......no scrubbing or touching of the rear wheel.....

KJ

Thanks for the reaply.

My doubt is due to some other projects that i've seen, with the gti sideskirts a little bit off limits, like this:

'click'

they fit like that on the 9n3 gti!

Mine fit exactly like they do on a 9n3.

love your polo, but I'm not a big fan of mk6

love your polo, but I'm not a big fan of mk6

That's probably the best compliment of them all tbh :)

thanks mate. I've made a few little changes to the car and i'll post some pics up ASAP :)

:)

dude, you need to find that pic that I took when i was in shauns car of yours rollin... get it up!! looks fucking sweet.

Polo looks class. Just wondering how much it costs to get that "colour coding" done??

Thanks in advance
