Here's a couple of pics of my new 1L 8v beast.

Any Suggestions (apart from giving it a good clean) are welcome.

thats cool wheels really suit it! space the rear wheels?

thats a nice looking car...shame its only a 1L :-D lol

well i drive a 6n wannabe euro car...so I'm gonna be a sheep and say "space the wheels,debadge and de-bumpstrip, debadged grill and slam it on its arse" lol

does that sound about right???lol

look in the mk4 photo gallery for some ideas but most is, as above

nice tho

sean

Cheers guys, was thinkin bout

- de-bump strip

- de-badged grill

- clear indicator lenses and repeaters

but thats what everyone does so i think I'm guna just get a black front badge and i might lower the back a bit more.

Thanks again for the comments! :-D

indicators, bumpstrips, white door handles.

Mine is pretty much the exact same except i'm running standard 13" steelies at the moment with some major droppage, it's de-bump stripped, debadged and i have the vw badges sprayed black, also got clear front indicators.

I'd say, de-bump strip, debadge, clear indicators/side repeaters, all red rear lights, white door handles then you're smooth as butter.

I dont want to take the bump strips off yet, i think they suit the wheels.

I want to de-clutter the front a bit, but i think the orange indicators work quite well.

Does everyone just want to have the same car with different wheels or something???

Am i just being lazy??

i like that "same car with different wheels" lmao!!! this guy just summed up the mk4 polo scene lol

serious tho..clears would look cool or maybe go smoke all round....black in pro lights with black indicators..smoked repeaters and smoked rears plus black badges

itd be different and you seem to like the things matching with your wheels..honestly tho, either color code the bump strips or rip them off!!!

youve just said yours is preety much the same apart from:

Wheels

droppage

bumpstrips

debadged

vw badges black

clear inidis

Unless I'm mistaken that is NOTHING like the other 6n n00b FAIL

EDIT: looks good, white 6n's are the future

I think the only colour mk5 rears works nicely on is white, the red just looks great on them!

Just give it a good wash and a polish, then dress the trim so all the plastics are nice and black. Looks cool as it is, I bet it rides ok too with those tyres! lucky! lol

do u mean because they're a bit balloony?

It does go round corners pretty well and the ride ent too bad either.

I wouldn't say they're balloons, just sensible. But yeah I meant theres a fair profile there to absorb the bumps, what size are they?

They're 185/50s mate, the rims are 14 * 6.5s

The tyres came brand new with the wheels so i couldn't be arsed to waste money on new ones.

What size would you recommend for the future??

i woudl leave the tyres at that size mate, they look fine and as you say they ride ok so no reason to swop sizes :-)

Yeh, I'm not really into the whole tyre thing.

Cheers for the comments!

My choice mods:

- Black front badge

- Pressed metal plates

Next

- White door handles

- Remove side repeaters (is this legal??)

- Remove side repeaters (is this legal??)

if it can be seen from the side yes, as a mk4 has wraparound front indis then i would say it was legal plus the rear lights are wrap around too so they can be seen
