nice for first car car dude! congrats :thumbsup: not sure about the orange bits though, not sure how its gonna match anything?? keep it smart n simple! not many modded polo's in that colour! :)

nice car!!!! 1.4 open air - how much you pay for that??

dude as much as i hate to say follow the trends...do not color code your splitter and handles with your indicators!!!! orange FTL!!!!! imo!

put some clear repeaters and indicators on it! get a set of coilovers and some nice alloys.

really do love this car - 5 door open air - love it!!!!

Nice - deffo go with the orange bits! Not to everyone's tastes but I say do it!

5 doors FTW.

cost me 1500, which was quite expensive tbhas it does have over 100,000 miles, but i got it from a small car dealer who was a genuinely nice guy, replaced the windscreen and put in a cd player for free aswell.

I'm not sure on the orange yet, some say it cood be cool others say 'y wood you do that' but I'm hoping people will give me a few more ideas etc.

anyway thanks for the comment!

i say go for it aswell but not the splitter and handles. i'd do the mirrors and some nice wheels done orange ( i know everybody does the mirrors and wheels but it looks good!) i cant see the splitter working tho

i was thinking of various things, due to insurance i wont be getting any nice wheels any time soon, however was thinking orange lips on the steels. i like the normal low, wide, deep dish etc. just looking to try summink different. also i dont see many people with painted splitters. but tbh its my first car so I'm not too fussed about how it looks.

thanks to all for the input tho

more comments the better!!

remember to think about these things thourghly (sp?) dont just do something you might regret 5 minutes down the line just cos you want it done now, you know what i mean? i went down that route, and its taken me way too much time to get the car how i want it rather than just taking an extra few weeks to think things through :lol:

ats classics - painted orange...theres a couple of cheap sets on the for sale section at the moment...think that has possibility..definetly not the splitter and handles tho...how about the roof?? :-s dunno but i like the minimal look and this car is a lush colour and would look nice with very little done to it!!

yea i understand what your saying, i have been thinking of ideas for a long time. I've been a member on here for a few months, before i even had a polo, just becuase i loved the look of them.

i cant get an alloys atm because of insurance, i am only 17!

classics? I'm not too keen on, i much prefer ats cups

whatever i do it will be simple, still need to take the side strips off, which i heard can take hours!

thanks for the comment

nice and clean polo :)

i´d prefer the read rearlights of the 6n facelift.great color by the way :)

Really nice colour got loads of potential like get it on its arse next

a valver bumper would be nice, however getting it the right colour could be awkward, will have to get one sprayed i suppose.

will hopefully lower it, but not till next year as I'm only 17 and insured with direct line, who say no mods!! grrr

i will do as much as i can, just along as it doesnt affect the insurance

Looking good mate,
