Nice Vw's; I've just bought a Polo Coupe Cl 1.3.

£450; alloys first then lowering it. Same idea's as you really.

G60 steelies.

What sort of lowering kit you going for? Full set with new shocks or just springs?

I've just replaced the front shocks as they were alittle spent.

But now, the dreaded petrol leak. :/

ahh nice, doesn't sound too bad once you got the leak sorted then ay :thumbsup:

I was gonna go with the G60 steels but i'd rather have 14" wheels instead of 15".

I reckon i'll go shocks and springs, just when i have the money. Either 40/40 or 60/40, undecided atm. You know what you're going for? and you got any pics up anywhere?

Not for sure yet, but first things first; SAVE. Haha. Skint.

The two idea's atm is either save for some nice alloys then, lowering springs, new black grill and uprate the sound system. (obviously once the tanks been sorted)

Or the other idea, lower it on steelies and put spacer's on it and then sound system.

Just there size is tiny. 145/80 r13 :/

Whats your plans?

Oh and here are a couple, 63,000 miles by the way.

haha same with me, I'm just selling anything i dont need lmao.

sounds nice, just keep in mind alloys will effect the insurance cos its a 'modification' apparently :x

white polos always seem to look good, you should post a progress thread for people to see as you do it up :thumbsup:

steels and spacers is what i was thinkin aswell, but i think i'll just forget the spacers now.

if you go onto your account into settings, i think there's a box you can click so you get sent an email.

all my plans have pretty much been said with my pictures :p

yeah i was thinking G60's but decided i didnt want 15" wheels, probs would have looked too big after lowering it aswell.

so i'm still on the lookout for something else!

you gonna get wheels or lower it first?

I really want to crack on with modifying it like now. And its going to be at least two months till a can afford the alloys. :/

So am thinking about fitting some springs, drop it 40/40 on the standard shocks. Swop to a clean grill, get a headunit then save for the alloys. But am worried it'll look shite with the standard dinky wheels. I mean, gotta sort the tank an'all; and the front shocks are abit spend so I've picked up a pair for £25 + £10 postage that a need to fit as well.

What do you think, about lowering it on the steelies?

i know what you mean, its annoying having it just sitting there not being able to do anything to it.

go for it, might aswell make a start, as soon as you lower it it'll completely transform it anyway. then get the few cheap things to make it look nicer before saving for the alloys :thumbsup:

Thats what a were thinking. Set a budget though.

Alloys with tyres - £400

Sound System - £250

Lowering kit; just springs - £100 or the full lot - £300

Grill, well thats a £25 job.

Just want to sort out the broken bits now. :/ And them little rust patches.

The grill, forgetting the postage costs.

And the sound system, priced all that up. I'm mad on sound! bass junkie.

And the lowering kits, I've seen a kit for £120, shocks & springs, just look crap though. Like they'd not last 5 minutes.

Whats this Philj kits like?

£150...?
