Hi all,

My names Luke (Kuszpit) i am 16 and i am newish to this forum and desided to add my thread of my car. My first car was a BMW e36 318is coupe that i boght off one of my brothers and modified it. I then check the insurance to find it would Be £2900 or £5773 so forget that and desided to buy a Vw polo 1.4 16v.

I looked for a while to buy a 16v and couldn't find any good ones in my price range. So i went for this one but managed to see the potential.

It sent me back £900 and £100 to get it picked up it had M.O.T till the end off the year and some previous mot's but no tax which didn't bother me cause am not old enough to drive anyway :p. Here are the pics advertised on Autotrader which attracted me too buy it.

Here is the only one i have of it first delivered.

I desided the first thing it needed was a wash but i checked to see if my windows went down and my drivers window regulator went. AHHHHH.

Seen as i was unable to wash it i removed my badges to paint the black and dewipered and debadged and removed the crap number plates and removed my seats to clean them and give the car a proper hover.

After that i started on the engine. It was well shagged and horibble so i soon sorted that.

Got sick of not being able to wash it so i washed it and insted of water to rinse it i just used a shammy to dry it off and then gave her a good polish with G3 compound and then some meguires on the bodywork.

I got bored of the interior (ALL THAT GREY) so i desided to remove my roof lining and my dash surrounds to make them A LITTLE DIFFERENT. LOL

I also removed my headlights to put them in the oven to make them e-code style.

I didnt think the indicators looked right so i bought e-codes from ebay and ripped out those horrible orange clusters in the side repeaters and put chrome bulbs in insted of the white.

The sunroof panel looked plane when i looked at the car from the outside and desided to checker it in black and red.

The brakes where wrecked so i cleaned up the rear shoes and bought new disc and pads.

Got a nice little net for my boot that i nicked out my auntys PT CRUSIER. lol

I took into account the DIY thread for door pins and bought some. They look great. after i fitted them.

Got my window fixed and desided to put in a cd player and modify my speaker covers and buy better speakers.

I didnt like the standard areial and am not keen on bee stings ones so got an audi style one.

Heres a few other pics i have left over.

Thats all for now folks.

I will be getting coilovers, porsche teledials, gti fron splitter, the dent in the wing fixed, 6n2 taillights, hid's and lots more.

Hope use like.

Comments welcome

GOOD AND BAD.

Remove the head lights and put in the oven for a couple of mins to loosen the glue and then seperate the lense. mask the inside and face of the lense with masking tape. paint the colour of your choice and reseal with glue. am sure theres a thread somewhere on here mate which goes into detail.

Well here is the shock.

I got boared and was going to retrim mine but i desided to see what it would look like spraye dwith a spray can.:p and it looked good and didn't even change the feel of the material as it soaked in to it. If i was you i would you extra strong spray adhesive or fabric clue from a home shop.

Looking good, nice clean example. Reckon you should spend a fair bit more time on that rocker cover though, get it too a nice mirror shine :)

Some very good work going on there, can i ask, what wax do you use and how do you get it to look that good?! what ddi you use on your rocker cover? excellent work mate id be really chuffed!

what, so u sprayed the roof linin with rattle cans???? its looks mint btw?? whats the feel like on it after it dried
