thanks mate! white on white is always a winner

nice mate why not go for the 16v rear, maybe get the tow eye smoothed out, its always a lot tidier than the 8v rear, and you can have piece of mind knowing that the 16v rear snt gonna rust like the 8v ones normally do!

what are the offsets on the hoops? are the rondell 085?

well I'm not too keen on the different ones on the front and back, if i do it ill have to go valver all round or 8v all round lol and offset is 45 i think and there rondell 38's quite rare in 4 stud 100 pcd apparently?

the only problem with the wheels is they take around 20 mins per wheel to clean and they get filthy sooooo quickly lol..ah well the price you pay for stlye :p

Jon

have you sealed the wheels up with anything??

get some jetseal 109.... once they have a few good coas on them they will literally rinse off with a jet wash!

i know your pain to some extent i would hate the multi spokes though hahahaha

heres a few updates to where she is today

just picked up some spanky electric mercades SLK recaro leather seats:

and got bored at work so made a replacement bonnet support in stainless at work

and i got bord so cleaned and painted the engine cover and bay:

and then i got bored this weekend, and realised that my merc seats dont have a recline function, so i thought what the hell, and removed the back seats, and replaced it with a shelf:

and covering the seat mount:

and the final result:

i then also changed all of my interior lights for ibiza onesand had a few letf over lol:

and heres how shes sitting today :)

looking great mate what's next on the list of things to do?

A polished rocker would help boost the look of the bay, this is my next area to tackle.

space those rear wheels out too or else!

love the seats! should look great in the car!

think I'm going for either a matte black cover or a polished one and matte black head with black block with a 4 branch in stainless should look nice and stealth.

iv got a MASSIVE list of things to do :) seems like some of them havnt been done on a polo as of yet so should look phat :)looking into some 20mm spacers for the back and maybe for the front too, but got to try some first to see how much arch work needs to be done lol.

but as for the plans, there staying under wraps until there done, so no-one thieves the ideas

Jon

Gonna be hard to work in the engine bay with that stainless support

but nah looks good mate, like the way this is going.

haha I'm a show whore :p but iv made sure to keep the old one in the boot for under bonnet work :p

That rear shelf is well neat! How did you get it so precise? Would love to get that done for mine, i would most likely fuck it up tho!

Wheels look great after the refurb too

lots of time cardboard, scissors and a knife (as you can see from all the card in the footwells!) :) i made a massive template and just drew round it onto the wood lol took me a weekend to get right tho, but I'm happy with it!
