no mate you can, from polo performance, they're fully modified replacement struts..not cheap tho dude.

Where are your wheels from??? They look sweet. Wouldnt mind some like this on my Baby G!!! I think you are car looks awesome. Good job done and so much more satisfying when you have done the work yourself. :-D

looks awesome dude, could go a bit lower, still loving the car.

A tip when taking artsy pictures of your car is to use your car as the main focus in the picture, yes the scenery and background has to be nice / interesting, but you need to make your car the main focus of the picture!

This one is perfect...

erm, I've had 115 out of it but I've only got 4 gears so

its seems quite rapid to me but its my first car so i haven't had any experiance in faster cars lol

You do know that Polo speedos are very in-accurate. And by the sounds of things yours is worse than any I've ever experienced.

why are they? Mines axactly the same as my sat-nav when iv got standard steelies.

I know most allways read a tad over what your going like.

What size tyres is that though? Standard factory sizes have around 5-10mph underead compared to the sat nav depending on what speed your doing. I've had this in all my polos and thats 6 so far

my wheels are second hand mate, found them through edition 38 :thumbsup: glad you like the car :) and when you say done the work yourself do you mean buying it standard then modifing it rather than buying it all done?

I'm looking into them coilovers to get it lower, can you get air for this shape? and yeah i get what you mean about the photos mate, but i only had my phone and it was such a nice day i couldnt resist :p i'd like to get a proper camera, slr or something (:

nice car mate, the arch gap on 13's is gay tho! coilovers are the only way really...just pricey!

Not necessarily, coilovers won't let you drop it any further than how far I'm down now... you need the struts to be shorter overall.. those PP coilovers won't do it! :-(
