Nothing too exciting has been happening lately, but just a bit of an update...

New Audi S2 master cylinder to finish off the brake conversion. The brakes actually work as well as they should now :lol:

As it was when I got it

Fitted with new copper lines as the outlets on the S2 MC are on the opposite side to the standard GTi one

All finished with the Polo resevoir fitted

Cheers mate. I've got S2 front calipers with Pagid pads and Brembo Max G60 discs, with an S2 master cylinder. The brakes were alright before, I never thought they were bad anyway. But they are a lot better now

wheels and bmc look dope!

majorly jelly of this car

I've seen this at VWFestival today and it looked brilliant!

I had a look at the interior, and was wondering how did you spray the interior light surround black, but leaving the drawings white, if you know what I mean?

saw this at VW festival... was having a good nosey around :) . i now want your boot build !!

Thanks mate.

The interior light is from a Lupo GTi, they're not that easy to get hold of second hand though

The boot build might be for sale in the winter ;)

Actually love your car, 2nd time i've gone through all the 15 pages to admire it :)

Cant wait to get mine now and hopefully get to see yours properly.

Keep it up :)

Haven't updated for a while, but...

Before Edition I spent some time just tidying up a few bits on the car

Repainted one of the mirror bases as the paint had gone a bit funny

Repainted my mirror covers

IMG_0306.jpg

Fresh coat of paint on the calipers

IMG_0317.jpg

Put some more paint on the barrels to tidy them up

That's pretty much it for the minute. I bought myself a little Lupo as a daily, so I've been busy getting that tidied up, then the Polo can go in the unit for winter and work can begin ;)

The boot build might be for sale in the winter ;)

You may have to get in touch when you want to sell that boot build then ... pretty please :)

This car has what I believe the kids call "Swagger Jagger" doesn't make sense to me but I think applies in this situation. (I'm 19 so not that old really)

Car looks great! Like everyone else says it gives you inspiration to make your Polo look as good as yours.

What other plans you got?
