well, i bought a silver mk4 polo with 130k miles, lots of service history, half a year mot and tax for £600

future plans: mk5 rears, banded steels of some sort, bonnet bra!

this is how it looked when i picked it up:

and this is how it looks now:

any comments wellcome, good or bad!

them multispokes actually dont look to bad.

Chris

i dont really like them. too big and look a bit chavy

but will have to do untill i can afford something better!

That looks proper sweet man! Nice lowage too!!!

like how its lookin man...the rear lights look better too..nt too keen on the lexus lights myself but tht my opinion lol..what size engine u got in tht?

cheers

cheers both!

and i hated the lexus lights too ahaha

and only a one litre, couldnt afford anything else on insurance as I've only been driving for 4 months!

lol...oh cool yeah fair enough..kinda wish i got a 1.6 now bt nt sure how much more it wudda been on the insurance. wasnt rle lookin for anythin too expencive tbh.. think the banded steels would look sik..u got coilies on ther?

Definately an improvement

I agree with parfay about the wheels, think they look pretty sweet... Get some spacers for the rear

spacers def...

a nice 16v rear bumper and 6n2 rear lights mate and your onto a winner ...

not many people do the multi's be a nice change from the norm i reckon m8.

Chris.

do the 6n2 rear lights fit straight on the 6n??

cheers

definately after a 16v bumper, as someone hit my bumper a few weeks back, and cracked the one side :(:(:(

and i got spacers on the front, as the camber was making the tyre nearly hitting the springs!

and yeah I'm on coilovers, just cheap raceland ones, but tbh there much better ride quality than i though!

cheers for all your comments :)

Your car is very much like mine sir, without the rust lol

looks nice mate :) big improvement aint it , how low have you lowered it with the coilovers?

i now have a small bit of rust appearing at the bottom of the drivers door :(

looks nice mate :) big improvement aint it , how low have you lowered it with the coilovers?

cheers bud :)

and I'm not entirely sure, its over half way of the coilovers but its just the 15 inch wheels stopping me

after i get some 14inch i may think about going lower :)

nice and clean pal, wheels arnt that bad

do the 6n2 rear lights fit straight on the 6n??

cheers

you have to change the wiring a bit, and if you want them to sit flush with the boot you have to drill larger holes and trim the lights down :)

nice and clean pal, wheels arnt that bad

cheers bud, and i suppose there okay, i just realllly want some banded steels! aha, anyone have a rough price on standard 6n banded steelies?!

small update - stubby aerial and tracking/camber sorted!

no pictures as isnt much difference! aha

new picture, cars filthy!

strange pic the 6n behind looks tiny! Oh and your streets look so much like the ones near where I live!

i think mine was parked much closer to the camera!

and thats not my street, i just drove past and saw that polo, and knew it belonged to a boy in the year below me!

Looking rather good mate

How low are you at the front? And I see you have mudguards, do they scrap everywhere, as I am considering whether to keep mine or get

rid when i go lower :p

Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure dude! ahaha

and yeah they scrape everywhere, but i kind of like it going over an uneven road and seeing people stare lmao

cheers mate

Sweet polo dude ! Silver polo's ftw :p you know when you took your Side black bump strips off did any paint come with it ? i want to do mine but I'm afraid of ruining the paint work lol :)
