It's in its colour, in the sun during daytime:

And at night inside to fit an RS to see how the arch-work looks, results are good, it's hard to stuff 8,5J wide 16 inchers on a mk4 Polo, especially since it rotates without rubbing with the airride completely down B)

Sorry Ash, like you stated, great minds tend to think alike. So whenever an idea pops up, go for it instantly and beat the other great minds too it! :lol:

Haven't got a clue what the actual name of the colour is, but it does look similar to Russ's mk2 with the mica red on.

Ask him yourself and see a man get weak in the knees thinking about that question :lol: luckily all can be done in the garage/workshop which is run by the family, so that saves time and money and has enough skill filled in that single building 8-)

Aw man either way looks gorgeous, loving the red should of told him to do it Yellow ;)

one of the best polo's, end of.

so niceeee

Top work.

Look forward to seeing back on the road

the new colours not as special as the old one :ninja:

^^^^ disagree entirely...the new colour is gorgeous and looks awesome on the wheels

think he should do the wheel bolts that colour aswell and thatd really tie it in or maybe change to some gold bolts =D

i personaly prefer the old color, but thats MY OPINION, so no1 can say I'm WRONG LOOL

there's no chrome anywhere, well, just the BBS split-bolts, but every other shiny item/piece of metal is ball-polished / tumble-polished, I don't know what the exact word or term it is in English, but we Dutch call it "hoogglans verdichten" (Google-Image it)

Basically you put your metal stuff in a sort of tumble machine, which is filled with small plastic flakes, and let that tumble overnight. It smooths the surface of the metal object just like polishing it, but in stead it doesn't have those tiny grooves in it from sanding it down like happens with polishing. Plus it's more durable and requires less cleaning up and re-polishing like regular polished metal items need.

is this expensive to do? Does anyone know whether they do this in England??

yeah speak to the polisher about this!
