Got Creamfields coming up but after that going to start putting some money away and start buying little bits and pieces for my car

Are you laying dude? Trying to work out where my front wheels will sit when my struts turn up!

3-4mm left to lay. Theres still ways to go lower but I never bothered to get it done because car is coming off road soon. What set up are you going for?

Ah right fair enough. I'm having my fronts made for me, FK adjustable dampers, firestone bags, with lower bag mounts etc, rayvern rears, viair 5gal tank, 2x444c compressors, 1/2" manifolds x 4, 9switch switch box, waiting for the tank,comps,etc to turn up from the US. Just trying to workout how close my arch will be to my wheel once they're on so i can do the appropriate arch work now.

That head on picture

Pics for new page :)

Here's pic just to keep this thread alive.

This weekend I took a part of small charity event for blind children that my friend's family organised. Had a good day out and plenty of money was raised :)

This weekend I'm hoping to start working on the wheels.

Also need front bearings...spacers and camber is a bearing killer :(

So been working on my wheels as centres were in poor condition.

Rubbed down:

Primed:

Never got pics of them sprayed. Should be all done by the weekend.

What colour did you decide on for your centres dude? Look forward to seeing them!

Leaving them black. Doing them in gloss black.

One of my mates is looking to buy them off me and if so I have new set lined up for next season :)

Fair play. What're the set you're eyeing up, or are you keeping it secretive?

Gonna keep it to myself. It's only idea at the minute as I like to change my mind very often. All I can say is it will be splits..

Just a small update.

And also car needs to go to body shop. There are very bad marks on drivers side door from previous owners hitting door against objects when parked. And I'm getting it sorted only now even though it should have been fixed ages ago.

Wheels will be sold tomorrow. Car will be stripped and there's few new plans in my head. Was very close to sell the car but can't let it go yet.

Thanks for looking.

EDIT: Wheels are gone and car is in bits. Updates coming soon :)

Edited 8 October, 201213 yr by eddyb

Looking forward to the new wheels :)

Just out of curiosity, how much did you sell the wheels for?

Sold them for £450 with tyres.

To be honest I really want the same wheels that you have on your Mk2. Always wanted Th monos and would like to see how they look on my car. But haven't decided yet. Been looking at splits but would like to go for very simple but yet effective look. Chosing wheels is not easy :/

Thread has been dead for a while so will throw in random picture.

This is not what car looks like at the minute. It's in the garage in bits on rusty steels, two bearing gone, abs sensors gone and airbag light on the dash. Losing love for it at the moment and don't know if I will try to manage one more show season with it. No major plans for it before MOT time (February) apart from fixing it all up to get years ticket. Sad times.

Buy a sick set of wheels and spend time getting them to sit nice and you'll start to love it again, dont sell it!

Quick question where did you get your air ride and cost? Much appreciated bro

By sick do you mean expensive? Because I'm not planning to spend too much on it next year. I want wheels that would sit nice and would have right fitment. Would add few nice touches maybe and keep it simple and tidy. Also would love nice seats to go together with cage and false floor (no buckets).

Still would love those TH Comps <3 there's just something so cool about them :)

Great work,one of my fav polos :) any pics of under your false floor?thinking of doing something similar myself (just the boot though) and any ideas on the best way of doin it would be much appreciated.keep up the good work

nah man they don't have to be expensive, I much prefer subtle wheels that people wouldn't expect to see.. Or you could always buy a set of wheels that need a refurb and do them over winter?

haha yeah man I love them, theres a set of polished ones on edition for sale, not particularly expensive either...

Love what youve done to this mayte.

Looks spot on :)

I didn't know you could get centre caps for the cups

This looks amazing!! really nice work, got any photos of the boot build whilst you were making it?

Just read through you whole thread and I love this polo, I'm looking at getting some bullets for mine so I wanted to ask you how much the handling is affected with the front wheels cambered and that much stretch, I'm running the same stretch on my current front wheels but I just wanted to know if the camber makes it handle any worse??
