Jambler's Progress Thread!

Featured Replies

Hello every one :)

i am new and thought i would make a progress thread for my polo.

well i have only just got the polo, only had it about 2 months, its a 6n2 1.4 16v.

i had a corsa C befor but wanted a change.

this is my old car:

8531125370a12467983813l.jpg

8531125370a12467983839l.jpg

8531125370a12467983860l.jpg

i spent a lot of time and money to make my corsa look like that.

so here is the new car, this is how it looked when i got it:

8531125370a12467983252l.jpg

8531125370a12467983606l.jpg

8531125370a12467983582l.jpg

then the moddin started :p

i got my self a GTI upper grille and fittted it:

8531125370a12467983626l.jpg

then got a bonnet bra:

8531125370a12467983680l.jpg

8531125370a12467983697l.jpg

next i took the badges off the back:

8531125370a12467983655l.jpg

so now the front looked like this:

8531125370a12467983726l.jpg

wanted it to look different so i got all the GTI lower grilles to match the top one and also fitted a GTI splitter:

8531125370a12467983742l.jpg

8531125370a12467983755l.jpg

so next on my list was I.C.E. i got all this to fit it the polo:

8531125370a12467983353l.jpg

i took it to a shop called Source Sounds to have it all professionally fitted.

then i wanted the car to have a better sound to it so i had a Corbra back box fitted, i had it hid away as i didnt want a tail pipe. had it fitted by ExhaustUK.

8531125370a12467983427l.jpg

8531125370a12467983446l.jpg

sounds reallllly good, not to loud aswel, just give a nice sound.

then i was lookin at other polo's on here and saw some one had sprayed inside the front badge, i really liked it so i did mine red:

8531125370a12467983275l.jpg

fitted it in the rain:

8531125370a12467983300l.jpg

8531125370a12467983330l.jpg

next it was time for some wind deflectors:

8531125370a12467983377l.jpg

so now it looked like this:

8531125370a12467983402l.jpg

now it was time for some new alloys, there was loads i wanted but then i found some Porsche Teledials

went to manchester to get them from jay, thanks again jay :)

so i got them fitted:

8531125370a12467983468l.jpg

8531125370a12467983495l.jpg

so now this is how my car looks 2day:

8531125370a12467983512l.jpg

8531125370a12467983535l.jpg

8531125370a12467983554l.jpg

well thats it for now.

8531125370a12479422470l.jpg

when i fitted the top grille i forgot to take the badge off, just never got round to doin it tbh.

Looks really nice mate!!

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!

Wow funny looking Volkswagen Corsa..

Polo is nice mate, but i'd take the GTI badge off as pretending to be something it's not is fail.

Otherwise very nice. Just get it low.

Another little update.

well other week i was washin car with the jet wash and i kinda blew the badge off the back so i thought while it was off i would spray it like the front one to see what it looks like, so here is a pic:

8531125370a12491531866l.jpg

8531125370a12491552542l.jpg

Also i had a pipercross air filter fitted, sounds reallllly good.

I got it off "MrP" (rich) who also fitted it for me and he also sorted my clutch out as i couldnt get it into reverse.

Would just like to say big thanks to rich again :p

Here are some pics:

if you take the rear badge off the back it all pulls apart, so like the silver trim bit pulls off so you can spray the centres and then stick the silver trim bit back on if you get me?

loving it mate!

thanks:)

well as soon as i saw teledials i fell in love with them so had to get my self a set :p

i got the gti front splitter from VW, cost around £50 new, but have a look on ebay or try scrap yards for a 2nd hand one.

Ah rite yeah a get you matey, just av tried it before looked like it dint come apart but al have another look lol. Cheers Josh. Car looking nice dude :-D

how easy is the fitting of the splitter? just unscrew and screw on the new one?

also you mentioned getting lower gti grills to match your upper one, I never knew they existed..only seen the diamond shape or foglights with the honeycomb

the splitter has two screws in it, one at each side, once you have took them off it kinda pulls off, took me about half an hour to pull the thing off.

and yes i got all lower GTI grilles, the GTI ones are honeycomb, then standard ones are just them diamond ones.

i just went to VW and got a GTI splitter and all lower GTI grilles.

hope that helps a little :)
