Featured Replies

hai guyz

this be my polo

where to begin, had the polo for about a year and a half now, some people may recognise it, so this is how it was last year for most of the shows...

just sat on some BBS RMs, council spec other than me painting them up a nice shade of Elizabeth Duke gold

i'v done a few bits other than wheels and coilovers, 6n2 rears, debadging, de wipering and removing sidestrips etc

but now iv decided its time for a change... so i sold the RMs and bought a set of Rota Zero Plus... yes, fake splits :( and a rep of Equip 01s, but needs must and all that,

its sitting very high right now, so needs to be dropped and get it sitting right.

theres a few bits that need sorting next other than the height issue. I have a new rear bumper sat waiting to go on, my old man decided it would be a good idea to use his barge as a battering ram against the poor polo, so i have a tidy scratch there for now. I'm also picking up my Momo Team 280mm tomorrow.

I'm kinda taking it into a 'JDM' direction, nothing more than inspiration tho, I'm in no way saying i have a JDM Polo :p

that is all, comments more than welcome and i'll update as much as i can if theres interest B)

anyhow! police took it off me last night for

too low

too much camber

too much poke

plates

too much stretch

so i collected it today, i just have to get it re-MOT'd, so onto some crap wheels and raised for a couple of weeks it is :ninja:

thanks for looking!

Since when can the fuzz confiscate your car on the grounds its "too low"? :lol:

Car's looking ace mate!

I thought about a set of these for mine, but wasn't sure how well they'd work.

They look cool though!

Never knew they could do you for that!

they stop you and check your car and insurance and all that where i live but the wouldnt take your car!

cheers dude! i was a bit worried about going from bbs splits to these as i wanted the real deal, as they're reps of equip 01s, but they're as fake as the jdm look i want to go for haha

yeah, they just decided to take it, makes it worse that i was just stranded in the middle of nowhere with a girl I'm kinda seeing, she wasnt all that impressed! LOL

yep LOL,

tbf, 165/50/15s on an 8j is pushing it... but oh well, needs to be mot'd again, only just mot'd recently... but apparently that doesnt count for them, but they want it mot'd again... WHAT?! LOL

nobody has ever died from stretched tyres. fact.

but yeah, they said they didnt like the look of it and said it wasnt safe. so was down to them, just a ball ache tbh

i also asked about Ferraris and the like... he said 'well they're built to be that low, Polos aren't' still makes no sense officer, my car is on TUV approved coilovers, which means i can use them on the road even at lowest setting, but you're going to take my car anyway, just take it.

the camber he just pointed and said 'your rear wheels are under so much strain from lowering that they stick out at the bottom, can you see that?'

'no, thats due to washers we put between the hub and axle' < what i wanted to say, but i just kept my mouth shut!

I'm all for saying fuck the po-lice an stuff but those fronts do look very stretched, I can understand why your average plod would deem them unsafe.

I'm running 165/55 on 8's an they look nowhere near as bad as that.

Apart from that, car looks sick :-D

What tyres are you gonna run instead?

stunningly simple motor pal, love it, smooth the front bumper or get an offset small insert for a plate, btw where did you get the cal plates done?

I love it, all but the stretch.

Fucking stupid. I'd be scared to drive it. Go fast round a corner and well, there go your rims :lol:

unreal polo mate looks the dogs!!

Looks quality 8-)

But I'm with B-Shaw on the stretch, or is it necessary?

Dude your polo is sweet as :) makes me want to go for a set of 01's...see if i can trade in the 03's :p haha

Top work bud, hopefully more to come after all of your police brutality

I'm still going to run the 165/50s tbh, but i have been thinking about 185/45s

stunningly simple motor pal, love it, smooth the front bumper or get an offset small insert for a plate, btw where did you get the cal plates done?

yeah, I'm planning on that, altho, i think I'm just going to run standard plates anyway

I love it, all but the stretch.

Fucking stupid. I'd be scared to drive it. Go fast round a corner and well, there go your rims :lol:

haha, i dont drive like a maniac tho, keep the pressure up on them and they're fine! :lol:

unreal polo mate looks the dogs!!

thanks mate :D

its the only way i can get as low as it is, seeing as they're 8j et10, and only way i can get all the tread under the arch

thanks mate, :)

looking at a pair of bride buckets and takata harnesses, that should be enough to complete the jdm look I'm going for, bring on the uni loan :lol:

one of the coolest polo's I've seen in a while....love every bit of it!!]

*and sick stance!!!
