Cheers dude! Coilovers are on there way. Just need to get hold of some TT comps

Need some help for wheel ideas! Finding a set of tt comps is becoming harder than i thought !

To be brutally honest I'm glad your having trouble finding tt comps, they have become far to common on 9n's and 9n3's, they just dont do it for me now, Not suree what you could put on there but theres alot of options, maybe look at some mercedes wheels or something like that, just try find something different.

I know what you mean but i still love em :-)

I want something with the right stud pattern so i dont have to mess about with adaptors etc

Just becoming hard to think of something that looks good

UPDATE :

Coilovers arived today. Ill be fitting these with my mate at the weekend.

The wheels will be refurbed by jimmy some time at the end of july but for now I'm just going to put them on as they are.

Whaaat coilovers are those? how low will they go?

They're raceland coilovers off ebay. They were £162 delivered and alot of people on edition say they go lower than the hottuning ones

I've seen a 9N3 with the rims I've got on so its no suprise anymore :(

Never mind, here they are...

wheels look good mate, what you doin with them pal, or they staying like that?

Going to leave them silver until the end of july when jimmy is going to paint them. Colour coded centres and silver rims and inners

Small update:

I purchased a GTI grill and fitted it last night. I've removed the GT part of the badge and replaced it with TD from the boot.

I've also dewipered and removed the badges from the rear.

Fitting wheels and coilovers on monday...

Coilovers are now fitted after a few hours, plenty of swearing and sweating and some blood! Worth it though

My D90s are on the back but i need to grind a bit out of the front pads as the adapter wont sit flush on the hubs.. when the adapter is tightened up the front brakes are on slightly :( A job for tommorow..

Pics to follow tommorow

Wheels are now on.. Coilovers fitted.. Feel like I'm getting somewhere

I had 165/40/16s up front and i took them off straight away as they didnt look right atall, and repalced them with 195/45s

(The back is now lowered more since these photos, will upload new ones soon)

A shot with the 165s:

And one with the 195s:

you've ran a peacock over in that pic mate, car looks good with the rims, need more lows on the back though

Looks goos

You are gunna start a craze though now. Before it was having shoes in the pic. Now everyone is gunna be getting peacocks in the pics

Thanks :-)

It just randomly went and sat infront of my car

The back is down more now as i took part of the adjusters out.. sits just right now imo, will get pics up soon.

Well here it is..

Just got it back from the bodyshop, gave it a wash and a layer of Dodo juice :grin:

Let me know your thoughts, good or bad

Lookin smart fella, 3 cylinders all the way! I reckon some GTI headlights would be a good look.

Thts my next plan. I was going to split and paint mine but I'm just going to buy some gti ones as its less effort

Update:

After a quick trip to JBS in Chesterfield my Polo is now remapped Feels alot smoother and pulls better.. Never going to be rapid but its nippy now , Highly recommend JBS :-D
