right ow heres the polo not much done modify wise yet but just been taking vw main dealer stickers off and de badging but when i get some cashh this thread will be more interesting i promist haha

here's the car when i first had it :) decided to take it for a drive couldnt believe how comical the body roll was in it due to the ride height

lol just uploaded this pic coz it looks like its flying slightly

PVW sticker added so that people dont expect a granny to come wobbling out with a stick outside tesco's :-D

decided that the polo badge needed to come off so a bit of dental floss and some compound and polish later

sinclaire vw window sticker had to go tbh made the car look s**t

thats all for the moment but wheni get some cash you will see some more drastic mods

1st on the list though has got to be fk highsports and borbet A rims :-D or possibly ATS cups

Borbet A's will look mint

Edited 16 July, 201016 yr by DubVirgin

yeah they will :-D only troble is moneyyy

can only seem to find them around the 700 mark with tyres

I've seen them go for about 4-500 on good ol' ebay. That's with tyres.

Lowering should defintly be first, you can always cruise on stealies Mines lowered 40mm and still looks shite! Handles brilliantly though.

Oh, and an idea for the back badge. Maybe colour code the centres then paint the logo black?

decided to black the badges today :-D so heres how i got on :-)

badge off thanks to some dental floss

giving the badge a wet rub down coz the paint comes out a lot smoother this way "I hope"

Badge masked and primered and ready for black

Badge Black 1st coat

2nd coat of black

front grill off ready for front badge to come out :-D

Looks good, but it would have been a lot easier if you'd taken the badge apart to paint it :p

Any idea how to take it apart coz it seems to be rivited do you have to drill them or something ??

You can either drill it or melt the bits where it's held together (I used a lighter) and then it will pull apart

If you're doing the front badge too, then what I did to get mine apart was slide something between the VW and back parts and carefully go around and prise them apart.

Ok i'm pretty crap at trying to explain things But hopefully that helps a bit!

cheers man that was a great help

liking the different colour's aswell man and will deffo take that into consideration :-D :-D

right ow so i decided today that the rear wiper had to go

so i got to work on removing it

only trouble is now does any one know where i can get a plug from ??

I have one on my car, but it came with it. Shouldnt be hard to find a gromet to fit that hole though.

Should paint the middle of the badge silver to match the body, the parts that you masked. Looks alot better already though.

Also spotted that Beetle in the back ground

Halfords is a good place for these plugs aparently :)

Right ow I shall try halfords tomorrow :)

haha yeah the bug is my sisters restored it for her about 5 years ago shame about the colour though

Does anyone know the size of the gap on the 6n2 ??

went to halfords yesterday and found the right grommet straight away

fits a treat :-D

was thinking of taking my wheel trims off and just cruising on steels but it just looks terrible haha

i think it would look better if it was lowered on standard steels coz i saw a lupo with standard steels and lowered yeterday and it looked pretty cool :-D

Mine's lowered 40mm and still looks far to high. I'd go 80 to start with, get some coilies, that way you can always go lower

I've jsut got a set of 14'' steelies for my car, while I refurb my Wolfrace (halford!) wheels! Until I can afford something nicer.
