lookin good mate :) slowly getin there keep it up

nice and clean mate

looks pretty sweet on the g60's too

keep it up

Didn't think G60's would work on a silver polo but this looks amazing.

Looks nice mate, very clean

Cheers guys. Yea, the g60's work with the car alot better than I imagined.

Looking good dude

So here are some pictures of the rears spaced out 20mm.

Removed one bumpstrip to find out that the paintwork is awful underneath, so that will be going back on shortly.

Got hold of some depo powerlooks this morning and fitted them today

Difference between old and new lights

Few more pictures

Gotta love steel wheels :)

You know it, steels FTW

Looks sick in this picture imo. Those lights really make a difference, love the nice clean black & silver theme.

looking very nice mate

looked pretty sweet with the mudflaps on too

if you dont mind me asking how much you pay for the powerlooks?

Cheers man, Wasn't too sure what direction the lights would take it but I think they have worked pretty well.

The mudflaps look alright, but cleaner with out them I think. Also they tend to scrape on hard corners on the floor :/ haha

Urmmm...Picked them up for £94....not tooo bad, whatcha think?

nice one ryan, what have you got planned next?

nice one ryan, what have you got planned next?

Not too sure, was thinking valver bumpers but thinking I'm gonna stick with the 8v ones for a while. Try and get the paint looking better, maybe abc pillar re-trim and some new number plates to clean it up a bit more. then maybe leave it untill I can think of anything else to get done to it haha

Getting onto my drive really takes it's toll on my sills

finally got round to sorting out the rust on the sill seem. Decided to smooth the seem off at the same time. just one side for the mean time. not sure how it will look when I spray it all home. DIY FTW. will get some pics when is done aswell

Few randoms

sooo...Progress has been slow. not allot happening. Should have some new wheels sorted in a few weeks (:

A couple of photo's masen got for me, drives a 6n2....he's about on here. :-)

pretty happpy I finally have some decent photo's haha

Ended up getting some wheels - porsche teledials 15" 7j et:23.3

no kerb marks (:

Test fit....

should sit pretty welll looking at this

will post pics mid way through refurb

Looks smart dude

You wanna drive on/off your drive at an angle, you wont have the sill problem then

This car is going to look sick with the teledials on, what colour you going with them? IMO they would look awesome gloss back but...

you'll soon seeee :) should be loooks good hopefully.

polished dish has been started

photos showing progress

this is what I had to work with......corrosion/pitting. not the best

that all came out an hour or so later..... hand polishing is not fun

gave up, waited for adapters and on the car the wheel goes and into 3rd gear

grades either 800/1200 some small scratches that will need taking out....more wet and dry to buy tomorrow to finish it off and get it looking mint :-D

how they were and how they ARE....not yet finished either :p

Also got rid of the rear wiper, no pics as of yet. we all know how it loooks. cleaned the back up abit.....possibly bootlid smoothing coming shortly, maybe.

Let me know what you think

I was thinking of that, but then on the other side of the slope/drive that goes onto the road it a fairly narrow drop sectioned curb.....not worth the trouble trying to avoid it. I can miss my sills if I aim with military precision

Nice job mate the car is looking sweet as. Can i ask what size tyre's you had on your steel wheels.

duuuude, the car looks nice a clean man... iv just got myself the same car lol! satin silver, 1.4 8v... when iv been looking down the pictures you have done EXACTLY what iv been planning to do, so weird. good luck with it mate!

Hi Ryan :)

Cars looking good man, can't wait to see what it looks like on the teledials.

We will have to find a decent location and go for a few pics when there on :)
