Ok. Here it is now finished! I think my brainstorm a few years ago seems to have paid off even though it took me pretty long to finish it due to a lot of other projects etc. with higher priority....

I have a feeling I will have to turn to the front now and also make this as planned...? :)

Yesssssssssssss!! Is it going to be like a mk5 gti on the front?

Thanks!

Yes, it was the original plan and I will stick to it. The front will be based on a few Audi parts though. Allready got those. I dont promise anything regarding the timeline though...

My job will be moved closer to home within a month so I will be using the Aircooled VW more during summer so who knows...

Yes, it is still running.. And now it is again that time of the year...

The original frontbumper was injured in battle the past winter and yesterday I took me the time to strip it all out in the front...

And dig out the old Audi bumperparts I bought a few years ago... :)

Looks like it fit like a glove dont it?

Dont worry... It will not look like an Audi that have shrunk in the carwash with oversized "rabbit teeth"...

The cutting have allready begun!

So, now the grill is in one piece again.. Only 12cm narrower...

Mocking up the first half of the new bumper..

Been trying to figure out a solution for the grille and badge the past weeks.... I cut out the dual ring logo today ans cut it up for making a round logo. I then remembered the Polo original grille... tested welding some scrap parts from each grille and realized that they melted nicely and strong together....



So at first I planned to just adapt the logopart but then got carried away in the cutting....



And here the Original grille finally is adapted to the Audi grille...

That's incredible dude. I was wondering how u was gunna sort the badge and uve not just done it but made it look factory.

Now the grille is done!

Next is to weld the two halves of the bumper together again in the middle. Then start cutting and preshape the bumper around the headlights...

This is sooo close to being done!

Now the bumperhalves have joined together at the bottom too.. Next is to cut some around the headlights and fabricate mounts for the bumper. After this I can finish off the transition form bumper to wings. And when the bumper is finished and mounted I only need to stretch the front hood to meet the grille..

Started cutting around headlights and reshape the corners today.

haha i love this

Now it hangs there.. Next is to reshape the sides to match the fenders and around the headlights... :)

Then finally stretch the hood.

Better picture. Now just working on small detailling almost not visible.

Been mostly working on detail welding and heating and shaping lately..

This is great! Amazing how you're making nu-wave styling work on a little old 6n :)

This is too good man.

Sorry to say this but I sold the Polo 3-4 weeks ago unfinished due different reasons. Anyhow I did repair the rust issues it had before I MOT'd it prior to the sale. Sold it within an hour after I put it for sale on a Finnish vwtuninggroup on Facebook... The new owner have now painted the front and fitted the chrometrim on the grille. Still original lenght on the enginelid. But looks like the chrometrim lines up pretty nicely with the lid... :)

Well. All I can say is that it looks like my brainstorm did actually work in real life too...

what on earth. haha!

Shame it came to end I remember you starting all this a couple years ago, whats next???

Yes, some times one just have to set the priorities right.. I must stay focused on this now over the winter, hopefully finish it for next season.... :)

The 6n was taken to the future with that mod. Looks quite good.
