cheers, i am not too keen on the backbox either, i am hopefully going to sort it out soon. going to get it sitting higher and straight and then get the length trimmed down a bit and then it will look better

yeah definately. will be a winner when thats done..

Well, i was going to buy some coilovers this month, but after a call to the insurance i found out that it will be too much to declare them so i will have to wait till the summer when i have more no claims.

anyway, i wanted to do something to the car over the easter break and my wheels needed a good refurb due to me not being able to judge where the curb is properly lol

i sanded them down almost to the metal at some points the marks were so bad

Then the masking up

and the final product. I used Rover gunmetal grey if anyone is interested

I cant help but think it may have been easier to take the wheels off for a refurb! did make me LOL seeing the brake discs covered in tape and paper hahahaha!!!

Yeah it would have been easier to take the wheels off but i didnt have any spare wheels to put on the car or anywhere safe to leave the car jacked up while i painted the wheels

Even masked the floor ffs hahah!

i no, my mum had already screwed at me for leaking oil on the drive and i didnt want to add to the anger with paint haha

Should see the state of my drive! We dragged a scrap car on the floor across it hahah, that along with oil and burnout marks she loves us

Be thankful you have drives! Try adjusting coillies on a country road hahaha! not easy, especially when you get tractors throwing mud and hay all over the place hahahaha!

doing it on a country road does not sound fun at all. i think my parents would kill me if i dragged a scrap car across there drive haha

i can do what i like to my drive at uni though. the grass is ruined where me and my other housemate park our cars. i was actually stuck in the mud for 10 mins the other day when we had loads of rain and made massive holes. i will get a picture tomorrow

here is my grass in my front garden

and i have only just noticed that i have some camber on my front wheels, excuse the height, my car has been used like a van recently with the amount of filming equipment i have had in the back.

and a nice picture in the sun

and i miss read n thought he was gonna respray the car black... but i now see he was talking about the wheels!

yeah i was talking about my wheels, sorry if i didnt make myself clear haha

i got a new light surround as the clips were broken on my one and it just happened to come with a blackened light as well which goes with the headlining better

sorry about the crap picture it was dark and on my iphone

finally got round to sorting out my tweeters that have blown about 3 months ago

managed to get some kenwood ones off of ebay for about £10

A lot of people will be happy about this, i accidently ripped off half of the stickers from my dash so i decided i may as well take them all of the air bag part

in all honesty i do think it looks better to be fair

also got a wheel whores sticker to cover up the rust that is starting on my door too haha

and a final new sticker on for the back window

i will be starting on the list that i put up a while ago this week as i have a few days of work and uni now i am at home

I like this a lot and more so for the fact that is a four door . Respect for that my friend . Dave

thanks for the comment, i wasnt too sure about the four door to start but i love it now and it is so practical haha

nice picture after a good clean in the sun

Like what you did with the tweeters, i did the same i just replaced them with some 10cm speakers its a much better sound :)

yeah even though i only brought cheap ones they sound so much better than the sorry excuse of speakers vw put in haha

Had the back box raised on my car today at longlife. Only cost £40 to do so i am happy about that and i now have a lot more clearance

Before

After

The guy there said that the diameter of my exhaust is too large so i need to get a smaller one at some point, is this true or not? I currently have 2.5" pipes and he recommended 1.75" pipes

Probably 2" bore for a mildly tuned 16v.. looks good though.

Only one query, is the backbox leaning to the left?

i dunno why i only noticed when i got home, i may have to give them a ring and complain

seeing as though my car is being used like a van recently, i thought i would make it easier for myself and by some roof bars off ebay. its a good thing that polos are bigger than they look inside with the amount of camera equipment i have had in recently

Edited 4 May, 201214 yr by rozza92

was doing some more filming today and ended up using my car as a camera tracking car. it actually worked very well and wasnt too shakey despite being on coilovers on crap roads

thank god polos are quite spacious inside
