I'm not entirely sure even though I put them on but I think it may be 60/40, I would love to go a tiny bit lower on the front but dont want to cut springs or anything like that.

Well going down the road today in the wet when a fow went out into the road, I put the brakes on the fronts locked up around a corner so i ended up hitting a hedge, bending the car slightly and destroying most of the left front side of the car

ahhhh gutted mate. hope its not to bad fella- smart motor you had there. it fixable? chassis leg not bashed bad is it?

bad times mate. atleast noone got hurt.

yeah I'm glad no one got hurt or anything but i think sometime this week I'm going to have to peel back the body parts to see how far the damage goes hopefully all it will need is all of the front panels replacing but theres a dent in the roof and the right sill is slightly bent too. i'll try get round to putting some photos up this week too

not really fixable

How big was the hedge?! :shock:

it was a rather substantial hedge and i kind of bounced off of it and ended up facing the opposite direction

Shit the bed!

Was the hedge made of bloody large trees and concrete?

Props on creasing the roof - I'm surprised the rear tyres didnt pop mate as youve hit that well hard!

What a waste!! Gutted man!

Shit son!! Good effort !!! Lol

Well... what bad craic.

Was reading through thinking, woah that's lovely! then, oh oh an ABD engine conversion, sweet..

Then bam!

At least the wheels look salvagable? And the interior etc.

Bad times

Was a beautiful car. Although you can pretty much straighten and repair anything with time and money. Id say that is well and truly wrecked IMO.

Main thing is your ok, it could have been so much worse.

i really want to just buy another mk3 and change the wheels, suspension and interior over as I thought it was lovely to drive but its hard to find one in the same colour

Gutted for you... Good luck finding a new one... there was one for sale around my end that colour for ages! not that that helps...

Pm 'Yeti' I think he is selling one that exact colour! :)

I'm selling the parts for this soon to try and fund another car so i was wondering would anyone on here be interested in the seats, they will fit into a mk3 or mk2 polo and the rear bench has had its frame changed so the bench will fit in too

It's never nice seeing another polo smashed up like this. Chin up and find another one.

Oh man I feel for you on this one, had her looking sweet too! :(
