About time i updated this build thread after a good few months of nothing posted!

Had a few things done since the last post, had a payment through for the sale of some items so i was able to continue the project a bit further..

Firstly.. after some hard searching on ebay and such other sites (incl club polo) i actually managed to get hold of a full set of 16v Grills for the bumper, fitted these and soon after i actually got round to making my home made 'tilt-bracket' for the from licence plate. The plate sticks out away from the bumper a fair bit at the moment so i am going to cut the L-Brackets down so the shortest fixing holes meet together (shall upload pictures if needed).

After giving the car a good Autoglym wash, Super Resin Polish and High Definition Wax..

Check the reflection in that bootlid!

I also sent the wheels away for the lips to get polished to start the refurbish - Had them back in less than a week.. I shall get pictures up when the final thing is done

I accidentally on purpose bought a nice new set of coilovers (FINALLY!!!) the same day and they arrived in about a week and a half after purchase - due to the 'eCheque' clearance time-out..

Me and my mates fitted them today and got them all on and leveled to about the right hight - fine tweaking needed but its just testing at the moment..

My mate 'Justnikk' (club polo username) 6n2 with is Hanniba Lecter bra and my 6n :)

TAA DAA!!

Cars actually getting to a decent appearance now!

Oh yea, i fitted one of my buckets in to test fit it, cant wait to get them both in after the Red Re-trim!!

Shall update after i get some-more money to continue the build further!!!

Very nice man, not a fan of the wheels but that colour is beautiful!

The wheels on the car at the moment or the ones going on there?

The wheels that are on there at the mo are the ones that were on the car when i bought it.. just going to spray these red and use them as day-to-day wheels and keep the rota's as show wheels :)

I'm gunna give my honest opinion and I'm not trying to be rude, I really dont like this, i thought it would grow on me but it really hasn't :( In my eyes theres too much going on, you need to break the colour up a bit more i think its a bit too full on for me.

Massively appreciate the work thats gone into it, but not for me, hope you can turn me sunshine!

Loving the colour was going to say it was the VW T5 Blue but noticed you said it wasnt a VW colour, I love it!!!

It is my favorite colour in the world (yellow is 2nd)

Everyone is entitled to their opinion fella :) And as for the colour,, red wheels good enough to break it up? :p haha keep checking the progress maybe your mind will change

Yea mate both plates arent fixed to the bodywork at all and are both completelly removable :) fixed to the grill and the tow hook on the rear :)

A fairly reasonable price :p hah

Just had the polished lips re-polished and just need painting now

Not alot has happened recently in the project, money is realy tight at the moment especially with Modified Nationals coming up! Hopefully some people from here will be coming too!

The only things that have changed since the last post are that both the cobra buckets are now fitted into the car and the rear is completelly stripped (once again). Currently in the process of removing all that horrible silver 'rubberweld' from the inside before i spray it all matt black.

Recent pictures of my car, including a recent short photoshoot..

Oh i Love Beadage!!!

Random Photo's when i was bored..

Photoshoot 1

Photoshoot 2

More updates to come soon as i am now doing more work onthe car :) Keep looking!

New update after about 2 months of silence..

Money is still tight at the moment so haven't been able to do that much in terms of progress for the build. However, i have managed to do some bits and pieces that make the car look a bit better both inside and out.

Firstly - WHEEL UPDATE! I have had the lips of my Rota's Re-polished and they are now absolutely gorgeous, shiny any new looking. All thats left to do is get some money together for paint so that i can complete them. I shall get some pictures of them in the next few days, they have been sitting on my garage shelf for the past few months untouched - i need a job:(!

I also removed the helper springs from the rear coilovers to get that extra bit of stiffness and lowness.. contemplating taking them out of the front tho. My mate 'Justnikk' had all 4 out at one point and he swears blind that its the most horrible experience ever.. Anyone removed their helpers from the front? Need as many opinions as possible to decide whether they should be in or out..

Started work on the inside of the car aswell seeming as though i dont have money to continue the outside. I have began to remove the seam seal from inside the car so that the seams are exposed - as I'm going for a stripped interior i think the joins between metal panels will add to the style. Once this is all out i will be spraying the inside matt black and then i shall begin work on the single sub install in the spare wheel well. Something small, subtle but effective will be made and also sprayed matt black (or even red.. who knows)..

As i had a car show coming up, my first one with myown car, i thought ide do some little touches to boos the appearance of the car a little bit.

I painted the rear brake drums in High temperature black paint and the front calipers in Blue. The calipers were nowhere near a perfect job. Pretty much a slap-dash job but they turned out pretty decent i think..

Remember that B&Q Licence plate bracket i made, well i thought that the look of that was letting the side down so i decided to give them a quick lick of paint - 'Audi Laser Red'.

With the bolts cut down...

................................................................................

...................................

So the first car show on my calender was 'Modified Nationals' at Peterborough Showground on the 27th-29th June, 4hour drive each way was horrible.

Got some people looking at the car, wish i had my rota's on and all finished though! would have gotten loads of peoples attention then :( There were a fair few polo's up there also.. A few of here i believe.. Matt brown one and also a matt grey.

My Mate's Polo 6n2 on Polished Audi Pepperpots.. (Justnikk)

When i was wandering around the show taking some snaps of the cars on display, my mates thought it would be funny to plaster my car in 'Maxxis Tyres' stickers. In all fairness.. i thought it looked quite cool haha! Could see absolutally NOTHING though!

EVEN THE WHEELS!

Day 2 - They thought it would be even funnier to cover my entire windscreen in them aswell. Bunch of Barsturrrdds

Sums it up really..

Photo's with a 'Maxxis Tyres' Babe..

Thats pretty much it for the time being.. Shall get some pictures of the Rota's as they stand at the moment, also my carbon wrapped center console panels! Scene/Chavy/tacky - but i like it and it doesnt actually look bad hah

Update soon :) - Please give me opinions on helper sring removal from the front!!!

Is it childish I had a right giggle at the last picture?

Its just around the corner from me :) No-one around by us know where it is so its a bit of a 'group secret' amongst our friends haha

Is it childish I had a right giggle at the last picture?

Not at all! haha She kneeled down behind the car and genuinly didnt even notice it.. me and my mates just looked at eachother and burst out laughing and then she realised haha!

The front plate is on a home made tilt bracket, slightly too big at the mo, contemplating cutting it down so it sits a bit more flush like

and noo the stickers where easy as hell to take off and didnt leave any residue or anything so happy days!!

I drove home from the show with the back three windows completelly stickered hahah

dude, i stuck those maxxis stickers over my bikes in the past. They left such a horrible sticky mark!!

Boom! good work man.. x

Cheers fella, the clocks and the headlight switch was a PAIN tho.. i think its just the right amount, not too much but not just random either :)

will keep upto date wen new things get done :)

Done a bit more workk..

Continued with the inside work, seam sealer has been removed up until the point you can see.. Took it back to bare metal and then red oxide primer over it..

Then i ran out of red oxide so just blasted over the left bits with normal white primer..

I also sprayed my roof lining.. Bit patchy t the mo but you can see where its going i hope..

Thats it for the time being,, shall be getting some matt black spray to finish the inside and then i shall update you further!
