WOOOOP :p My springs came today :D

5405611678_ec6d97a255.jpg

I couldn't resist fitting the rears tonight when i got home from work :)

Old vs New 40mm Rear springs

5405006649_251de8dfd2.jpg

The new arch gap (about 10mm but i'm hoping that it might drop a tiny bit once its settled in a bit more) :D

5405613018_ecdf280486.jpg

I didn't do a before picture but you can see the difference from the earlier photos :D

The rears took me about an hour to do the pair but i know the fronts are much more taxing so i'm gonna leave them til saturday when i get a little more time.

looks nice man, i love how the smoked lights turned out, hows it sit on the 60/40 I'm tempted to go 80mm on my one i picked up today but I'm not sure

Cheers mate :) I'll put some pics up when i've put the fronts on. I've seen pics of the 85 70 fk kit on and it doesn't look that low really. I'm happy with the 40 on the back so far though :D

done a good job of cleaning it up. mk1 is nice :thumbsup:

Cheers mate :) You'll see the polo at a few little shows this year and the golf later on in the year with the new heart throbbing :p

So i ripped off the HUGE old stock one for the third time since owning the car for 3 weeks :p

(excuse the wires and half the dash missing) :p

Then scratched my head for a few seconds before figuring out how to wire up the horn..... Then VWA LAAAA.....

I actually think whoever designed the mk3 polo front suspension needs to be hunted down and killed before he causes any more damage!! You have to take literally EVERYTHING off to get any sense out of it what so bloody ever don't you!! Now came across the problem that the driveshaft is pretty much welded in the N/S hub!! Made up a home brew hub puller out of a 10mm thick bit of steel and 3 bolts but no luck what so ever!!! :( Gonna borrow one from my mate tomorrow to see if i can shed some light on the situation :p Its sitting amazingly low on the O/S for the time being though :D

Had a little extra time to burn so i got a head unit i had laying around wired in properly :D With a constant live to the yellow to keep the memory and the red on a switch so i can turn it on and off manually as and when i want to. So the interior is finally looking nice and tidy :p

Now all i'm waiting for is for someone to tell me they've got some GT arches that they will sell me 8-)

Looking good. Black and white always works nicely.

Reminds me of mine from back in the day before I colour-coded it and fitted GT arches and sills.

  • Author

Cheers mate :D Just had a look at yours and i must say i am liking the half coded bumpers and mirrors :p

Had a set of 14" passat GT alloys kicking around but covered in overspray... Took most of the overspray off em and had a trial fit on the golf. Fill the arches a little bit more and they've got 195/60/14 falken tyres on them all round which beats the 175/70/13 budgets on the tarantula's :D

Not too sure wether i like em' tho ? :? Opinions maybee?

Oh and the wires underneath are because its been sat most of the weekend with the radio on while i've been busy on it and the battery went flat :(

anychance u could take a photo of the exhaust tip from under neaf to see how it sits and that ? really thinking of getting one if they sit ok and that :lol:

  • Author

I think i'm on to a winner with them... Wider, Better tyres, IMO look better :D

Going to pick up some GT arches at the weekend (fingers crossed) and maybee a few more little bits n bobs :)

just had a flick thru this mate and love it! Really nice little mk3 and good to see your getting strait on with your list! :)

  • Author

Haha cheers mate :D the only thing thats gonna have to wait a little bit is the wheels :( If only money grew on trees hey :D

I'm down with the Passat 'Zandervoorts' 8-). Though, I equally like the tarantulas.

those 999 wiperblades are great 3 for that price too

i was happy

  • Author

Haha is that what they're called? :p I knew they where early spec passat GT alloys but didn't know the real name :p Cheers mate, Might give em' a lick of anthracite at work to spruce em' up a bit :p

Yeahhh Hajman .... 3 for 10.50 posted i think they where :p Can't go wrong with that one considering the cheapo ones from tesco's are 7 quid each! :o

surprisingly I'm loving those wheels on the car! dont look much on their own but look great on. Gunmetal grey!

  • Author

Cheers mate :) I must admit they've been on my golf purely so i can move it around when i need to and i didn't really like them on there... Buttt i think they kinda suit the polo :p Gunmetal grey and anthracite are the two choices i was thinking :)
