Featured Replies

hi, as the title says I'm new to posting on the forums, just got myself an mk4 polo 1.4 8v. ill be honest picked it up already lowered with wheels and interior as it is, however I'm gradually getting stuff done in a black and white colour scheme (it was all black) let me know what you think. needs a bit of rust doing on the door and rear arch when i get the time or find someone doing it cheap enough :D also when i can afford it i'd ;love to drop a g40 engine in it, anyway specs atm are.

1998 8v 1.4 polo

lowered 120mm all round on coilovers (yes speed bumps often cause me to go the long way round)

15" ATS cups on stretched tyres

Gti front and rear bumper

Leather interior (i forget what from though)

Space invaders headlining

Cat 1 viper alarm with remote start

I'm usually driving about colchester and to from work in chelmsford down the A12 aswell and the ardleigh/manningtree/harwich way so give me a wave/flash :D

anyway enjoy the pics

I like this, looks cool man. It sits perfectly on those cups :thumbsup:

Just not really keen on the white splitter.

I think if you polished the wheels they would look awesome.

yeah, tbh it PROPER good clean, i just haven't had the time, possible this weekend ill get it all cleaned up but it picks up more dirt so easily. I'm still undecided about the white splitter mainly did it because it emphasis' the car instead of it all being black and blending into one with the road at night :p

Nice car dude, but i agree about the wheels, get them polished and itll look sick for the summer!

looks quality mate! amazing wheels, imo make your spliter black and keep the badge white =)

Looks nice, just change the splitter!

look great. i also live in colchester so i'll keep a look out

cool beans, i may not have the white splitter much longer :p the gf kept telling me it didnt look right but you know how it is, once its done you dont like to cave!

If she says its wrong, it has to stay :thumbsup:

Yeah maybe put the splitter back to black, leave the white badge and you could get some clear side repeaters to add to the white and black theme?

Or paint your petrol cap white?

if it was my car i would get rid of stickers, paint badges and splitter black, mk5 rear lights, shorter bee sting aerial, colour code door handles. :)

Will the mk5 lights fit straight in without missing anything?

looks good mate , il sort you out with a 16v splitter if you like

its like new , £35 posted?

I forget what we had to do to make the lights fit a mates 6n

Sure we had to drill some holes out bigger and swap some wires round. Think theres a guide in the FAQ

Not a fan of the splitter, but i think you could carry the theme on with the wheels. Where the inner bits are black, do them white. Will be subtle and iv never seen a set of cups any other colour besides black or red.

6n2/mk5 rear lights are overused and generally horrid, valver lights are muuuuccchhh nicer IMO.
