Sweet car mate.. I'd also like to no how you Made the seats fit:) also what year car are they out of? Keep up thee good work..

Looks cool - however, please put your plate back in the correct place, looks really silly having a recess and a plate elsewhere. Seats are a very good touch! Not sure on the leopard print though, maybe a little too much of it..

Your gf's car is amazing!

Merc rims are on!

I love those merc trims! Blingin! :p

love those trims :)

awesome, this car is really familiar, I remember seeing one just like this at Ace Cafe a while back, not sure if it was you

Merc rims are madness mate . Bump nice car . Dave

loving your birds mk2! but loving this way more! i want some rota zero's so bad!

hey mate did the merc trims just clip straight onto 14'' steels dude?

looks pretty good on the trims mate

Is it just me or does the rear quarter look a lot darker than the rest of the car in that last picture?

nope, your right! kinda hard to notice at first but the more i looked at it the more i can see that it is!

Not noticed my thread had popped back up! Cheers for the positive response people. Megane front seats were welded to the original polo subframes but the back ones fit in with a bit of persuasion. Paint on the car isn't all that and panels don't match as I put doors from another car on which were in better nick and had leccy window motors in. Trims are cable tied to 13" steels but do clip on to most 14" steels. I was up at the Ace for the stance works meet with a lowrider bike on the roof so you may have seen it!

Car is going in for paint on Friday and getting some smoothing done.

Keeping with the gloss black but smoothing boot handle, roof aerial, side repeaters, jacking point triangles, sill joins, petrol flap finger hole, seams under rear lights, washer jets, front and rear tow eye cut outs and a few other bits.

Already smoothed the front plate recess.

Grill, door handles and mirror plates will be colour coded gloss black.

Will update with progress on the respray next week.

Been returning the Rotas over the winter as the laquer on them was shocking. It got tiny stone chips and blistered badly so stripped all the laquer off and mirror polished them. Look alot smarter now so they will be back on after the respray. Thinking of dropping the front a touch too but want to keep the helper springs and the cookies are wound the whole way down so may have to look into shorter top mounts unless anyone has any ideas?

Talk about an essay lol that's all for now

so how many mm is it lowered on the front?

so how many mm is it lowered on the front?

"120mm" drop coilovers wound all the way down. Helpers still in.

Had a bit of an argument with a wall a few weeks ago so got a new one ready for the respray. Ended up doing this for sh*ts and giggles

Have a really short deadline to get this car into paint. The car has to be out of the workshop by Friday 9th March so spent this morning stripping the car down.

Wheels are nearly finished now and have come up really well. They have a better finish on them than when they were new. Couldnt believe how quicly the laquer started blistering.

Add a bit of this

Various stages of rubbing down

Polished

The result

Plastic welded the front bumper ghetto stylee using the old cable tie and soldering iron method. Done the same with the rear tow eye cut out but don't have any pics.

Cutting out recess

New piece cut out of an 8v rear bumper and mocked up

Melting new section in

Quick skim of filler, rubbed down, primer. Job done!

More updates tomorrow!

This looked mean! Leopard print ftw hahaha

Job hasn't got done quite as quickly as I'd hoped but car should be ready for primer tomorrow. Albeit bar the roof and bumpers which may have to wait til next weekend as I need the car next week. Here are some pics of this weeks progress up to how things stand this evening:

Dents in roof

Dents in bonnet

Got new door lock paddles so I don't have to keep locking and unlocking it from the boot lol

New 6k HID kit

New sun visor mounted number plate

Building a VIP Garson table for the front as the car will be heading more towards the VIP style. Never seen a VIPd' VW, so this may be the first VIP look Polo. Complicated to explain how the finished product will look so you will just have to watch how it progresses!

Here is some of the Garson tables that inspired me.

Shouldn't think mine will be anywhere near as spectacular but here is the basic idea mocked up. Obviously a lot more work needed! Making a few changes to the upper level.

For more VIP goodness, picked up this pretty rare 6n wood wheel

Been looking through some Junction produce VIP bits but its all pretty expensive. Chrome interior door handles are on the cards too.

That's all for now

Edited 9 March, 201214 yr by imperial-custom

aha sick

Thought about doing junction produce curtains in the rear side windows. What do you reckon?

I love this! Are you going to UD?

Table idea is awesome! :)

Cheers, got similar plans for the compartment between the rear seats

Will be at ultimate dubs but having my doubts whether my car will be :(

This is taking a different turn =D i like it....that table idea is awesome and will be interesting if you can pull it off decently =D
