I'm in love with your polo and alloys pal. How did you get your badges black and how did you get the rear one to stick back on buddy

Thanks mate, that's always nice to hear!

erm, well the front one is easy enough to remove but I would recommend taking the grille off to make it easier to pop the badge off then rub it with sandpaper, I forget which grit but you will find out online just google 'black badges'. Then plastic primer and black paint I just got from halfords. As for the rear badge you may be better off asking someone else as I did the very risky thing of masking it up and painting it on the car :/ which luckily worked but could prove an expensive mistake if you overspray onto the bootlid by mistake. There are ways to get it on an off although honestly I'm not sure what they are, sorry mate

No probs pal. Thanks mate will ask google to see how to do the back one. Especially as I don't want to fork out hundreds on a new paint job on the boot instead of finding out how to take it off lmaoo.. Thanks for the advice mate

Rap it :)! Always reversable, I got bored of it not looking OEM and took it off aha, need to respray the back of the badges front and back to BLACK!!! XD

Grab some Matt black rap off eBay, hair dryer and a sharp blade, job done :)

Oh don't cut the rap on your seat!

Thanks pal tried to find some viynl rap on eBay buuht couldn't find any for the car and I didn't know how to do It properly pal. Thanks mate.. I'll try not to do it on my seat

Ahaha :) no worries dude. Always a smart idea, it's reversable that's why i like doing it, then get bored and rip it off ahah

Pretty sure i saw this car at tatton park, i had only just bought my car at that time and was hunting around looking for 9n's. I swear yours was the only one there!

Yep that's right mate, that was my first outing with those wheels on, I saw one other 9n, but it was standard...

Just a new picture from tonight and I picked up a bluemotion rear valance tonight, will be getting it painted up and on in the new year

Sexaaaaaaaaaay!

Also that looks like a nice building in the background

yep was quite pleased with how the rain looks in that pic, the building is Shrewsbury Abbey, famous for being opposite an open all night and flood lit car park.. probably.

I now have a new rear bumper, moulding and the bluemotion valance, fresh rear end coming in 2013

Where did you get that from? Might see what bits and bobs we've got going on the bargain parts list at work.

Bluemotion valance was free off a mate and the other goodies are from Trade Parts Specialists

I need not use TPS

Might order these at some point because I hate the placcy valance on mine

so simple but yet so perfect! this car has made me want a 9n so bad!

Have you always had the windies on this? Only just noticed them.

9Ns are nice if done right, I've got mine looking a bit better but not great. Then again I've spent next to nothing on the car and extras. Once I get some more funds I'll have mine looking better.

I'd love a 9N3 Bluemotion.

Erm wind deflectors have been on about a year or so now I think. And being on a budget is the best! I've spent maybe a grand in 3 years on this car, it makes you think more clearly about what direction you want to take the car in, keep at it Kronkey, it'll be well worth it in the end.

The price to put some bodywork right is going to be the deal breaker really. Hope it will be cheap. Going to start saving some cash and in the coming months get some coilies and stance it out, once the weather is better ill code my rub strips and plastidip my badges orange

When you back from uni man? Wanna go UD? Feeling a nice cruse - thinking of setting up a cruse from the big Tesco off the M42 junction 6 (Shirley)B90 postcode wise) to Telford for UD as its not that far at all. See if I can get Any local boys and a few people to pull in so we can have a pretty sweet convoy to the show. :) more dubs the more scrubs .

If I've got my car looking how I want it by UD I'll motor down

I'm only from Shrewsbury mate so Telford is about 20mins away, if I am going at all it will be probably be with Dubshire, but I'll post on here sooner the time as a 9n convoy would be sweet! I say 'if' as uni stuff is really ramping up from now til June really so if I can get back for the weekend I will do, I did last year. Can't promise the new bits will be on by then though

be good to meet you man, and see another 9n about, hopefully i will be able to make it..

Well E38 needs to be a definite 9N convoy, ill have plenty done by then.

April time isn't brilliant for me at work but if I can make UD and you guys are going I'm up for it.

UD is on the 10th march as it would be pretty cool to have a convoy. No worries. Shall have to do 1 on the way from UD aha

I thought it was April, March isn't as bad for me.

You thinking of heading to Edition Liam?
