my polo coupe

Featured Replies

This has been my project since last September only just found time to put a thread up there will be more pics to come

Model: polo cl in Windsor blue

Engine: 1.3 aav, ported and polished, skimmed head, induction kit, stainless dtm backbox (saving for a new manifold), and block and head painted white, with cambelt cover and rocker cover painted Windsor blue, also have a Polace chip on order.

Suspension: lowered 80/55

Brakes: standard at the moment

Wheels and Tyres: some vw steelies painted white with 175/65/13

Exterior Styling: de-badged grille, clear indicators, smoothed aerial, smoothed boot, removed door stripes and small arch trims.

Interior Styling: stupidly huge rev counter (which i have grown to hate)

ICE and Security: jvc headunit, some now comps up front (just starting to die) and some 6x9s.

Comments: looking tatty now due to someone bumping into me a while ago and i haven't had the time or space to finish repairing it.
