A slow and low Polo Project

Featured Replies

Hello! Joined your forum to try an get a bit of help, advice an inspiration :thumbsup:

Sold my VW T4 camper project a few weeks ago and decided to tart my polo up a little while looking for another van.

Its the third polo Iv owned but never had a go at altering any of their looks before.

Here are a few before and after pics (so far...........)

Once Iv finished moving house shes going lower 8-)

Also want to colour code the black strips down the side and the plastic on the bumpers at the front/back if possible

Its a bit basic an only a little bit done so far but I think she looks good an simple so far with the TT comps on

Is your car lowered or does it just look it due to the wheels?

I wish :lol: I forgot to say I had AP coilovers put on and also changed the rear lights to the polo model's above. Not to make the car look newer, only reason is that I prefer em

Wheel colour suits 8-)

What size are the wheels

Loving the progress so far! That grille is made by ABT but it's so rare! You might be able to find one on ebay but I doubt it to be honest! They are like gold dust! Keep up the good work :D

I looooooooove white audi wheels

Did these wheels go straight on? any spacers needed and was the stud pattern the same?

Cheers for all the comments :thumbsup: I just moved to Cornwall and she seems to turn a few heads.....

Thanks VWKing for the advice, trust me to want a rare grill!!

The comps are 17" and went straight on using the original bolts. No spacers and the stud pattern is 5x100

The TT Comps suit the 9n down to a tee. Nice choice in wheel dude. But IMO defo get them polished.

And you telling me youve got coilovers on the car and you haven't lowered it!!! :o

If thats the case get cranking and get that baby closer to the tarmac!

Yeah she's been lowered a fair bit :nod:

There's a bit left in her still. Gravity says yes, my brain & speed bumps say no!

A friend of ours had hers polished and it really really suited her black polo but not so sure about the blue/polished contrast. One to think about tho!

Got to admit when I first saw the car in that blue, I thought nice car but not the best colour :? HOWEVER, those white wheels make it pop - it looks absolutely right, I wouldn't change a thing. Regarding ride height getting the balance right is the best option rather than trying to achieve an impractical extreme not to mention potentially damaging your pride & joy! Spot on :-)

Hi, polo looks great!

was just wondering, do the mk7 polo rear lights just fit straight in, and plug straight in or do you have to do any re-wiring?
