I had a spair bumper so thought id try it out (its the bottom of another bumper haksawed off and upturned btw!!).

I want a laguna one or something like that.

Nice one, worth a punt!

Good work on the prep!

Hello people! :) Your about up to date now!

But that's getting done while I'm away! :)

So hope to come back in a few weeks to a lovely smooth running car. :-D

I've also smoothed the 1.0L badge and painted the engine cover today.

hi mate can you remember where you got the panal that runs underneith the grill, the slam panal and the panal that the bonnet closes onto?

Do you think a letter box exhaust will suit this mate?? just saying, a clean straight cut exhaust with a bit of a raspy sound would suit it perfect as its so clean.

Hi mate! Got it of eBay brand new. You can get the grill strip separate if you want, mine came all spot welded to the front panel. Pretty good panel for pattern part to.

Yer I get were your comming from mate, but I think it should look sweet if I sit it up nice and tight to the body.

Got no idea what it sounds like. Should look better than the chavy scopion that was going on it!!

we'll just have to see how it comes out :p keep those updates coming man, love this car.

So got some stuff done to the polo.

Been messing about with the scuttle panel cover and made some neat little brackets for it.:)

Also got the bumpers rubbed down, so I painted them yesterday morning.

Oh and finished Wax oiling.

Anxious to see these on

I Must say, I don't particularly like colour coded bumpers on early polos. Be it Mk2 or Mk2f, they seem like an attempt to make an old car look modern.

However

Having already gone to town on that awesome paint scheme, the bumpers just have to see the same treatment!

So yeah, also quite anticipating these on the car.

RUDE

need to see pics with them fitted dude :)

Yeah. Soon as I have flat and polished them and put some stone chip guard on my rear arch spats. Making the templates now! Need to give the polo bloody good clean, iv been a bit slack.

So, got up early on Saturday.

How it was, still in winter mode.:)

Got the door cards and some other trim bits fitted then hooverd and cleaned the interior.

Sand blasted and painted all the bumper bolts black.

Then put on axle stands, stripped down, washed and dryed.

Shinny re- painted bumper iron fitted.

Rear bumper fitted. Didn't have right rivets for arch spats :( will be on soon as!

Also got new Skoda (i think) splitter fitted on front bumper, front bumper fitted, wheels on, down off the stands and looked like........
