My Red Polo :D

Featured Replies

I've been a fan of Vdubs since i was a kid, and when i passed my test in January, straight away i bought this little gem.

Since owning it, i first made it mechanically sound..

I replaced the brake shoes on rear

Brake pads at front

Brake discs at front

Full service, including;

spark plugs

air filter

oil filter

oil

brake fluid

engine coolant

gearbox oil

Clutch

Cambelt

Fanbelt

four new tyres

and fixed the common problem of a broken window motor!!

I plan to do little mods every now and then, as i'm saving for a Lupo..

I bought it from a body shop, so luckily they gave it a respray of my choice, for FREE! So i decided on Suzuki Supreme Red :D

Anyway, since having it, the main things i've done are cosmetic, purely because i can't afford the insure myself with real cool stuff..

Anywho, heres the little polo so far, enjoy :)

Started removing my bump strips today.. And when i had the car resprayed, the people who did it decided not to remove them, so underneath is a completely different colour!! Looks like they're staying..

Some good knews though, got my new bumper on, and getting some lows monday :D

good stuff mate :thumbsup:

Would look better on steelies imo especially when lowered :D

The car is ridiculously clean

I agree with you mate.. I might put them back on once done, and then save for some wellers, or banded steelies.. Although i'm bidding on some atm :ninja:
