looks very tidy, lookin forward to the plans :)

It looks great, I love black 6n2s with smoothed bumpers. What colour are you spraying it?

Looks good, needs more lows though!

It's just having a full solid black re-spray. Mainly because theres quite a few stone chips and it will freshen it up a bit too.

MUCH MORE lows to follow once the exhaust comes off 8-)

Took the window tints off:

Had the exhaust taken off in place a custom hidden one (from AAS Exhausts):

Bought some stuff which still need to be fitted:

Still To Do:

Slam the suspension

Double Din head unit

New door card speakers/tweeters

Parcel shelf trimmed in leather to match the interior - This is with the trimmer, just waiting to get it back

Paint breaks

Paint rocker cover

Gloss black dash bits

De-badge the rear (leaving VW badge only)

Full re-spray

I've probably left some stuff out but I'll keep this updated anyway :-)

I love black and red 6n2s, (I have one of each) they just look lovely when they've had a good polish :-D

I bought them from someone on another forum, they were just from VW i think though :)

A quick update;

Not a lot has changed, the coilovers have been wound right down but it is still nowhere near low enough. They are Spax so more performance orientated, hence the crap lows!

The G60's are going back on this weekend because the tyres on now are too small until the lows are sorted.

A few recent pics for now:

Thanks, I've got FK coilovers on my other Polo and they go really low aswell. I'm just leaving it be for now with the G60's on until I have saved enough for my 'special lows' 8-)
