Soo... Here we have number 5

paid £230 for it

taxed till june and m.o.t in november

153k still pulls well tho

paintworks crap,however solid underneath and no rusty arches etc

the guy before went for the ratty approuch i guess with sanded down bonnet and stickerbombed roof not my thing but i cba to change it,was only £230 so its a cheap run about..

Had a spare bumper so started to make a off centered neumberplate recess and am going to smooth the lot,fogs got cut out and also the bit at the bottom

it is in back in one peice now and have started smoothing it ,defo guna look awsome when finished

may put it on the GT or may save it for a worthy looking polo

Cheers

Cheap little GT that. Shame the previous owner spoiled it. I've wanted an off centre number plate recess for ages, as it would go great with my off centre grille badge. Just something i've never got round too. If i did it i'd want to keep the textured look though. Should look great when done :-)

nothing a bit of paint cant fix. potential is there. good find! how are you going about relocating the recess? plastic welding or fibreglass?

Number 5 , really? What have you had???

Id give it a few days TLC, get all the tat off it and find it a bonnet.

really? engines prob guna need a rebuild at 153k

I'm thinking rat it right up so it actually looks cool rather than tatty old balls, bit of nitromoors on the front edge of the bonnet then go drive it fast so it runs and leave it to do it magic or just slap some paint on it and drive it fast so it runs down the sides. Spot lamp on the roof tint the head lights black put some old news paper pages in random places. Paint the tyre walls white put a massive splitter on it and carpet mud flaps that touch the floor finished one tatty scrote give a new lease of life.

nice one mann i like the stance haha

I'm selling up all my car stuff lemme know if you want anyhting!

Partly joking that would be a way to make it rat if you wanted it full on rat, but the red oxide rollered on sounds pretty cool, you can get an alright finish with a roller can't you. My dad sprayed my bonnet satin black last night but the paint was real old and knackered so it had some lumps in it! But its ment to be a bit ratty.

You should tape the headlights with like a # style grid over em with thin tape, if you can't find any just slice some insulating tape by putting a Stanley blade on some coins on a flat surface and rotate the tape round cutting it to the right width evenly and easily. Or to tint them.

And mine will be on the road soon il come and show you when I'm done.

yeah bonnet looks sweet

ecspecialy for a roller

oxide red should look awsome and not ratty and tatty.... i hope anyhow

Heres how it looked by previous ower,i obvs ditched the wide arches as he kept the wheels..

i wanna see it in oxide! good choice!

i found some insperation on here few days ago and that gave me the kick up the ass i needed

paints free so all in total when its finished it would have cost......... £2.80

that just for a cheap rollor :)

yeee i saw lol, oxide mk2 + 3s look aceee

Did you rub it down or just roll it on over the old paint?
