Yoo, been on club polo for a while now snooping about for ideas for my cars, finally decided to start a thread!

I'm on to my second polo already (only been driving 9 months), My first being a Mk4 1 litre. i did a little modding to this but nothing special.

Then due to the change in weather i thought it was time to buy something newer, abit more reliable and more fuel efficient for all the miles i do.

Knew i wanted another VW so straight away went for a 9n3 polo.

Only had to look once for this car and straight away fell in love, so bought the beast for £6000.

Polo 9n3 1.9 TDi (100bhp)

standard at the moment.

When i first got the car

I have plans to lower the car, get abit of black added and of course some new wheels, but of course these will have to wait until the weather changes and the road salt disappears.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome!

Cheers dude! I've done a few little mod, pics to follow soon!

welcome to the newschool club. i've had my 1.9 tdi sport for about 3 years nar and its a fantastic car very good on fuel and nippy when its on the move. mine came with the "16" sport wheels though I'm guessing that was a upgrade as i thought they all had them on. good look with the mods

Small Update!

Got round to abit of wrapping this weekend. Me and a mate of mine did the same work to my polo and his Ibiza.

Tinted my Fogs yellow

Carbon wrapped window pillars

Carbon wrapped parts of my steering wheel

Painted front VW badge red, not sure about this yet but I'm waiting to get GTI grille and spray the front black before i change it.

Steering Wheel

apologies for the poor picture. was late at night when i got this back on

So this is how the car sits now.

Really like your car mate, red badge looks good to me.

How do you take the bits off your steering wheel that you wrapped? I fancy doing something to mine (also a 9n3!)

I've got the idea for the badge from an A3 in the latest PVW, still not sure but I'm gunna wait till i get GTi front end sorted.

And yeh i did them on the car, me and a mate of mine were quite the team with a hair dryer and an old credit card haha

I did them while they were still on the wheel. was quite easy really. they have enough movement so you can move them to fold the wrap under. having the engine running helps with the power steering, can really move it about and get them looking good.

Thanks!

Quick photo sesh today

Angry Birds Pig...

So another little update!

At the weekend i got upto a few little interior mods. My dead pedal cover came so i got that fitted, put i bit of red take behind the TDI to make it stand out.

Also put some LED footwell lights in. Wired these to the interior light so they come on when the door opens

pictures not brilliant quality but you get the idea.

Also attended Ultimate Dubs on Sunday! Good show, Loved the drive down to Telford, was great to see so many VW's on the road at once!

Got my self some pressed plates Took loads of pictures inside but when it came to putting them on the computer, they all turned out crap because of the stupid lighting in there!

Got a cool shot of a few cars while queing to get in

Then a nice panoramic of one of the rooms

Plans for the car: Lowered on Coilovers and going down the OEM+ Route, going to get some Porsche D90 Wheels!

And thoughts or Ideas let me know! Peace.

Quick Photoshop of the car! Thoughts please

New Wheels!

drove through to rotherham last week to pick up some mercedes wheels. got a good deal really!

Had the day off work today so thought id try them on even though the tyres are massive and i knew they wouldnt fit. Buuuuttt still looks cool!

Front Poke

Rear Poke

And just a good photo to finish up!

(Back to standard wheels)

Pic with the wheels on

Boost gauge and pod in car, just needs wiring in and such. Line out converter ordered ready for sub to be wired in.

Coilovers getting ordered on pay day!

Pics to follow soon

Just an idea to brake the red up at the front why not spray the middle section black? midle grill numberplate area etc

Like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-07-Reg-Volk...=item5ae3593e89

shouldnt cost to much only a little area if not try some plasti dip just to see if you like it mate.

Good idea!! Instead of spraying it, wrap it, then you can always pull it off if you get bored of it!

It is actually on my list on things to do this weekend! I've sold the Merc wheels now and I'm after something abit different

RS Reps Maybe?

I'm not too good at wrapping although i could give it a go! getting over the number plate area will be hard as it is raised

Take the plate off, Keep plenty of heat in the vynil and keep it tough. :) Should be ok. Work slowly with a old credit card with some foam on the end :) to smooth out bubbles :)

Good luck and would look pretty smart
