Featured Replies

Hey guys,

Last thread was getting a bit moldy! Want to make a new thread as I have some exciting plans for the polo! :)

This is how the car looked just as I got it home!

Since then I have done some work to make it my own!

Did a bit of spraying for the interior, Pillars:

And ofcourse the coilies had to go lower ;) (will be going much lower when I get myself some C-spanners and can afford tracking)

Picked these surrounds up for the pressed plates I ordered!

Then it was a case of putting the pepperpots that came as spares on, but didnt want to put them on like this

I wanted to make the car stand out quite a bit ;)

The splitter is on the way, but for now I found a guy local (not on ClubPolo) who is currently breaking A gti so had the grill off him and also a GTI knob and gaitor

List of other little jobs done:

Headlights De-misted :)

OMP steering wheel and boss (yellow stitched)

12" Audiobahn Sub and Kenwood 1200w Amp with sony headunit and bass remote upfront mounted in Fascia (must get a photo)

Brand new wheelbolts from SixOneTwo will be here tomorrow:)

and Plans:

BMC CDA (hopefully for my B-day this month)

Lower OBV!

New engine cover (mine is snapped, also going to spray orange with black lettering and polish mani cover)

Rota Zero's or Banded steelies next summer

Heres some other random shots...

looks tidy :) personally I would just tidy up the bay a bit to match. but thats me I'm anal ;)

like the colours btw :)

i need to get a similar set-up for my k&n typhoon kit

was tempted to do my wheels orange but weren't too sure

have you thought about dying your headliner and door seals to match the pillars?

Yeah am on that mate, The only problem is that my engine cover snapped due to a siezed bolt :( So need a new engine cover, also going to spray it when I get it... not sure on what colour yet! thanks for the kind words

I can barely hear the induction over the exhaust (will have to get some vids up when I next do my local tunnel run)

Still due to money I haven't got round to running a hose down to the fog which was the original plan :)

I didnt know I could do the door seals, was going to ask what would be the best for the headliner as i did think about spraypaint, recovering or dye!

i like the sound of my k&n and that's why I'm in two minds about getting an exhaust atm

ahh so using the empty fog as an air intake?

alot of the peugeot 106s do that an I've wondered why no one on here has done it yet

i used this

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-LTR-BLACK-CARP...d#ht_3991wt_698

and it came out like this (looks patchy in photo but its not)

still have some dye left so could go darker but i like the grey its darker than in the photo as flash was on. I done the fabric side of the door seals too

How come you didnt go black??? Yeah from the fog, just gonna get money for the hosing! not having any flashy chavvy trumpets on there though:)

What did you do the sunvisors with??

thought it might be too dark in the car

erm sun visors were done with interior paint from halfords decent enough finish and its lasted a while now

i need to get some better pics

the hosings not particularly cheap is it

i think its going to cost me around £40-£50 just in silicon hoses, clamps and steel bits to finish my kit

Nope,not cheap:(

I got the whole induction kit like it is for £90 posted off a fella on here... cant remember his handle:/

I might have to go grey then, I would prefer all dark but can see myself being too comfy and falling asleep at the wheel ;) actually, the exhaust is too loud for that :(

car looks good man but i do have to say i think it looked better on the old wheels but thats just my opinion if you like it go with it :-D

I'm unsure whether I'm liking the pepperpots too much! the A3 wheels will be back on for Winter after a respray :) The problem is that I want to run much wider next year! the pepperpots and the A3's are like 6j which is a poo effort for poke lol!!! hate cars on skinny tyres...
