Karl's 6n polo

Featured Replies

Bought this little 1.4 8v 6n nearly two weeks ago and so far i love it, far better than the saxo and 106 i had before it. I'm gathering together a bit of cash to get things rolling and make my mark on it. Been sorting out a few small issues and have a few still to iron out but it's pretty good on the whole despite slightly tatty paintwork and the rest. It's had a good bit of work done before my ownership, which off the top of my head is:

15x7j exip wheels

Lowered 60mm

Laguna front splitter

Scorpion upswept backbox

6n2 gti interior

Boot lid smoothed

16v bumpers

6n2 number plate recess added into back bumper

6n2 all red rear clusters

HID headlights

Aero wipers

Pressed plates

But i'll let the pictures do the talking:

After a nice good clean and t-cut

Day after i bought the car i needed some tunes so i picked this up at a bargain price, plugged it in and away i went

Put these little touches on today

I've also ripped the ugly dials off that were put on it, they werent even the right clocks for it, went to 140 so never knew how fast(or slow :p) i was really going. Replaced the rear number plate lights the other day as well which was a bit of a game as the whole of the back bumper had to come off :@

The plans for it that i've got so far though are:

Get in coilovers and drop it as far as possible

165/45 R15 tyres for a nice bit of stretch

Camber shims and spacers to suit

Give the wheels a good old polish

Replace the drivers side wing with a nice sticker bombed number

Sticker bomb the front splitter

Fit a sub

Standard backbox to clean up the lines on the rear end

Possibly stick a camo 16v interior into it

Hope you like it :-D

Looking good man keep us up to date as the mods go on, guessing by the dash it's not got lecky windows?! If not may be worth hooking yourself up with some :thumbsup:

Edit: get some HID's in the go! So much better + simple to swap for MOT purposes :thumbsup:

165/45 R15's on 7j wheels :D

Excuse the dirty wheels and the fact that the photo isn't great, i'll give it a good clean and get some proper photos taken once I've got it lowered properly
