hello dude, cheers glad you like it :) yeah not a bad way to spend £12 ;)

I'm running 13x6 with 165 50 tyres. there was a fair bit of arch work to do. you have to completely fold the lip on its self but will probs still rub depending how low your going. I'm converting the rears from shocks and springs to coil overs coz i bottoming out on the wheel arches haha. but if you want them to fit, anything is possible :D

needs a coil chopped out the front or the back up a notch, then it will look spot on! i never usually like breadvans, but this looks smart!

been looking into the coil chop. just working out how much to take off. need to get the front dropped around 10mm i recon

parcels are slowly building up in my room for my little bread :) all will be fitted in one day and stil completely change the look even more i hope

been working on the car a little, and I'm happy to say, its finally been SLAMMED!!!!

also imported a left rear light so i got rid of the reverse light. things it finishes the rear end off really well

then deep cleaned and polished the interior and looks fresh

lemme know what you guys think

looking great man, i have the same model but i'm missing the front speakers & covers, where did you get yours from? :)

  • Author

cheers dude, I've got 4" front speakers and the speaker covers came with the car. but there are quite a few people selling the speaker covers on here :)

I personally think the red looks smart mate, goes with the rear lights :)

I'd keep the red but please don't put a bra on...

Are these BBS mahles and what tyres you running ?

more updates soon

Awesome, B pillar decals worked well then!

Love the look of this mate! looks just right! and the red and white goes really well together. did you have to do much rear arch work to get those wheels to fit the rear or did they go straight on with no issues? keep up the good work man.

late night updates for you polo fans :) been working on the engine bay from around 4pm and just packed away and its now 10pm. but time well spent. with the help of my step dads cable light hanging from the top of my bonnet. that pancake filter is finally out the door, and replaced with the mk3 golf elbow with custom cut bolts. then fitted a 2002 polo engine cover which i smoothed and resprayed and making sure all the hoses and cables are not kinked and crushed. and also started to fill in all the holes on the front of the engine bay with the bonnet lock on. all of theses little updates makes a big difference and coming alone nicey :)
