Had an awesome time at edition 38 last weekend,

So here are whats happened before edition that i tried to keep secret,

first of all came the bumpers, only managed to get the front done in time though (most of you will recognise them from a certain popular polo on here)

smoothed with US side markers, I love them!!

then i had to reduce my front camber to stop my new wheels rubbing again the shock, which meant i had to roll my arches up front more the paint cracked quite bad but fuck it I'm static and its a polo never guna be perfect.

so the neww wheels that cause this were BBS RM012!!!! FINALLY GOT ME SOME SPLITS!!!!!! 15x7.5j with nankang 165/50 wrapped around them.

and finally a quick release steering wheel boss attachment

plan now is to bring the front down a bit more ready for Rollhard @ Duxford, and then players show.

Then probably winter mode ready for MOT and split the BBS maybe a colour change and maybe some more dish ready for next year :)

Nice change, thought you were selling at one point, glad you didn't, will see this at players...hopefully rollhard too :thumbsup:

Was a really good day and a really good location.

I cleaned my car thursday so here is the reflection shot from that, I'm loving Kleenfreaks gear, picked up a sticker today to promote them, very good products :D

Ok so today I had my email to say that my car has been accepted for an outside spot at show and glow on 20th October.

This means some updates will be coming shortly as I have several bits that need painting up and then I've got to give the car a general tidy up!

So expect some updates :)

Bye for now :)

So no real updates atm,

roof bars came off ready for the rooof to be painted as it has faded and just needs cleaning up before show and glow.

got a few bits on order, looking forward to show and glow.

lowered the front a bit more again after rollhard and players ready for show and glow, arch getting very close to bead now :)

Soo been a while since I posted in here,

not much has changed really, apart from more lowering..

and it is now on its winter wheels :( bbs are being split apart and probably painted over winter.

any way had the mot the other day that was a scary day as i was certain it would fail!!

I thought I had better keep this thread alive,

I have ordered some new tyres. I went for 165/45/15 instead of 165/50/15 I need a touch more stretch as I will hopefully be going lower as soon as the weather clears up a bit.

anyway some pictures of winter mode.

Hopefully some more updates soon!!!

Keep your eye on it :)

hi dude just a quick question if you dont mind?where did you get the side markers and what are they of?thanks

The side markers come from a mk4golf/bora. They're cut and moulded into place.

Was done by the guy i got them from.

To much frame gap... pahaha

Dude this looks amazing. I want mine to sit like this but i have a question, how low did the seller say the coilovers would go? Only because I've seen some for sale and they state 60mm but you own them and that's more like a 100mm drop haha. cheers buddy. :)

KEEP IT UP!!!
