So time for another new car, build thread for this one should be appropriate as its tidy and a keeper (i think)!

quick car history in pics and in order to explain the title

1.0 L

1.6 CL

1.9 SDI

1.3 Carb

1.8 16v 318 Compact

also had a mk1 caddy, a yellow CC mk3 Golf GTI, a strom grey 1.4 6n and a blue 1.6 GLX all of which are now dead

which brings us to up to date

Take one quite clean standard mk4 flash red 1.0, clean it extensively, fit valver wheels and rear lights, a chopped down A4 aerial, rear wiper blank, tailgate debadge, coilovers and a 5 door rear pass handle and you end up with this:

I know the pics are rubbish but nm

Anyway, i picked up some BBS RD218 15x6.5, new caps, new 165 45 tires, new white powder-coat and trial fit:

then remove because its all wrong, the arches need work, notch is required and things need cutting off from underneath. style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.gif

things on order are:

nut conversion with red anodized nuts

spacers

polybushes wishbones

piping for a notch

valver bumpers are being smoothed and painted

also have plans for the interior.....

thats it for now style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/thumbsup.gif

Just goes to show if done right simple works sooo well :-) Get the stance right and the rest will follow

Get the pic you sent me up

na I've got it sitting better now and a touch lower, soon though.......

so, nut conversion came yesterday along with the centre caps, i had a fiddle with the arches and spacers etc,

i think it needs another 5mm out on the front, may order some 15mm spacers, rear isn't to bad

looks a bit nose high here but isnt on flat ground

wheels and nuts :)

last time living on the drive cant get on or off without lots of wood and three people

and may have got away without a notch for some reason..... but bumpstops need cutting down more or removing yet

You did get a red 6n in the end then? (I was going to swap my polo for your golf... I think)

Looks good man, simple but works well

Ha, were you? I cant remember, it was about 4 cars ago lol

yep nice n simple, paint needs sorting on the rear arches now but it is a very clean car

and the BBS were a steal and fairly rare in this country i think :)

I love this pic. Simple works sooooo well

I love this pic

Keep them coming :)

not much to update, just keeping it clean, which with white wheels is hard to do :)

however tow-eye has been removed, bumpers are on their way to being done, and an airfreshner installed...

and I'm also after some 15mm hubcentrics, some height adjust seat bases and a 6n2 gti splitter if you can help me out!

This car has made me love 8V front bumpers even more, shame your changing, I'd smooth the 8V, loooks awsome tho mate fairplay:)

Cheers mods for moving this :thumb:

N yeah I'm not to sure myself yet but I have both options we shall see.....

Man that things sat sweet! What specs out back?

Cheers dude not totally happy with it yet, atm its at 165 45s on a 6.5j et 38 with a 25mm spacer

However its suffering from the usual shoddy polo rear beam welding, so drivers side pokes more by around 3mm, and the front isn't low enough.....

small updates

did some interior fettling

take a pair of these

and these

remove these

and combine to get height adjust L spec seats

not finished with those yet, plans....

got a sump being plated as mine is all bent, fixed my splitter and changed the clutch friday, no pics of either as it was raining

However deep cleaned it over yesterday and today and took some proper pics!

Sooooo

15mm spacers ordered for the fronts

longer studs for the rear as I didnt feel safe only having four turns on the nuts :@

also developed a clicking relay since the clutch has been out, however car still runs and everything works.....needs some investiagtion

Looks Lovely..

Clean..

(Keep it 8v)

ta

everyone is saying i should but we shall see....

No updates as of yet, got another sump for plating

few pics taken at BVF, not by me - courtesy of Majestic Art :)

any more, throw them up

This is perfect i agree with above statement stick to 8v, 16v bumpers may ruin this

Love this, wheels are so sick

Cheers people

Haha bumpers are, being painted today so we shall soon see :)

New reg plates coming to get rid of the crappy blue GB bit

15mm spacers on, doesn't make much difference, 20mm maybe but these will do for now

front and side repeaters tinted to 16v darkness...??

so valver bumpers are on still need a flat and polish though:

put the vents in not oe so a terrible fit but dont look to bad with a bit of silicone round them

all fitted up :)

i love penis

but i love this more

although that was a compliment, get out elliot!
