Polo mk7 (9n3) front end.

312/256mm brakes.

Anti roll bars/strut braces.

Votex body kit.

Gti side skirts.

PD160 air intake.

Also any other stuff i'll probs need.

Yes Phil, Waiting for the day for your update! Respect. If you feel like a laugh look at my thread. So much banter!

Looks sick as tits mate!

Love the colour of the GT!

Hopefully will be machine polishing it this weekend so will get some decent pictures taken.

Ash - Is it banter or do they all just hate you? (I can imagine it been hate tbh)

I though the fuel needle had broken. I actually did 140 miles before the needle dropped off full, with 420 miles left to empty. This is standard remember!!

Bought myself a set of 312mm brakes:

They were full of rust and slapped on paint so i stripped them back to metal and painted them:

Gave them another coat and left them to dry, i've ordered some grooved discs and some pads too.

Yer to be honest standard its not got me bored yet. So Chris at CCTuning will have to wait a bit longer. :twisted:

On a brighter note.. I had parcels coming left right and centre yesterday :-)

The brake pads arrived today, but bythe time i got in from work/MOT the collection place had closed. So i'll fit them this weekend.

Just need to price up the painting of the skirts and splitter.

Just sat for an hour in the rain.

I think they need bleeding again, or a proper flush but ill let them bed in for now.

Gave the car its first clean under my ownership, not including a few visits to the polish people. I used my cherry snow foam, AG Ultra deep shine then AG high def wax.

Weitec coilovers, powerflex poly bushes all round, new bearings, droplinks etc.

Some FK angel eyes which ill modify as i don like angel eyes.

Votex side skirts fitted and bluemotion rear fitted.

Two new tyres for the front and full tracking done.

Then a cheeky remap by Chris at CC Tuning. Had issues trying to get it on the rollers properly as it was too low, but it ran around 130. Standard and 160 mapped. Feels better though, and handles well now with the tyres and tracking.

They are Thule.. bought them off ebay, got them for about £80 with halfords bike carriers too.

Not sure on model numbers etc.

Anyway i stripped this back to standard as i bough something better to waste my money on.

Only just realised I'm following you on Instagram haha. Since you now got the mk1 on the go do you have that rear splitter for sale?

  • 2 months later...

What roof box is it you have?

Just got myself some Thule bars off ebay, the box looks like the right size for what i want

Is this a 9n? Did the blue motin bumper go straight on?

9n and 9n3 rear bumpers and length of the car are nion the same only difference probs is the fastenings but with things like that you just glue them on...
