Hello lads and ladettes :)

i am all new to this so bare with me :L

here is just some basic info on the car etc

Model: Vw Polo 9n3 GTi

Engine: 1.8 20v T

Suspension: Coilovers

Brakes: Standard at the mo

Wheels and Tyres: Standard monzas at this moment in time

Exterior Styling: Lowered - debadged - xenon lights - smoothed front bumper - splitter - honeycomb grills

Interior Styling: Nothing :(

ICE and Security: Have no clue

Comments: this is just to show all the fellow vw lovers my car and hopefully get some advice and tips to help her along :) il go step by step from day 1 till now :)

Brought the car in january 2012 for £4800 - 60,000 miles on it - reason it was so cheap was because the owner couldnt afford to run it and had it sat on her drive for nearly a year and couldnt sell it also she was told a cv joint had gone and a tyre was bold so she couldnt afford that. When i brought the car i took it to a garage and had it looked at it and the garage said it was immaculate inside and out still runs smooth - the knocking noise which the car had was no infact the cv joint but the lower arm bust so £20 later no more knocking :).

here she is on the first time having it :)

MODs :)

first thing i done was some xenon bulbs and de-badged grill - with a black gti badge :)

seconds was the bottom grills changed from slats to honeycombe :)

Before :

After :

Next was just some cheap coilies for the mo as go them offered to me for £50 of a mate because he wrote his car off on the way to the garage to get them fitted

- that was straight after they were done so still looks high and i need to take the adjusters out the back to properly slam it

Whar are everybodys views on the red strip with a de-badged grill? opinions please????

]

Next was just some engine bits and bobs, thinking about changing the red to purple tho as i want purple wheels at the momento haha -

next was smoothing which was only done 2-3 weeks ago - i had to get it done before the wheels because some little C*#! decided to fall of his bike and scratch my car so decided to put this first as the scratch was bugging me

Door :-

Boot :-

Bumper:-

i had a cupra r spiltter put on aswel :)

Next will be wheels but not quite sure what ones to get. i hope to do these : -

or some different options.....

PLEASE give me some feedback on what wheels to get or if i should go for the purple bbs - i will not be getting real bbs i will be getting reps lol

Thats it for the moment thats my car up to date so far i hope u enjoy it and i hope to hear some feed back from all of u and give me opinions on the car and the wheels and the other bits if asked advice for

Thanks for your time :)

Thanks for the replies people :)

I don't know how low it is I just got them get rid of the arch gap lol

The back is as low as it can go so rather going to get new coilies that can go lower or take the back adjuster out of my current ones not to sure yet :/

Hopefull ordering my bbs rs reps, miltek decat and intercooler soon

Bloody nice car, I think the stock wheels look awesome on it - No need to change I reckon. Fixed the images for you because I was bored. When you are viewing your pictures in photobucket look for the bit that sayd code on the right hand side, click on the text next to that and put that in your post.

adapters for them will cost like £150 for 2 so your talking like £300 for a set, doesn't look good, don't know what your opinion of getting alloys re drilled is but theres always that? but don't know the cost in that! Just thought i'd try and help, sure you probably already know this though hahaaa. Just thought id add that the gti looks smart man! like the smoothness of it too!

Sooooo then first update in a while lol

where to start.....

i got out the spray cans on my engine cover. I'm happy with it but i may be changing the red for my new wheel colour.

I finally picked some wheels and got them sprayed just really hopeing they fit now (fingers crossed)

Then i recently got my forge intercooler and my milltek Non res turbo back exhaust ( Forgot to take pictures of exhust fitting)

Then i fitted my boost guage :) i thought i would be a little different with this instead of putting it in the airvent, i have got a oil pressure 1 to put in aswel but haven't had time to do it.

I then got it Revo stage 2 mapped dont know what bhp its running as i need to get it rolling road.

MOT and a service due this month so cant really do alot to it at the mo, got some bonnet struts for it so need to fit them going to change cam belt and water pump - going to change all fluid - oil,gearbox oil, break fluid,water etc etc

Recently fitted the pd160 and a panel filter - looking at doing cone in a box idea? if anyone has info on this it would be good :)

Looking at the audi tt brake conversion next.

Thought about hybrid turbo but i think I'm going to leave it how it is as i will be looking at saleing it after the summer if all goes to plan to fund my new car but everything is ready fot it

Looks nice mate!

This looks good, do the intercooler pipes fit well behind the grille? Do you happen to have a list of pipe sizes please. Did the milltek and intercooler make much differnce before remap? Any advice on coolers map sensor? Sorry for bombarding you with questions :-)

Really liking this so far!

That smoothed front bumper looks class too.

hows the mpg on stage 2? I've heard they drink fuel is this true might be going form stage 1 to 2 soon :)

hello people haven't been on here for ages.
I have put the wheels on but unfortunately it I'm selling it

Such a shame as I recently noticed this on the bay, having the smooth bumper really looks good.

I'm thinking about getting one of these, I never really liked them as I've been a fan of the 6n but since seeing a few in Candy White with subtle mods I'm starting to fall in love with them
