The headlights look well, as do the wheels.... BUT I think that exhaust is overkill. Maybe if it was tucked up more it wouldn't be as bad?

I know it was higher but my exhaust hangers snapped so i got some more but there too stretchy so it sits to low so I'm going to make a bracket for it to keep it up against the bumper and fill in the cut out from the old exhaust.

get the bumpers back to black again and it would be a very nice polo :D

i was thinking about spraying the bottom of the bumpers white to colour code it but not to sure

hmmm, I'm not sure what would go better myelf... but obviusly its upto you

As i said on facebook, Good to see my old car again. I'm not too keen on the exhaust, but its probabbly better than the one that was on there! What happened to the steels and the funky vinyl wrapped centres? And much agreement with the back to black idea ;)

still got the steelies n centres thinking of getting them banded but not sure and i know the exhaust is too big didnt realise it was that big when i ordered it so I'm thinking of getting a new one ill just get a back box keep it supersport like this one but just swap them over n yeah I'm not sure what to do with the bumpers :/

I'm not sure what to do with the bumpers :/

Go to homebase. Boiled linseed oil. About £5.79. Wipe it on and then leave it. I had heard about it from mates and on here, wasnt too sure, but tried it myself and works a treat. Lasts alot longer than any back to black bumper gel.

I'm going for a custom made full stainless powerflow exhaust. Custom, so it can be designed exactly how i want, and sit as high as possible for clearance when i get new suspension.

will have to give it a go mate n that sounds good there a company near me that does custom made exhausts my mates gonna take his lupo there n to be honest I'm thinking of doin the same

Only thing I'm not a fan of is all the stickers in the windows and the exhaust needs tweaking but looks a good one!
