Well I'm new here, and after picking up a 6n on Friday, I can honestly say it's such a nice car to drive, and I can't wait to spend time working on it, and going places in it! So, the polo. 1996, 1.4CL, 5 door. Having more doors wasn't my first choice, and I do prefer 3 door cars. But however, I couldn't let this go, as it was a complete bargain at £365, pretty much full service history, and generally in brilliant condition for the 93000 miles its done!

First plans are Coil overs, and banded 14" G60 Steelies. A quick Photoshop with the standard wheels:

Were is it... All i see is white snow..

Looks clean, and ideas sound good!!.

Also smoothed 8v ftw!

That looks excellent!

By chance, I have all the ideas you want done for sale!

Smoothed rear doors, recesses for the front doors smoothed, smoothed wings, unfinished smooth 8v bumper, and front 16v indicators.

Drop me a PM or check out my for sale threads.

Looks well Ashcroft... Welcome to club polo :)

Moar pictures, Apologies for the lack of progress!

Stuck in Traffic for UD :(

Parked next to Joshes 6n2

Snow! (Again :( )

5 door FTW, looks tidy mate. Got a bargain there

always change my opinion on 5 doors when I see them lowered ahah. looking good man

Cheers for the comments, I wasn't so keen on 5 doors, but you kinda forget about it, and only realise when you can conveniently open your back doors :p

Quickly painted a badge I had picked up from the scrapyard, Not too keen on the black on the grille.

Lupo/6n2 Gearknob, Much prefer this to my old one.

So i've owned this for 2 months, and it's honestly been the best 2500 miles i've done!

And then these happened. Manufacturing my own adapters at work, and spending quite a bit of time refurbishing them!

When they're finished, they should look something like this. Maybe.

Woop.

Started machining.

Excellent you have to admire & respect the engineering skills.

Cheers matey, just doing something different and producing my own adapters, at least i can get the specs I want, and not have to pay shitloads for adapters.

My "Office"

I'll just leave this here...

This is coming along really nice matey

Loving the colour you went on for with the wheels. Really need to get some new ones for mine, getting sick of looking at valver alloys :(
