looks nice mate, clean and looked after, btw it doesnt have gti wheels or headlights tho :/ get some more piccys up tho :)

And that's definately not a GTI front bumper either

Good base start though

no progress today..just got a few pictures with a friends gti and my glanza :-D

The headlights are certainly not gti ones same with the bumper and the rear spoiler! But good shell to make something nice!!

ye i know there not gti but if gti headlights pop up local i will take them..i couldnt have asked for a better shell at the price i got it for lad

there was a set on ebay gone for 70 pounds (bargain) there is currently another one on there for 50 atm. :)

sure ill get the main bits like wheels and coils first and then i will worry about other stuff

can anyone recomend a decent double din head unit, reasonably priced, has aux and usb and is handy to install

so after having a lot of trouble with the log book its now sorted and i can get to work with the moding.

next on the list is:

*sort out the vrt

*decent set of wheels

*coilovers

*gti interior

*what ever else i can get my hands on

Finally got going with a bit of progress

so today i bought new wheels of a mate and i have over the moon with them there 15x7.5 calibre dubs

i have only one picture for now but i will get more up

let me know what yous think. cheers.

finially got the vrt paid....at a hefty price tho :/

on the bright side i did buy a pioneer double din head unit

love how it fits in the dash and the lights match the speedos perfectly :)

i also built a speaker box for my two 6x9's

its not great but looks alri considering its made out of all different types of wood that i could find in me garage hahahah

Very nice!

Clean and tidy

IMO i prefered the old wheels, but hey, that's just me!

the thing i have spotted is that is has a 6n Polo mirror on the drivers side, and a 6n2 mirror on the passenger?

odd

but i have seen 6n2's with 6n mirrors? maybe it was a phase

and to add

you car has the dealer option spoiler which was about £130 before fitting and painting, and it's not often you see them!

Cheers mate

I think the previous owner smashed the wing mirror and just didn't bother getting the right one haha

I never knew that about the spoiler I just taught it was a cheep one he bought from a shop or something

Good to know about that

looks unreal lad :) your pvw sticker isn't straight lol :p

That's the new style Paul hahaha

Cars looking nice, love the boot. Polos come with an odd set of wing mirrors from the factory. I'm pretty sure only the gtis have matching stubby ones.

Sound lad

I'm nearly sure it's not a 6n2 one because it doesn't work with the electrics and its not a perfect fit but sure it will do for now till I get the main bits out of the way

Just a few picture updates of the radio and speaker box

Will probably get the speaker box covered a some stage to tidy it up a bit.

I also picked up the badboy at work for 50cent and surprisingly smells lovely

Bought a new set of recaros today and whipped them into it

Here's the outcome

at least there being put to good use :)

That's it lad. The hammer idea didn't really work hahaha

Gave it a quick wash today seeing as the sun was out :)

And a pic to keep the thread rolling while I wait for my coils

You may see where this is going
