Comments: i plan to have coilovers fitted in time for the polo show along with getting my 16v bumpers sprayed that i have in the garage. my wheels could do witha refurbish, and then tidy up all the bodywork.

i wouldn't mind a new sound system, and look at amping up my components and losing my 7x10s for a an amp and sub setup

honk!

how on earth you keep that thing so red i will never know!

Although its standard vw paintjob it really looks nice well the pics uve took of it really brings it up good....

keep it up dont let the red fade lol!!

damn you mine is an n reg polo mk4 aswell needless to say my paint job looks nothing like that mines faded and pasty white blotches are appearing. Unless of course i polish even that dissapears after not too long. anything you can reccommend in order to hold the colour for longer after a polish. waxing it asweel?

a serious polish is recommended to bring your paint back up to scratch,followed by a good car wax!

people rave about autoglym super resin polish and meguiars tech wax! only ever used auto glym products though!

i wash my car usually twice a week and wax it once and apply autoglym extra gloss protection after a wax!!

if you start to wash your car ergularly and wax it you will notice the wax will protect the paint and build up a protective barrier to resist fading!

turtle wax magic colour would be good for you car i reckon to help bring back up the redness and a fair bit of elbow grease!

thought i would update this thread with the changes and progress i have made since posting initially.

i have had my 16v bumpers sprayed and fitted, and fitted some coilovers to my car courtesy of jackson tuning

i also had my wheels refurbished and mirror polished by www.pureklas.co.uk the work is outstanding, highly recommended!

anyway i thought i would post up some pics.

the 16v ligfhts are slightly tinted over standard ones! these are much darker

these as far as i'm aware are hella magic colour ones. i bought em second hand of the forum quite a few yrs back!

not seen many other pairs like em. they may even be sprayed up (bodyshop job) but the finish is spot on if they are as i cant tell
