Mat's Coupe

Featured Replies

Hi guys! Thought it was about time I posted my new coupe.

It’s a 1.0l with a GT camshaft and a four branch manifold giving it a slight kick. It’s been dropped 60/40 on springs The 14’s that were on the car when I got it scrubbed way too much for my liking, so I swapped them out for some spares to keep me going until I get some alloys. It has a full G40 interior which needs some work and the exterior is pretty shabby so I have my work cut out for me. The bumpers had been sprayed black previously (badly as you can see in the first picture) so I decided I would start by painting them again, adding a few small mods like a badgeless grill, clear indicators and a tow strap as well as a good polish.

Plans:

Fix up all the bodywork
New exhaust
Alloys
Coilovers
When I can afford the insurance I’ll put a new engine in it.

I’ll get some interior pictures up soon and will keep you updated.
Look forward to being part of clubpolo and hearing what you guys think.

Thanks dude. Completely changed the look. Might get some spacers for the rears though.

Yeah I do. I'll upload when I can. I had to cut out a massive chunk out of the bumper to get it to fit though! Unfortunately don't drive this beast anymore. Going to have it up for sale as soon after I have given it a good seeing to and got it ready for it's new owner :)

Remove the GT badge - it's not a GT!

Looks nice though.
