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.

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.
