Polo 6N 1 and a half.... (build thread-picheavy)

Featured Replies

hey guys! this is my second car after my corsa C blew up!

bought this car for my sister in its original state (minus alloys)

34E6BB30-8F5A-4470-B0C4-FE21FDF84983_zps

as the car was orriginally for my sister she wanted it to look like a new polo!

6r bumper, 6n2 bumper and a few cans of white paint later...

and finally......

A8B46A87-2513-4134-8F35-34F1AE204D77_zps

eventually due to the lack of power steering and generall 'oldness of the car' she moved onto a SportsKa and i addopted the car we affectionately know as tommy....

now for the real fun to begin :spiteful:

tommy is not my lucky car.

first i took him off roading and went into a feild f**king the front bumper

Interesting thread but you posted it in the wrong section :P

I'm glad you took those stupid huge black wheels off. And yeah this is in the wrong section.

Glad you scrapped the 6r bumper, looked so horribly out of place on a 6n. But yeah like the guys have said this is in the wrong section, this a mk4 polo not a mk3 :P

EC21F5D0-91FF-453D-BC9B-5F79DF814C12_zps

5D814F92-F3D0-4591-92D1-3B99B60B4D62_zps

finnish body work and paint properly

make false floor for back

Looking good. You should smooth the boot handle though.
