Hi guys,

Thought I should start a thread of my progress with my polo, its a 1.0 in Mercato blue with only 51,000 miles on the clock which I picked up for £1500 as my first car. Progress has been quite slow so far due to the lack of money as I'm only 17 at 6th form (worst decision of my life deciding to go there) but I've got plenty of big plans for the future which should keep me motivated.

So, first thing I did after only having the car for a day was to de-badge it, small mod but pretty effective.

I then bought a headlight restoration kit from halfrauds to try and tidy up the headlights and it worked a treat.

After:

De-wipered:

Had a right mission trying to get it off but after an hour it finally came loose.

Got some pressed plates:

While I was doing wiper off I decided to re route the wiper hose so it would point at pedestrians when i passed which is pretty funny

I then got a sub off a mate for 50 quid and a chavy stereo from halfrauds

I then decided to get a Sharan badge off of eBay, for just a fiver I couldn't resist. It makes quite a big difference to the rear end!

I then colour coded the front, rear and side bump strips as they look crap black:

think it looks so much better!

I then found some old merc trims off ebay for £30 and had a go at tidying them up, well chuffed with the results!

Thats it so far but was just wondering whether you think the plate looks better here:

or here:

Hope you like the progress so far!
