Guggu's 1.4 9N

7 April, 201511 yr

Hi guys. My first post on here, but I've been lurking around since I've owned my Polo.

Bought my 1.4 Petrol with 47k miles as my first car last summer and pretty much no work has been done until the beginning of this year. I've done a lot of work in it since then, so I've made up my mind to finally start my own thread and show you guys my progress.

This is how I got my car first - completely stock:

Only a new stereo had been fitted at this point.

I wanted to keep my car looking clean and simple, without overdoing it. In my eyes, less is more.

Decided to change my horrible hubcaps to some new alloys. I was torn between the traditional Comps, Pepperpots or the Montreals. Finally, I've chosen the Montreals. Found some on eBay which where refurbished.

A small addition were the smoked side repeaters.

This is how my car then sat:

As you can see from the above photos, the car needed some major LOW . Since I'm a student, I'm on a tight budget so I went for the JOM's coilovers. Didn't want to go too low as this is my daily car.

Also managed to get hold of a Mattig spoiler for the back. Moreover, I wanted to colour code my front and back valances.

How my car looked with all these additions: (couldn't resist not taking the car for a drive while my valances where being painted haha! )

The front headlight began to turn yellow and was badly scratched, so I got a new pair of headlights. Also, I love the 9N3's taillights, so I've picked up a pair as well. Painted my calipers and disc brakes in silver as well. Valances were also put together.

Getting checked by the doctor

This is how my car is currently sitting, which I am very satisfied:

The only future changes I would like to make are:

1. De-Badge Rear

2. De-Wiper Rear

3. Improve Car Audio

4. I'm not too sure about the Twin Exhaust Tip, maybe I'll change that to a Single or else nothing at all

5. Touch-up dents and chips

I would love to see what you guys think of my car, and any suggestions to improve are more than welcome!

Thanks for viewing my progress. I will upload better photos soon.
