This was what the car looked like when I bought completely standard nice and clean for £900 1.4 8v

The first few things I did to the car were nothing major and worth sharing on here new radio that was slightly different and I cant really show it but I installed a remote central locking kit that cost me £7 on ebay which works really well,

First major exterior mod I decided to do was purchase a Polo GTI honeycomb grill which cost me £35 I think for the price it completely changes the look of the car

I think purchased a set of TSW volcano alloys which were in poor condition for £80 with 2 ok tyres, I sprayed the alloys black sanding them using a primer and a lacquer to a glossy black, which has started to flake a little now but it could be due to the quality of the paint so I'm thinking of doing them again, they are 15" compared to the polo's standard 13" steelies and I have got some pretty basic Nexen tyres for now, They are a huge improvement on my previous wheel trims for a good price, the black matches the front grills. the Polo sits quite nicely on the bigger wheels I had to remove the rear splash guard to stop them rubbing but overall In my opinion it suits the car quite well, I am considering lowering the car but this would make it quite difficult to navigate up country lanes which are common around where I live. I also removed the "Polo" off of the rear of the car it is a subtle change but quite good makes the car look a lot better from behind

So far the upgrades have not been to major if anybody has any suggestions on what could be next for the exterior look of the car it would be appriciated, I am on quite a tight budget but would like to continue modding my polo, for the Interior I have upgraded to a blue stiched Gear gaitor along with some small parcel shelf speakers for now which make a huge diffrence in sound, I also have some Footwell LED's which I know not everybody is not a fan off but I quite like them.

How did you wire up the footwell lights

How did you wire up the footwell lights

Hi mate I wired them straight up the the Sidelights so when I turn the sidelights on they come on, The ones I bought had the same voltage and it worked quite well. they were cheap enough off of ebay,

any updates?

No updates since this post I've been quite strapped for cash,

Nice start luke, good deal on the wheels... Are you planning to lower it?

I can't help but ask, what is this I hear of a remote central locking kit for £7!!! 0_0.... Do you have the ebay link?
