So after my last car decided to spectacularly blow up I needed a cheap run around that I'd be happy driving daily and could modify as I went along.

Wanted another polo for a while but due to having two young kids had to be 4 door and have a big boot. So when this saloon with only 56k on the clocks popped up I had to have it.

Was completely standard when I got it and this is how it looked.

So the first thing was to make and fit a cat back exhaust. Rear section was sourced from one being broken an adapted to fit.

Next was some coilovers to get him sitting a bit better.

Then managed to pick.up some cheap bbs ra's

Then this happened :( someone not looking when reversing bumped into it :(

Nice Xmas pressie fitted to cheer me up

Then fitted some smaller tyres to get him a bit lower and fitted few new bits to the front to get him back on the road as my daily.

Then after lots of searching and deciding I got some new wheels. 15 inch polished Remotec A's. Had a few issues fitting them as had to get the centres professionally bored out to 57.1 to fit..

Managed to pick up some nice mk3 colour concept leathers locally. So front went straight in and I'm halfway through adapting the rears to fit

Wheels finally on and very happy

Custom made some polished centre caps to fit the wheels (need a little more work but look good)

Then these arrived this morning to sort the rear fitment out :) so job for the weekend is rolling the arches to get them on

Many more plans to come and will keep updating pics :)

Plans for the future

- Roll arches to fit spacers am sort rear fitment out

- Cordoba 16v front bumper (going to give it a go of smoothing it off myself)

- Fit rear seats once modified to.fit.

- fit an colour code seat ibiza mk2 side skirts

Nice bbs where did you get them done. I.e refurbished... Look wicked

Done them myself bud. Few evenings of sanding down and polishing the lips then quick coat of black for the centres. Not the best job but certainly looked a lot better... Try to do as much as possible myself it's all fun an learn at the same time :)

i love that car, looks so nice with 16v bumpers

that front grill was easy to put?

i want to do the same

The headlights on.the polo.are a different angle so.you have to cut the surround around the headlight to get it to fit properly. But doesn't quite clip in.right asclips are in a slightly different place. It was only temperary till my seat grill is Debadged and resprayed.

I was afraid it was smaller on the sides, I love this grill, I think I'm gonna try to mod so that it fit

Wheels look smart man!

Don't make the mistake in presuming stuff from a 6n fit.

They mostly certainly do not! Made the mistake a few times haha
