cool mate, looks great i would put the plate back to its original location evn though it has been smothed off!

cant wait to see final pictures

do you have a break down of costs? pm me if you do i am keen to know the cost involved n doing your front bumper!

i know prices vary but a ball park figure would be nice

are the technomagnesio wheels? 8-)

Cheers Christian

hi mate, i reckon on its own the bumper costs around £200 but that is just a guess as I'm having a lot done, the wheels are tm's in 7x16 et37, they are so close to the struts but i just get away with it cos of the slightly stretch 195/40.

phillyt1988- it is a shame isnt it, my plan is to get it sprayed as it is otherwise it wnt be ready for alltypes and i wanted there because I'm a member of detailed uk n its their first show as a club, then the body shop dude is gna sell the lid for me and do anuva one, but I'm gna do summin special with the recess not quite sure yet tho.

morudy- hi mate av u got you are valver back yet, I'm dying to see it , still! lol

Acky- I'm getting it done at kerrs autobody repairs, located in rockferry, on the wirral.

poundie- at the mo I'm putting my old rm's of my old red saloon on which are 7.5" n 8.5" rm's just for the show, then I'm striiping them n aving 8's all round for a while, then see i have the dosh to get a different set of splits abit rarer cos at the mo every other polo as got rm's on lol, when i started my project i said ooo not many people are running rm's at the mo, but as it is progressing there are more popping up. its not really an issue just need to make them more special, got a few ideas yet.

cheers for all the comments people, much appreciated,

o nearly forgot, I'm getting the sexy lady bak on sat nite, which is gns be a rush to get it clean, still have two bbs to polish.

so whos going alltypes then?

mike

Edited by mike_6kv

looks quality mate! makes me want to save up and have more work done on mine but i think more powers my main concern! hope to see it at inters for a proper look!

nice mate 8-)

SWEEEEEEEEEET!

Mike that looks absolutly lush mate! Youve got me excited about my wheels now! What tyres are you running (i know I've asked before but got a memory like a gold fish!)

Got to say tho your boot lets it down big time for me, even just a cut down number plate recess would be better and more tidyier, everything else just looks mint!

Are you defently going to be at inters?

Dan

Mike that looks sweet!!! 8-)

get the boot sorted for inters and it should be looking MINT!!!

8-)

Very nice mate!

Looks sweet as (part from the boot)

Will look even better frenched tho!

Nice work! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
