Yup that was mine mate! Not likely to see an identical one

top job you have done there, looks rate nice!

fancy respraying my polo for me hahah

you got skillz.

black centres yellow barrels works.

keep it up, ignore the haters.

top work well done my man should be proud :)

You got baaaaare skills mate!

And you will always get haters on a forum like this, because its not "Euro"

I also got negative comments when i posted pics of my Skyline up.

Absolutely spot on job you done there matey!

And those Advans are the best old school jap rim you could put on a Rice Rocket like yours!

And id go for painting the wheels like you planned too, gold dish with black spokes.

I've got a set of these on my Skyline but mine are the ones with the anodised blue rim and black spokes.

Amazing how this site is specificaly dedicated to Volkswagen Polo's and one of the largest threads on here is all about a Toyota Starlet!

WTF!

Not saying the cars gash or owt nor that Rahim Ice Cream's talent and workmanship is poor (cuz its not) but why is this on here?

Edited 1 June, 200818 yr by 123stevevw

Well why is there a section for NONE POLO'S if people are gonna cry and whinge like pussy's when somebody post's a thread up in it???

If you dont like cars that aint polo's then dont click on the none polo link, simple as that!

And it just shows how much work the young lad has put into doing his car up his self, thats why its one of the larges threads on here!

And it also shows that people appreciate the work hes put into his car which is also another reason this is one of the larges threads on here, as people are posting their comments about it, hence the reason for it having 15 pages of comments, and only 3 people moaning about it!

So stop bitchin and give it a feckin rest will you!

dude has mad skills

been watching this project on toyotagtturbo.com for abit. when you do turbo it are you going ct9 or hybrid or td04.

not gona turn this into a bitch fest, that wasnt my intention, what i was saying was (if you read my post again/properly) that yeah his workmanship and talent is good and the car aint bad, HOWEVER, it would be easy to assume that a Non Polo section on a VW Polo site, which has a large role in the VW scene, would mean other VW's not any other car. Not once did I say I didnt like the car and not once did I say that it was a shit effort.

Nice car Rahim Ice Cream and shit you got talent, and don't take my previous post the wrong way like the above please cuz that wasnt how it was meant (my bad if it reads offensively)

can i just say, i have just read through this thread, and i have to say you have done an awesome job for a 16 year old!!!!!

when i was 16 i was still playing around on my pushbike being biker boyz lol.

you have done an awesome job, youve taken critisism on the chin, you no doubt have an awesome skill......

keep up the good work fella

top job mate, lots and lots of effort put in! not keen on the actual car but brilliant job never the less

Saw you driving it past Greenhead College yesterday, sounds good!

Have you passed your test already? :-)

there some boy that lives near me and works in a garage up the road from where i work hes got a black turbo glanza quick as f*** spoke to him a few times and hed done quite a bit of work to it but went to his work the other day to drop a car off for an mot and his car was looking a bit fucked in the corner as he had rolled it. the starlet looks quite gd in yellow only ever seen black prefer the look of the older ones though.

is that the one with the HUUUUUUUUGE fuck off intercooler mounted on the front ??

Wow thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated!! No offence taken from any posts all the comments made me smile :)

Them Advans on that Skyline are yummy

I'm starting to respray my brothers starlet now too, I'll get some pics up once its done

PSWPolo I live right near Greenhead College, I am a student there too (just going to second year now). PM coming your way!

I'll probably Turbo it next summer, and when I am after more power I'd ideally be after a CT9 Hybrid

A few new pics...

FINALLY... The Recaros are in the car rather than in my bedroom doing nothing.

A bit more modifying of the seats/rails got me this far...

Bolted in nicely

Now I just need to get the bottom half of the seats on the rails properly, but thank god the rails finally fit in the bloody car!

Btw they feel amazing with the new steering wheel etc

How cool with no bonnet

Nice few coats of primer:

Two coats of gloss black:

Flattened now ready for another couple of quotes then a buff

Glanza rear seats:

Before:

After:

Thats it for now, I was half way through prepping the front bumper to be resprayed but my brothers car has popped up so I'll sort mine out after spraying his!

And to finish off... a pic of my bros car in its current state after we have been sanding it:

well mate u have a top job on this.

this is not only good for a 16 year old this isgood regardless of age

top effort

Cheers dude

I have just resprayed my brothers for him too:

Saw you driving this past the bottom side of college today. :-) Looks good, really like the grey.

You should have gave me a wave mate. Yeah I borrowed it off him for a few hours on Friday.

great finish mate, keep up the good work!

Looks like you know what you are doing ..

Have you taken a course on painting or have you learnt through trial and error ?

What sort of equiptment do you use mate ?

Me and my friends are looking into spraying we have a compressor / gun .

We need to get a larger compressor for the painting and use the smaller one for a airfed mask .

How do you "bake the paintwork being in a garage ? Do you use gas heaters as they dont give off moisture or blow particals around in the air .

Any info will be gratly accepted as you have done a superb job for a home spray job ..

Cheers

Stevie

This car actually rules.

WTF is up with all the wankers going "oh its not a vw whinge whinge".

Fucking scene kids. This section isnt called "other vag" its called non-polos as in any car.

I'm sure most of the people posting non vags in here have a polo too hence them being on here and if they posted a thread of their polo youd be like "oh sweet you have good taste" then they post their other project and your slaggin them? Seriously, i hate all the scene kids that hate on anything non vag or non euro/rat. But the jokes on them, as they are preventing themselves from enjoying all the class non vag cars that they could be enjoying as well as the vws.

Dude, i dont know how you managed to do such a good job on painting and modding this diy, but you are a proper legend the work in this car is fantastic.
