Cheers for your comments guys, much appreciated :)

@Damlow I bought the glass sealer from my local Autopaint dealer (Its International I think)

@Ptom who you talking about? I don't think I need to give credit to anybody, thanks to my dad for giving money when I need it but theres not really anybody else who has helped me with my car! (Apart from my cousin who has been coming down for the last week helping me with bits and bobs :) )

I should have a little update tonight

Lol, cheers man. Yeah this was my first paint job, I suppose I'll improve in the future. But still though, you can flat and polish Orange people so I'm not fussing!! I'm gonna get that done when the weather sorts itself out!

Got the drivers door card fitted today and also the passengers window motor and glass in. Need to drill a hole in the door to pass the wires through now, and wire the central locking up somehow.

wow I'm surpried at them mate, they look very good ddnt think they would lok as good as what they do in the car

good work

they look great mate,,,shows the clown that said they were ''chavvy'' lol.

Ill be honest, i think the outside is going to turn out lovely, inside I'm no fan but, i haven't even got back seats or carpet so i cant really complain about your door cards! lol

Fantastic effort and if i may say so, what a JDM y0! colour!

pick your wheels carefully!

Looks great!

I think the alloys you choose will make or break this car though!

I'm with tain I'm afraid...

Awful colour, awful car and polo forum so expect negative feedback.

Them doorcards could have been soooooo much better, they look well chavvy mate!

Edit : I do realllllly respect the work you have put into the car though! Not trying to be a c**t mate just saying what I think!

YoungDan, why the need?

You drive a silver Polo on ATS cups. WOW how original, just shows how much originality and creativity you have doesn't it?

The rims are only temporary, and I'll be keeping them as winter rims in the future. I was thinking of giving them a lick of paint in maybe Gunmetal Grey but I like how they look in Silver so I think they'll stay. Hope you like :)

Also got a new battery today and some wing repeaters (Ambers for now)

that colour is realy nice, dont realy like the car though but everyone to their own.

Thanks :)

Hey man, loved this project, my Polo is the same colour, seriously Give this place the fingers, it's loosing forum members left right and center because of the attitude developing on this place. just leave the project here and give us the address off your local forum so us who really appreciate this thread can watch it closely.

keep up the good work but........ don't go OTT on teh interior it is possible to code too much, and good luck with the wheel choice, rather you than me.

Ronal Turbo's FTW!

love the thread and the project i was after a sr for my first car but they were like rocking horse shit at the time.

my one critisism is the paint, I'm only commenting cos my dad has done it for 20 years and its been drummed into me but by all means its an amazing first go!

Cheers guys :)

@Demon thanks man, the bad comments won't put me off the site personally but yes it is gaining a pretty bad name for the site. I don't think I'll be doing any more colour coding apart from the speedo surround once I can get the fcuker off!

Still putting little bits on the car, I'll update tomorrow with more photos :)

I'd love to see what it'd look like on Ronals, photoshop anybody?!! :p

Edited by Rahim_Ice_Cream

ronals would look cool as fook...

I like the wheels you done in the first p-shop! would look mint :D

Its looking good, welll done you have put a lot of effort into this! it looks ver Jap style! and stay on ClubPolo i know theres a lot of moaners but just ignore it all lol

Try asking on the forum - there are some people around here with decent p-shop skills.

And ignore the nobs around here - the car wouldn't be my choice, but I have to admire the work you've put in.
