Sarah the car looks awesome and you've defo made it your own like the black and red theme!

check it

Brave but cooooool!

cheers people. Cant beat some dub love. The roof was a gamble and it paid off.

Draker - save, and get a 2 jobs. Most of my mods are pretty cheap tbh. apart from the dishes.

Check roof cost me £25

aweome looking car sarah, was just wondering how did you do the checkered roof, looks great

Thanks dude, they are vinyl stickers just cut into squares in Gloss Black.

Got them off Mikepolo on here. Would recommend them

New plates soon as my front one is damaged.

very nice, the hard part is just getting them the same size, looks great though! would think to do the same with mine except its black so now sure what colour would look good? any ideas? was also going to ask when you changed your alloys, did you sell off the old set?

red and black always go, or white and black to be very original. Anything goes with black really. I've always liked purple and black together personally

I've only had one set of alloys dude

i had steelies with wheel trims before

yeah sorry i meant sell your old set of wheels

nah i keep them as winters, unless you wanna buy?

ok so quick update

Alloys are coming back this weekend after being off for almost a year due to damage. But i finally found a guy that has the balls and skill to fix it.

Plus my vandalism damage is getting sorted in a couple of weeks happy days

I can love my dub to its full potential again!!

sweet ride!

Love the checkered roof, you're car is the 1st mk7 polo I've seen with that.

Kudos!

Update time!

6 months ago The car looked like this

Then, a few months after that, i hit a curb, and this happend

£250 pound on AA roadside assistance and a 'Budget' £90 tyre later, on my friends 18th Birthday, i was more than gutted.

Took me soo long to find someone with the balls and skill to fix it, as the company that makes my alloys stopped producing them in 5 stud But i finally found a bloke in southend that would, and he still has it six weeks to this day

So my car was rolling back on shitty steelies with trims

So i thought i need to re-light the fire for my polo, so i decided, with some help from you guys, on a chequered roof

and 2 weeks after having that fitted, came Vandalism

4 flat tyres, wheel trims ripped off and chucked, dice dust caps knicked, and my wing mirror kicked off. Wankers. I went to the police, but really shouldnt have bothered

So my cars sat like this for a good few months

Then, i picked these up, for a cracking £40

Off a 96 Subaru WRX Sti Impreza. Granted they need a refurb, but I'm pretty chuffed with £54 inc delivery tbh!

16x7j

Trial fit

The Stud pattern is the same, however the centre bore is a couple mm tight. Is it possible to get that enlarged a couple mm?

The trial look

I'm not sure at the moment whether I'm doing them up and keeping them for my car, or selling on.

But I'm going to hopefully achieve this colour scheme

Any tips, comments and advice are welcome

And yes, i know i need coilies.

Car is looking shweet! Shame bout the rimmage but that last pic of them BBS look crazy!!!

Would look uber kool on the polo. Hopefully will see you at Polo Show as its always good seeing another 9n2 in the scene

What wheels are those BBS?? they look really similar to RX2's but those seem to have a bigger lip.

The new rims will look schweet when they are finished.

cheers guys. I should be at polo show if my funds are ok! Be nice to meet everyone.

The bbs are Rs gt's i think.

I'm pretty optimistic about the new wheels too veedub9n :-D

Although i will miss the dish of the old wheels they were sweet

doesn't everyone want that kinda colour scheme ?

yes

I'm thinking metallic black though, so its slightly different

just the other 3 to do next

awesome.

(foot job ? )

four done, just need two tyres and then they will be on

And here's how i did it

Very nice! what did you do about the centerbore issue in the end?

i drilled it out 58 mm with a hole cutter, Sorted!

Gutted about the wheels and the slashing of your tyres.

Those steels look lurvely !

I just bought two new wheel trims because I can't afford real wheels.

Not too keen on the painted headlight protectors although I should be as your front lights now look like that of a Polo 9N. I suppose I should put my headlight protectors back on at some point although I had issues with them taking the paint off ! Actually that's quite an idea you've got their Sarah....I might have to tint my headlight protectors although these ones only cover the four eyes so perhaps a yellow tint to give it an old style look.

see, you slated, now you rated

Edit: oh yeah my front vw badge is now all black as i thought the red and black looked a little tacky!

Edited 27 August, 200917 yr by mk7-sarah-c

And the rear badge is all red now. Will get pics up asap but my phones broke atm.
