well i was really bored today and was browsing through my Photobucket and thought i would post some snaps of my old polo

in the 3 years that i owned the car it went through quite a transformation, was for the best i think that you will agree....

how the car looked when i bought it

got the windows tinted, fitted a new kamei grill and also a 16v bumper insert to get rid of all that silver up front. also had the skirts removed and the sills smoothed

next thing was some new wheels, loved the look of borbet T's and went for 14x8 ET15 all round

the wheels obviously scrubbed BADLY but dues to seized coilovers i had to purchase a new set of fk highsports so i could adjust to a better height

as much as i liked the look with the wide wheels, i always thought they didn't look like part of the car as they poked out so much, like here

so the car underwent a massive facelift! arches pulled out about 1" all round, new front end, bonnet smoothed, new rear lights, hidden SS exhaust etc

arches being worked on

new exhaust

arches before / after

and how the car now looked

got bored of the tints so they came off

then on some G40 wheels borrowed from Del for it's trip to the bodyshop to have the boot redone, it was all smooth but i bought a new boot and had the plate recess kept on this one

and the boot

to complete the car the interior/engine bay had to be tackled. 16v doorcards, mk3 golf Recaro interior, mk4 golf leather knob, tt pedals did the trick inside whilst some polishing/cleaning and stainless manifold cleaned up the bay

engine

anyways, hope that made for a pleasant read! was a great little car, don't miss it too much as the EK9 is a total hoot to drive, but thought i'd share some pics!

here's some final pics i got before it was sold

Sweet car, liked it more with that other bumper though

went through a fairly radical transformation! bet you miss it still..

one of my favourite mk4's!

i was a little wheni first saw the initial pics!

great transformation!

I preferred it before

haha only joking looked good :)

thanks guys!

Polo looked fantastic once you had done all the work to it.

Really love the front end shots.

Good work mate.

You know where the car is now?

sold the car to polo.6n.max back in April last year and sure he came up from Suffolk for it, he sold it on again quite recently so not sure

very nice indeed! loks alot better just before you sold it to how it did when u first modded it

Top thread, looks a bit like my polo in one of the shots.

that looks the tits! very nice

Great transformation and a lovely looking polo

sweet car looked lush after the body mods

Thought i would bump this thread to see if anyone knows who owns it now?

Quite interested to see how it's going/looking these days

I've replied in this already BUT that old front bumper.. i actually really liked :-/ i think after seeing so many valver bumpers now i woudl rather have something like that.

thats really nice car mate, radical transformation,

looks really clean, did it ever get a respray or is that original paint??

can you not see the pic of it in the bodyshop above with the wheel arches being brutalised? Think that kinda answers this

yeh but there is a difference between geting the arches painted and blended and painting the whole car??

sold the car to polo.6n.max back in April last year and sure he came up from Suffolk for it, he sold it on again quite recently so not sure

i miss it aswell now after i sold it.big mistake of me.

i sold it to a guy on ed38 called marco-polo who then sold it on again to some one.dont know who though.i have put a few topics up trying to find it but failed.:(i know he had the sills replaced and abit of paint work done but that all.

and yeh i got on a plane and flew to aberdeen and drove the 600 miles back lol..commitment heyyy.i would love to buy it back.
