I think they're ET17. Lights got done at the same bodyshop as the bumpers.

So max, wheres this minor update then? ;)

I got a PVW sticker, but I decided against putting it on, looked quite weird when I had it on. A few small bits in the post at the moment.

Max I'll buy it off you if its still useable?

Another small update, Car's just had a 5k service, runs so much better now. Plus got something in the post

To replace the bad/mouldy indicators :) Tried to get rid of moisture in one of them and ended up melting the bonds

Old on left, new on right

Not meaning to sound negative or anything, but why put a pvw sticker on? Maybe its just me, but i would prefer if my car was featured in pvw before i put sticker on :) Just my personal 2p though.

As for the new lights! They look 10 times better! Indictors are a bas to get back in!!! grrrr

very true polo01 i tried to replace my drivers side one...got moudly easy to take out difficult to put in!!!

meh, they're easy when you know how. Maxim and myself have done it a couple times! aint that right!

I'd say they are more difficult to stay in. The plastic lug things that push in and out are total crap and don't hold them in well enough. I came out my car one day to find the indicator hanging from the car!

Can't say that my indicators have ever fallen out, and I've had them out loads of times.

On another note, some new things coming this way at the end of the week :p

Iv had the indicators out loads, only ever had a prob with it falling out once but that was my fault! I still find it extremely frustrating locating them back though!

Keep the updates comin max ;)

stunning car max, am gettin 6n2 silver polo in july, and 1st mods are rims/coilovers, what size rims u running on (they fill up the arches nicely)??

A few unfortunate updates, that I wish I didn't have to put up.

In the space of the last month or so, people have decided to show their appreciation for how much they like my car by scratching my bumper, and keying my boot.

So the car will be going in for some more spraying in the next few weeks.

But along the way I've picked up a set of these...

Anyone wish to guess what these are for?

@Fostar - all the details are on the first page.

^ For some nice bucket seats? :biggrin:

And what's the seat situation?

Got the car back from the bodyshop yesterday, so a few quick snaps, as I was in a big rush to get home at the end of 2nd year of uni now!

Doing a top job matey seems that you take a lot of care over your car, this is probably my favourite 6N2 but i'm torn between yours and Tomo87's old GTi, keep up the good work :thumbsup: :-D

Max can't u drop it anymore? Car looks sweet but i cant help but think there i fairly large arch gap :lol:

Been a long time, since last update, went away for quite a long period of time, hence car sat in the garage.

Now, this is what's changed

With the kind help of my good friend Giorgio,

And, behind the wheel, quite difficult to see, but the disc now covers all of the visible spoke area.

And another tiny addition,
