  • if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer
so as above i decided on a 1.4tdi polo as it was in my price range and was cheap to insure and run and it obviously had to be a vdub, was a real head over heart buy! my bank balance had had enough of running my mk2 golf gti as a daily averaging about 30mpg :)

however saying that i can't be running a daily that doesn't look half decent  :grin: so the first thing i did was to colour code the awful front and rear valance, and all the bump strips and door handles







here she is all colour coded and cleaned up, i think it's a serious improvement over standard



i have also got hold of some bora sport alloys for the princely sum of £55  :grin: i have refurbed them in bmw sparkling graphite and have been fitted with new vw centres, i have also got a set of 165/50/16s ready to go on for a bit of stretch (about as much as you're gonna get on a 6.5j rim aha)

fillered and primered



end result :cool:



got some pressed plates and 100w bulbs on order atm and then i'll be selling the original wheels to fund some coilys and then she will be spaced out for a proper decent stance :grin:

and here's a shot of the mk2 gti, unfortunately she got hit so waiting to get funds together to get her back looking sweet again :)

this weekend me and my mate did a bit more work to the daily, fitted new pressed plates, debadged the rear, fitted a new stubby aerial and got my alloys and tyres on, also changed all the front bulbs to 100w bright white ones, only to find one of the filaments was busted on one, so guess i'll be taking the front bumper off again next week! :(

given her a good clean and wax too and she's looking just about right atm, except for the awful arch gap, never fear though, philj ta technix coilovers will be ordered this week along with shortened drop links so i can go proper low :D

anyway a few snaps :)

bumper off



cleaned up





and a couple repping the local vdub car club me and a few mates run :)





any comments welcome guys!

cheers dude, never see many 9n polos with a good stance and they never seem to sit low enough so i plan on getting it lowered and properly stanced out :D

coilovers aren't in stock until next week though so won't have the until them end of the month =/

yeah man i know what you mean, funds are a b*tch

hopefully get spacers sorted once it's lowered then i'm thinking about a stickerbomb vinyl roof as my mate wraps cars for a living so won't cost much :P :tongue:
