Hurdy's new Polo GTI..project time!

[Hurdy]

Never sure on wrapped badges but loving the surrounds. Makes the OEM style look cheap.

Was unaware of the performance potential.  Am almost convinced that I would prefer this over a golf to play with if I were ever in a position to have a modern toy hatch.

If I compared my ED30 to the Polo, I'd say that the Polo is faster day to day around town, and in the twisties it is definitely a smidge faster and more nimble, but on an open road the ED30 would have monstered it. Braking, I'd say the Polo on the 6 pots is better than the Golf ever was on the 10 pots, mainly due to the weight. On a Dragstrip the ED30 would be around 0.5 to 1.0 seconds faster as the Polo stands now, but give me another 4 months and the Polo will be just as fast to well over 100mph I reckon - and without having to strip out rear seats etc.

Okay, a couple of pics..

1st one is a daylight pic of how the car looks now.


2nd one is the look I'm going for on the front end - suitably mean and moody look

Looking really menacing man is it possible to carbon wrap the bit underneath the bumper grill? or the complete mesh surround?

car looks sweet mate,love what your doing with it, personally id keep the red bits in your grille, just my 2p's worth

[Hurdy]

I'm going to try the carbon on the red bit and if I don't like it then it will go back to red

Maybe carbon wrap the red bits on the grille, and just get a red GTI badge to break it up.

I like this idea!

Red carbon wrap?

hurdy, step away from the carbon wrap!

in all honesty the badge and foglight surround would look better satin black

Indeed, don't go over board with the carbon, or you run the risk of making it look like it's owned by a 17 year old
