  • UK Shadow Grey 6N Polo

    right so here goes.. never really posted on here so thought now was the time

    enjoy ( i hope )

    bought a 6n 16v back in june 2009 was bog standard apart from a 40mm wietec lowering kit and a badgeless grill



    drove around like that for a month and decided some new wheels were a must ! so bought a set of mint bbs RA's with brand new tyres for £250
    Tah dahh !



    kept the car like that until october and saved up my wages for lots of bodywork to be done late november
    but then early october on a wet oily road.. hit a road sign, killed my car and ended up rolling into a field (N)





    a week after my crash still abit shaken up i decided that i needed another car, so all the money id saved up for my bodywork went on another valver that was identical to my first !

    drove round with it standard until just after christmas when id got enough money to buy these !




    and these !




    decided the rears had way to much poke for my liking



    so yet again saved up, sold the 3" dishes and bought some 2's from JustMatz




    which brings me almost up to date





    since the last pictures have bought a GTI splitter and de-wipered the rear.

    and bought a few more goodies ready for the body shop next month

    sneaky peek





    then because i had much thinner wheels on i tryed out more lows



    as you can see i cant go much lower because of my exhaust (: but anyway...
    drove around with those wheels for a week and I'm ashamed to say i was gutted to find that brightly coloured wheels get waaaaay more attention than my RM's

    my respray day fast approching i got my arse into gear and finaly fitted my 6n2 bootlid

    old boot off (:



    new boot on !



    Then came the big jump
    few after the respray




























    really sorry if none of that made sense... just copied bits of my club polo thread and put it on here
    comments and opinions welcome good and bad
    dont mind abit of constructive criticism

    Peace

    Did a proper job on the first one didn't you lol

    I love that colour, not feeling the car...yet... you can get it down another 40-50mm easily, do that and be cooler.

        yeah absolutely destroyed it tbh

        tyres are my issue at the moment.. and the fact its midway through an engine conversion..
        give it a month and when the engines in and ive got a better profile on the tyres

            Fitment, tyre sizes are all over the shop but I know its a WIP gets some smaller rubber so you can get the wheel sitting properly. No point having expensive BBS splits if theyre not going to sit royt!

            Looking forward to the progress though bud, loving the new 20vT purchase

              to be honest, the only reason its on those tyres is because i got them with the wheels
              shouldnt be long now until the 20vt is in and im rocking some new tyres
