Simple Stance - 2001 VW Polo 16 Valver

[Deaky97]

Had to raise my car slightly, this has upset me a lot. However the constant smashing of the subframe and sump guard isn't fun. So for now it'l have to do.


It is only a very minor raise mind...

So, bits. Money was spent, things were collected.

Collected a complete GTI bootlid, that i've now stripped for what i needed, a spare GTI bumper, GTI HID's, carpets and a load of other little bits and bobs! I'll be putting all the bits on over the course of the month in preparation for Ultimate stance..

I've also put the Gotti's off my GTI onto this now too, i personally think they suit this more.....

So, my wheel hunt as ended.. i feel that the Gotti's work so well on this!



I'm putting my Momo Team 300 steering wheel on this later today too after work, will be perfect in this!

[screescree]

Gotti's look spot on.
Doesn't look as fragile anymore, much more "daily" suited.
I'd be tempted to go "track car" look though haha

[hinrichs]

Gotti's look perfect, glad you decided on those for this car.

Know exactly what your saying man, has a bit of a presence about it now! Hahaha, well, that's sorta the plan. Have you seen the Granturismo racing academy sunstrip i've got for it?

Yeah glad you agree, i'm tempted to get another set of staggered's if they exist! Would love a set of 8J's for the rear

So, last night i decided it was time to remove the horrible dated boat wheel that resided inside my Polo.

(Random bit of tape on dash is just keeping the resistor safe that stops the airbag light coming on)

So seeing as JDO's off the road and won't need a Boss on it for a while, i've borrowed the Boss off that for now to use on my Polo until i can afford another one.

Instead of my Mountney Steering wheel, i've gone with my Momo Team 300.



Full on Mario kart hahaha, annoyingly my horn doesn't work now though? Which is odd because the setup is no different to that of my Lupo's, and they've both worked fine with an aftermarket wheel... Bloody VW's

Looking good man, digging the Gottis!

I need to get a steering wheel like that momo for my Golf haha

So while doing some work on JDO over the weekend, i found the time to do a few jobs on the Polo.

Cheers mate! The camber on mine is all natural mate, you can get around 5° to play with with the oval hole provideded on each strut!
