3/12/2012 Update - TrisK's Daily Polo - Stance/Fitment/Low etc

[TrisK]

Well, i had my Glanza. and decieded i wanted rid so that the girlfriend and I save some money to move in together.

I was driving my sisters 1.4 8v fiesta for a bit, and after the glanza that made me want to end my life. so i went looking for something cheap.

I found a Polo GTI. 2000, with 88,000 miles. Just had a new clutch, cambelt and service and 4 new tyres.

I offered him a cheeky 1400, he said 1800, then eventually we met half way. I was happy.

Heres one of the only pictures I have:

The polos are known for coming with the BBS's as standard, but they are known for corroding badly so first job was to clean these up:

Decieding that was enough a few mates and me spent a couple of weekends with the sand paper and rattle cans:

It then sat like this for a little bit

before i decided it was far to high and bought some suspension to do this:

and thats where it stands now

all thats left to do is so spacers, and my mate owes me a favour so will wrap the mirrors (and maybe the roof) gloss black for me.

its no glanza, but its ok for now

any opions, guessing your all gonna hate it but as i keep telling myself when i own my own house itll be worth it!

this is the GTI

so they are 123bhp.

So not that much slower than a standard glanza, and they dont feel like they might fall over in a corner either.

its not amazing, but its more exciting than my sisters fiesta

Tidy runabout black wheels ruin the clean look though, I'd have definitely resprayed them silver or maybe a light grey.

see i thought of that then deceided to do something else

long term i might get porsche wheels for it

or ive always had a soft spot for borbet a's

[TrisK]

The polo has wheel bolts rather than wheel nuts

and its impossible to find nice ones.

Does anyone have any reason why I couldnt put studs in into the hub, then use bolts?

[Socks]

porsche rims wud look gangster trisk! please do it

[TrisK]

here some photos recently now the suspension has settled

and i put a black VW badge back on

I want somebody to photoshop what it would look like with a black roof and mirrors,

and maybe a black bonnet. (probably too much)

but these photos are possible too low res

[Nanglebadger]

i like it, looks smart!!!!

nice and clean and the paint work looks to have come up a treat! kudos to u and your mates on a job well done with the wheels man!

theres a lot of stone chips on the bonnet. but i guess thats to be expected with a high milage car (90k).

but it still runs a dream and has had all the major bits done only a few thousand miles ago (cambelt, water + oil pump)

And over all even with the bits ive bought the car owes me well under 2 grand. bargain i think!

[Dan507]

my mate has on of these in black, nice little cars

[TrisK]

Anyone for my photoshop please?

[TrisK]

so for xmas i got some stuff to help my fit my mods!

ok, so a few small changes

picked up a BMC CDA carbon air filter for a really good price

took loads of wangling but it fits in the standard engine cover

just need to get some silicone pipe to reconnect the intake on the left hand side

here a quick photo with my mates puma'd fiesta freestyle (1.7 vvt)

I also fitted some new speakers

sound quality is great and gives a lot more bass (as i dont really want to loose my boot to a sub just yet)

last night i picked up this

i rested it in and it looks like this

so will bolt it in tomorrow and see what I think.

Hahaa, I can only agree on the last comment, show cages are gay, but it's deffinatle not lowered boyond daily use!!

i agree they are pointless

but i will be selling this soon (the show cage got given to me and take about 10 minutes to put in and out)

and will probably appeal to the kinda person im going to sell the car (for a profit) too

[EP91Bon]

Dayum thats low. looking good tho.

[TrisK]

Ok, so i decided against the show cage.

not my cup of tea

but i did get round to getting the roof done, so half arsed phone shots

And im toying with keeping this and getting some Rotas

Iddys gonna tell me to do it, as he wants my money!!

These are the ones id go for

and a photo iddy sent me of the dish

Should I do it?
