    Mk1 Polo Project

    And into the bay.... I'm going for a fairly smoothed look with alot of things deleted, so a per my rewiring we plated up the fusebox holes I then proceeded to grind all the bay back to bare metal and apply high build etch primer, especially good for finding imperfections...

    Mk1 Polo Project

    Howdy folks, thought I'd drop in as I'm just about finished with uni work so finally got my free time. The Ibiza is still in the family, my brothers put about 25k on it since July, and I gave it him with about 60k on it, hard to belive we bought it at just 16k! It's for sale soon though if...

    Mk1 Polo Project

    I moved up to Edinburgh to uni in September so progress has been really slow lately, I sealed and primered the floors at Xmas. I've bought a couple of parts, notably a NOS genuine wing (seriously rare) for £25 :funk: and this Aiming to make close to 100bhp with some other engine mods

    Black Roof...

    Looks good dude, I'd leave it on for a while though to see how you feel about it in a couple of weeks. I can see it being one of those things you may be sick of in a month or so. How many times have you had those rims refurbed!?
