Step 1: Buy 6n2 polo from nice gentlemen. Step 2: buy coil overs, BBS wheels and stereo bits. Yet another low polo on BBS wheels, only differences being it has a genuinely good stereo not halfords plastic rubbish and Spax coilovers so my spine is still attached and my sump isn't a floor sweeper. My phone camera got scratched so better pictures will arrive, once i've sorted out the un-even lowerings. Boring thread? I think so.

Good cars these, although from experience I can say make sure you keep an eye on the wiper mech. The splines tend to gunge up and seize and are a PITA to sort out. Oh and the brake light switch design is rubbish so keep a spare handy otherwise you'll end up with lights that are always on.

I've got one of these, with the 1.4 TDI engine. Excellent little car, had it four years and it's never ever let me down. 62mpg easy and £30 a year road tax. Keep it subtle dude, less is more!

As i said it has settled out lower now but maybe a little more will happen, not much mind otherwise drive shaft and chassis will be making acquaintances. Started the long winded paint renovation today, clayed polished and waxed the bonnet and front wings. First car in a long time I've washed let alone waxed!
