Please don't ruin another 6n with "YOLO" bright colours and ratlook yo scene curse word!
No offence, but as a Polo owner I'm constantly getting earache about how every idiot out there has one and they all look and drive curse word. When I say to someone I have a Polo they all think I'm a douche.
Stay classy with it PLEASE!!!
As Slacker says, body coloured wide steels would look good, I think if it was mine I'd try to stay quite OEM, clean it up and polish it with some standardish looking silver alloys nice and low (actually I like the hubcaps you've already binned) Anyway, each to their own, good luck with it.

some nice cream / off white banded steels would look nice IMHO.
mk2 golf doughnut wheels?

my dougnut steels only cost me £20 without steels - you might find some at a scrapyard for around that price.

No no I'm not slagging off the polo at all! It's an awesome little car and it's lovely to drive I'm not denying that, may seem I'm coming off with the stereotype curse word that people do to polos but I'm just brainstorming silly ideas because I want it to be a unique looking car! I wouldn't rat this beauty don't worry about that all I'm doing is lowering it and getting some nice steelies for it that I may spray white or w/e I decide when I get them! Sorry if you took offence or if u thought I was taking the curse word out of polos because I'm not! Sorry that's not what I meant. I can see you're not slagging them off - I don't think I said that. I've not taken offence at all, in fact I'd be the first to say that Polos're cheap and not particularly great. Just wanted to steer you towards the tasteful OEM sort of modding route as so many of these get chopped springs, roller painted and scrapped. I think a lot of the younger generation start off wanting them to look "unique" on a budget and they spiral into the slippery slope of bright colours and loads of stickers which IMO doesn't look fantastic. I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll end up with, sorry if you thought I was offended/being a purist about a £400 6n! Creamy steels would look good on that pistachio actually. |

Another to agree wide creamy wheels would suit its colour well (always thought pistachio was more yellow than mint green though). Actually most pastel colours...
or soft 3-spokes given its rounded '90's body...
So many possibilities it probably depends upon what you find first!

Looks like a nice base in an unusual colour I started with this as a base for a car for Mrs BC   And with a few parts (mainly VAG) sourced cheaply from a nice friendly Polo forum and a bit of effort ended up with this   They don't need a lot to make them look nice (in my eyes) |
