Very nice indeed! The wheels are from a Mk3 Golf aren't they? Look really good, wouldn't mind some for my Polo. Has it been lowered - seems to have a very good stance?  |

The word CLEAN doesn't even come close.
Does it look as good in real life as it does in those pictures?

Thanks for the kind words guys - I think the Derby does look better in photo's than in real life i'm afraid, although it is very clean and largely rust free it does have a number of scratches/dings (the kind that have accumulated through generally being in the way when trying to get at stuff in the garage where it was stored) which don't show up on a photo. Unfortunately aswell it has been keyed across the bonnet and boot and down the r/h side  Though this had been done before I brought it. Yep she's been lowered 60mm using Apex springs though I doubt the front has gone down that far as I replaced the top mounts with a improved version which contains the bearing fully and are a bit thicker. So a bit of spring cutting may be required to get this stance.....  (if it works!) You're right Stu the wheels are supposed to be Mk3 Golf GL wheels - but I haven't seen any yet with the same 'castlated' design  Would like a set of detailed Fuch wheels like the above though  |

Thinking about it now, the Porsche wheels suit the earlier car with the chrome bumpers but I rekon they would look at odds on my facelift Derby - so shall be sticking with my steel wheels for now Besides those Fuch wheels cost £££s which would be moving away from my budget intentions - would prefer to spend the money repairing the vandal scratches. I got my wheels through a guy I know who works in the parts dep't at the local VW main dealer so got a good deal. Should think they are readily avaliable from scrapyards etc? |

The little Mint green one's really nice. There's a maroon one of those in my home town, it's in great nick but it's got wheels on it that are a bit too big!

Get some G60 steelies dude! Was thinking of getting some, but I'd end up putting them on my Golf instead! Not sure the Polo could handle 15inch wheels? |
