97' Polo Open-Air Project

Hell yes it's getting closer!

Jonny, I need to get some measurements off your arosa at some point, the clocks... I have something in mind.

No bother mate whenever you like

Centre caps look 10x better

They're from the same place I sent you the link to mate!

Minor update,

My In-Pro front lights came, OEM style without the pattern on the glass, should help the car look cleaner and newer without looking too aftermarket.



Did a pair of wings for my brothers car, rubbed them all down to bare metal inside as there was some corrosion, then trimmed the lips to make them more stance friendly before stone chipping the insides for protection as he'll be running no arch liners.
Also note the indicator delete and the vent!
We then painted the inside edge, as they'll be painted on the car for a better match and blended in properly by my bodyshop.



Some other minor additions turned up for the polo too, including the open air stickers from germany

Looking good

New indicators from Germany.



These have just come out and are supposed to replicate 6n2 indicators perfectly. Hence them not looking aftermarket.

Just need to get the last few bits and pieces together in prep for it coming back.

Cool, I think these will go together nicely. We are gonna be doing some late ones in the unit putting the bad boy back together lol

I'm hoping to put it all back together one day at the paint shop mate, there's really not all that much that it needs to make it MOT worthy, then after it's tested, it'll be heading over to the unit for a thorough clean inside and to have everything put on it.

Ah well, plenty cleaning to do at least then. The preperation dust is the worst

Between you and Gav, the thing will look like it's just rolled off the production line... Cleaner infact! Haha

Haha, nothing but the best for this animal. I love love love the colour choice an know it's gonna do some trophy stealin'

NEVER order from FK... sent me bloody 6n2 indicators not 6n ones, now they're trying to say that they are 6n ones... funny considering i've had them on my brothers 6n2 to prove otherwise... BASTARDS!

Hang them! Haha

I'll just run one of my other sets of indicators lol, but I've told them that they're stopping me getting to a show haha.

Haha yeh man make a massive deal out of it! Say you had a shoot planned and stuff!

Wonder how much free stuff you could get out of this... Haha polos looking cool too pal!

Got to keep the wrong indicators and had my money refunded

Nice!

Now i've gotta find more indicators

Annoying thing is, I actually gave a set away a few months back lol!

FInal pics of the prep work before it goes in to get the door checks and roof coloured in
Ordered new genuine door hinges as mine were worn and I figured I might aswell do it while they're off











Still a few bits and pieces to do like scotch off the back panel and give the plastics a final block.

Should have the roof and door checks done in the very near future! Just waiting on the lower hinges to arrive from TPS

It looks smooooooooth haha. I said matte grey would look awesome Really can't wait for the finished product. All in good time dude

By the time you factor in all the little bits and the new wheels (schmidt's) and respray... what started off as a "quick tidy up / refresh" has probably cost me over £4k

Also just ordered a single wiper conversion kit and some more new indicators... they better be the right ones this time!

Gonna be skint the next couple months lol.

Who needs money anyway haha
