A U.K. Dub on jdm wheels! I like where this is going! damn nice car sir!

[Oli]

Thanks!

Right so got the wheels fitted up. Played with spacers, ruined arches etc etc.. Got the car sitting lower than the vast majority of static Polo's thanks to home built custom coilovers.



And there's some more on my blog here (pics taken before front wheels got spaced out 13mm)

Man thats low! I wish the streets in my town were good enough to be that low. The Enkies look so dope too!

[Oli]

I've not updated this in a long time! So I sold the Enkei's (big mistake) and bought some 16"x9" Borbet T's. After alot of fettling, color changes and broken sumps it looked like this.



The frame is ridiculously low at this point. Like 1cm from the floor so the airbags have had to be switched off.

I ran it like this for around 3 months but as it's getting towards winter and Tax and MOT were due (Had no chance of passing) I decided to take it off the road to do all the things I've wanted to do since owning it.





















Main plans are to get it slightly lower. Double the power and add some 'Time Attack' styling.

Looks good man! But if you go any lower you will probably be spitting sparks everywhere you drive.

Love the borbets

Never knew you were on here! Follow your thread on edition. Why have airbags had to be turned off?

[Oli]

Thanks guys.

Joe I've turned the Airbags off so that if I hit anything in the road hard then they wont explode in the passengers face. I'm learning from someone else's mistake.

Lowered front more.



Got rear sitting better.



Bay was going back together. Then decided to semi smooth the inner wings.

[Oli]

Sold the wheels, bought more Enkei's. Lowered car more, tucking rim on 17"s.

The new wheels look great. That rear is sitting perfect.

Went to UD. Got inspired. Bought a couple of parts from Regal Autosport.
