  • the BILT polo

    ladies and gentlemen, ive finally gotten around to writing up a thread on my 77.
    my beloved polo has undergone a mild makeover in comparison to the day i bought.

    it all started on at the melbourne motorshow last year mid july. i went with the intention to buy a new car. i felt like a toss up between the mazda 3 mps or a golf. as i was passing through vw, i saw a polo. love at first sight.


    3 weeks later, i have my own 77tsi.



    didnt take long until the mod bug hit, say hello Mr Whiteline!



    the moment my creativity and the mod bug collided, i got a little excited with my heat gun and some abs plastic haha







    euro spec fog-lights ftw and 35-50mm ride height drop



    always had a thing for rs4's



    and as she sits now )





    list of mods she has on atm:
    HID lights
    intake
    rear muffler delete
    rcd-510
    rockford fosgate p2 12" sub
    h&r 35-50mm springs
    whiteline rear swaybar
    sharkfin antenna
    big wheels
    ebc red stuff pads
    changed brake fluid (forgot to what :/)
    window tint
    debadge

    and in regards to the plates, its my last name, the car isnt 'built' haha

    the car looks awesome! Great choice of wheels too
    I've been thinking of replacing my GTI front grille to the standard type too... looks better IMO

    Where did you get the sharkfin antenna if you don't mind me asking? i had a look on ebay and there are several types. if you could help me out with a link that'll be great

      The Current/New 2012/2013 Grille would be a good choice as its a polished black finish.

      Got my brother going to Germany for business so he will be bringing that back for me

                      I wasn't trying to be funny lol why are you getting so defensive I actually love the front look of the "R" it looks more aggressive than the GTI hence why I said I'd love the front grille on mine

                        We may be talking about two different "R"s hahaha.

                        And I wasn't defensive? I was having a laugh myself...hmmm

                          Very easy to swap. Just remove the plastic capping above the boot that holds the headliner up and just reach in with a shifter. My mistake was buying a 9n shark fin so the connector was different but I'm handy with a crimper so was a piece of cake

                              They are 18x9 et35 with 215/30 kumhos. Contrary to popular belief, they fit somehow haha
