What did you do to your Polo today?

[VWindahouse]

What notch?? I think you are thinking about the Golfs...

Yeah Rhys...I'm still thinking about selling it, but you have first dibs...

Looks a bit like this before you get the little void filled in



As you can see you also loose the red strip on the bottom of the grille as well.

some guy on UK Polos just put holes on the badgless and cliped the red strip from the old grill in

I actually don't like the badgeless grill on the Polo. I reckon a black badge is the way to go.... and is the reason i will be ordering one.

[VWindahouse]

I don't know about that IMO this is still my all time favourite Polo





No rice, just down, out, sleek & tuff

Yeah I really like that one too but remember that's also been shaved a fair bit at the front which adds to its awesome looks. I wonder how much that would cost to get done....hhmmmmm

Shaved and no badge I like. Standard and no badge actually looks like there is something missing and doesn't look right. Just my opinion.

[Whubbsie]

don't show him that!!! haha thats the look I'm aiming for shaved front sides back and hatch door, badgless grill, satin black front bit, bonnet and roof, on air ride, 16s or 17s staggered 8-9wide..... i want my car back

I have a spare red trim off a previous grill that I plan to put on the badgeless grill, plus that little bit of a notch dosn't bother me at all...It will stay as is. I can't wait to get home and fit it all up...Only 5 weeks to go!!

I dont know how much the black badges cost, but i sanded mine down and put 10 coats of black bumper paint on it which costs $15 from repco. Gives a matt black finish and very smooth, be very hard pressed to tell its painted.

The bugs show up though

did you have to sand back the chrome on the insides of the V and W. It would be hard to get in there wouldn't it?

i sanded it as well as possible within reason, but the bumper paint seems to be a little rubbery in texture and forms together fairly well. I initially only did 4 coats and that was a little thin in places but took it off and added another 10. been on 2months now and no sign of damage...yet

Washed it for the last time ever. Is being traded in tomorrow. I would keep it if i could afford two cars.

So what are you trading it in for Paul? Or did you mean you're selling it off completely?

Holy crap! Now here's a guy who takes it even further ...

"Hmmm... chip the Polo or buy an R32."

Congratulations on the purchase. Look forward to seeing it at the next meet.
