You see, I know some won't like it (or even 'get' it) but that is cool-by-the-numbers.
I'm feeling the arches.

I like it alot, the bolted on arches aren't often seen on VW's.

Indeed, I like a lot. Nice and simple too, they've not gone overboard on the stickers / sticker-bombing. The arches I like too, needs that gap filling in where the wing meets the front bumper though.

I presume he "done" it by sticking some comics to the door cards?

door cards are my favourite part as well. I'm torn with it though. I feel as if it just isnt what I should like but it does have a certain appeal. I think personally I might have put slightly bigger diameter wheels on it, purely because with the bolt on arches it seems almost cavernous and would like to see the arches filled a bit more (only 1 or 2" bigger though max), makes the wheels seem tiny but still like it  |

Liking that, reminds me of my Nova  Definitely needs to come down more at the front to sort that arch gap if it's the look the owner is going for though |

Love those photos, lighting is brilliant. Car is cool too, another inch out of the front ride height might help though.

Fair play the guy resprayed it himself but the rest isnt really that awesome, the wheels don't work for me, the arches make the wheels look worse and the stickers are rubbish.
As a VW fan I have owned several polos and staggered 14 inch wheels look far better as you can achieve a better arch gap and ground clearance.

isnt really that awesome, wheels, arches, stickers, rubbish blah blah Try reading this, it's the thread at the top of the general board with READ THIS in the title retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=45829Gotta say I almost agree with bits of what you say, but that's not the point. Say something nice/constructive or don't say anything. You've been registered longer than me so I'm sure you know better.  |

If you're such a flipping expert on all things Polo, why don't you show us some of this awesome of which you brag rather than slating one you don't like. Money:mouth....let's see it. I like the Polo and think it works all round but agree with some of the other that a bit out of the front altitude would really set it off. |

Ok I was harsh, I accept that calling aspects of the cars modifications rubbish was not needed. We all have our off days! As for polo expert, wouldn't go that far at all but over the last few years there have been a few, modified and original. GT 13x7 slot mags - hence 13s an arch gap being a problem.  which later swapped to 14x8J staggered RSL Cults  This one had a 1.3 GT engine which ran over 100hp NA due to shrick cam, head work, 4 branch + full system, remap to 8000rpm rev limit among other bits. A 100% original mk2 coupe S which was in VW driver and won best non golf at Golf national meet  There have been several other coupes, saloons and breadys along the way. The current project is a mk2 polo breadvan which is having a 1.4 16v engine conversion with 4 branch manifold, Newman cams, remap and should be good for 120hp ish, 270mm front disc conversion , mk2 golf GTI rear brake conversion, mk3 polo G40 rear beam swap. Details on Club Polo and Polo3 I don't want to come across as a know it all as there are plenty of people with far far far better skills when it comes to building cars! |

...all manner of awesome stuff... You see, thats the sort of retort that we need on here, not some smartar$ed comment but actual proof that you have the 'eye' for a well modified car. So you don't like the one in the OP, but you've shown not only what you do like, but that you do know what your talking about. The only bit I'd question is the use of MK2 Golf GTi rear brakes. After spending the last week fighting mine, I'm not sure why you'd inflict such hatefullness upon yourself, especially on a car that weighs less than medium sized dog. But anyway, I digress. Nice Polos my good man. |

I just checked, and yes, yes I DO like this Polo.
It may be 'scene' but it's scene-done-nicely to me, really like the fuel cap and door cards.

Thank you I didn't intend to take anything away from Dbiszzle's original post or offend the owner of the car. Re: the mk2 calipers, normally I'd agree with you! I use mk3/4 golf rear calipers on other projects but i had a good mk2 axle with new calipers/discs/pads which i stripped when doing a VR6 engine conversion as it is easier using the mk3 rear beam and having wide track suspension all round |
