alright guys, I've been lurking on this forum for a while, I did own a mk5 polo but was too embarrased to post any pictures. I've ended up spashing out on this so hope you like...

my mk5....... progress? DSC01785

Not had much done to it yet, I've got coilovers on order from JSReid tuning and will hopfully have some alloys on it just after christmas... I'll post more pictures as soon as I've tinkered more.

niiiiiice, 18's are standard on the gti and do look very good even at standard height
with slam VERY nice!

so 18's on 35's or 40's

all good options

sounds about right, Ive got my heart set on a set of 18" Inovit deep dish splits... depends how expensive christmas is though Sad

'hopefully' have it all done by end of january though... then I can start playing around with the engine Razz

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Tue Nov 10 2009, 02:20

he's right ^^^^^

what is it ?? TDI?

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Tue Nov 10 2009, 02:24

TDI, 1.9 110BHP. Dont know about tourque etc... anything else i can find out for you Bazza?

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Tue Nov 10 2009, 14:10

Mmmm 320 Nm of torque, stick a tuning box on it.

Then:-

140bhp goes to between 167 - 190bhp
320Nm goes to between 363 - 396Nm

Clicky

Dan you fail to mention unlike me (who managed to get pulled over 4 times in 35 mins and was about an inch away from having my car seized) you dont actually drive it with German plates....

I know i know German plates arent big or clever and i know theyre illegal....

But they do look the tits on a mk2

Mk5`s are very cool and look alot more aggressive than mk4`s... once you dropped it down then you be able to get the stance right......... its all about the stance! but its a sweet car and i like the badges blacked out.... good work dude!

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Thu Nov 12 2009, 12:42

looks spot on mate

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Fri Nov 13 2009, 07:09

lol boi'd

its only a photo dear

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Mon Nov 16 2009, 02:46

Ha Ha.... This is true.... although i am sure that you will be able to re-call that i have managed to get away with never getting a fine whereas you got a £60 fine -- which i believe you still havent paid...

And Dan is too P*ssy to drive about with them on all the time -- only for photos....

Subject: Re: my mk5....... progress? Tue Nov 24 2009, 03:17

oi dan
they look like the ones you wanted sort of, are a bit fu*ked but are very cheap
