Andy's Polo...some developments

[vkswgn]

So I'm finally doin' what needs doin' to my Polo - I've been very lazy since I bought it.

This week she's getting some paint correction (dealer, and probably me too, swirl marks) and some lovely new (and big) exhaust tips - still twins obviously.

Today I ordered a front lip from VW and it should be here on Wednesday. Then I'm dropping the new lip, stock side skirts and rear valance off at the panel beaters for colour coding (after the "proper" prep. work) - won't be done before chrissie though, but I am reasonably excited!

Sounds good - where are you getting them painted?

Oven Baked Enamel Services in Ringwood - they do high end repairs, etc. so it's not cheap (approx. $500), but it will be right.

Roger that. Getting fitted on Thursday so watch this space for a lovely shot of my girl's rear end.

They're stainless and they had to cut away a bit of the rear valance (close to the muffler) to fit them in - beefs her up a bit, I like it.

Booked the colour coding in today but have to wait till Feb - what's with places closing down over chrissie (very inconvenient )? Picked up the new front lip yesterday too - looks the goods.

Wow, really?

It's the one on the red polo on the vw web site.

Alternatively, it appears that someone has had the same brilliant idea as me (modesty?) with that lip and colour-coded stock sides and rear.

Hmmm, it does look that way in the last pic doesn't it. I just ran outside in a panic thinking "I couldn't have missed that could I?", but they're fine - can't explain it (maybe the camera angle?). They're just welded to the stock pipes so they should be exactly the same.
