I can't afford slicks either...
Are you trying to make some other statement here?

Unibrace is a exceptionally high quality product. If you can get them to manufacture something to suit Polo- you are on to a winner.
Its the best handling mod I have ever done. Its feels as if the back of the car is now connected to the front. (Although my car is a fat, porky, overweight pig compared to the polo)
A pic for reference. (with rear seat installed)

If it is easily removable i'd possibly be in. My current one is a pain in the ass sometimes when i'm transporting mums grandma trolley in the boot!

Will a stiffer chassis mean more understeer? I'm just trying to wrap my head around the physics.....
Volkswagenist
I would be in, after seeing the unibrace in Pauls R32, it is beautiful

understeer isn't typically/necessarily a result of a non-reinforced chassis, particularly on the polos being of good build. A nissan micra... yeah perhaps.Originally Posted by End User
From my experience, additional bracing provides for improved feel and feedback when driving hard, or on uneven roads. It won't typically "dial out" understeer, but may allow for improved feel so you get get closer to the limit with greater confidence.

Good enough for me. Count me in if they come in at under $450 delivered.

So how many of us is that now
I can ask someone (or I will) post over on the South African VW forum

3 + a maybe.
The UNIbrace guy (Bruce Levin) would also be interested in getting pics of the underbody of the Polos to size up for the underbrace as well. Anyone got some good pics when doing some work on a hoist?
