the BILT polo

[MarcusAurelius]

ladies and gentlemen, ive finally gotten around to writing up a thread on my 77.
my beloved polo has undergone a mild makeover in comparison to the day i bought.

it all started on at the melbourne motorshow last year mid july. i went with the intention to buy a new car. i felt like a toss up between the mazda 3 mps or a golf. as i was passing through vw, i saw a polo. love at first sight.


3 weeks later, i have my own 77tsi.



didnt take long until the mod bug hit, say hello Mr Whiteline!



the moment my creativity and the mod bug collided, i got a little excited with my heat gun and some abs plastic haha







euro spec fog-lights ftw and 35-50mm ride height drop



always had a thing for rs4's



and as she sits now )





list of mods she has on atm:
HID lights
intake
rear muffler delete
rcd-510
rockford fosgate p2 12" sub
h&r 35-50mm springs
whiteline rear swaybar
sharkfin antenna
big wheels
ebc red stuff pads
changed brake fluid (forgot to what :/)
window tint
debadge

and in regards to the plates, its my last name, the car isnt 'built' haha

the car looks awesome! Great choice of wheels too
I've been thinking of replacing my GTI front grille to the standard type too... looks better IMO

Where did you get the sharkfin antenna if you don't mind me asking? i had a look on ebay and there are several types. if you could help me out with a link that'll be great

The Current/New 2012/2013 Grille would be a good choice as its a polished black finish.

Got my brother going to Germany for business so he will be bringing that back for me

My car is a TSI "R" so no GTI grille here

[Polo_GTI]

Awesome the TSI R models look nice.

Ill take your stock front grille if your looking to part with it lol

So the 2012/2013 front TSI grille, does it still have the chrome centre? Is it just the outer edges that are the gloss black? I'm assuming the earlier models had a Matt black finish otherwise exactly the same?

[VWplo]

looks awsome mate, car looks really phat when its that low. i love it

Polo_GTI, the whole grill is the same except it is gloss black

[Polo_GTI]

Thanks VW Polo
I like the R badge you fitted too
