What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[GTI JOE]

Great decision on your part...I see so many people getting it wrong with the mismatching of matte vs gloss etc.

Everything that's black on my car is virtually matte. After my car was vinyl wrapped, the only remaining gloss parts were the shiny pillars...so I had the guy cover those in matte black as well and it really has set if off. Hell...I even plastidipped the chrome exhaust tips in matte black...and from the rear it just looks mad!! Full stealth mode!

Can't wait to see the new pics Brad, plastidiped the exhaust tips? Me thinks the vinyl will burn away?

VWplo, if you like it mate, then that's all that matters. I'm not sure that the black stripes on the bonnet or the black roof will work...just my 2 cents worth. I wouldn't consider it for my ride, roof or bonnet....too boy racery

Haha...I knew someone would question that.

However it's actually holding up quite well as the exhausts tips don't get overly hot. They'll be replaced shortly anyway once I get this Viezu package on the car with the black billet tips.

dening, nice motorsports. how much did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking? also, post up some specs here for others reference>> http://www.vwwatercooled.com.au/foru...ght-85362.html

now, recently have had some comments about the look my 77tsi (all good) and in particular, one about the "wrc" look i currently have going on with the white Aristo wheels. So i got to searching on the interwebs, trying to find out what wheels the Polo WRC car actually uses. All i could find was that they were O.Z racing. this was good, as i have been looking at getting some lighter wheels for the odd track day (currently 22kg/corner) and was looking at Alleggerita in either red or acid green (just to be different, pics to follow). So i went back to the O.Z website to see what i could find. Low and behold, as i scroll down the page, i come across the Superturismo WRC, in white, with red lettering... perfect (pics to follow). next step is to head to AMG Australia (importers of O.Z, BBS and others, not related to Mercedes amg) to see if they have them and if they will fit. and they do. 17x8 et35. have sent them an email regarding price and postage. then went to Alloywheels in the uk to get a price from them (have heard good things about them), can get the wheels for $1332.22aud delivered. the next step would be finding the right size semi-slick tyres for the polo and a 17x8 wheel (215/45, 225/40? [toyo proxies R888]).

also, to keep relevant, i plasti-dipped the front badge white (nothing big, and again, pic to follow)

TL;DR
to go full WRC look, or just #becauseracecar???

Current



Alleggerita



Superturismo WRC

This one's for you Mario and MrDeathLad. Opportunities for a proper photo shoot were cut short due to the crap weather on the weekend.

If anyone has opinions about the wheel poke illustrated here... I'm not listening ok . These wheels are only on the car temporarily.

very cool mate. very aggressive

[MrDeathLad]

loving this, but.... i prefer the gram lights (yeah, you said the wheels were temps, just saying)... have they been sold yet by any chance?

just need to do something with the tail light now, plasti-dip "fogging" (clear smoked??) perhaps to matte them out like the rest of the car?
