hey all just thought id throw up sum pickys of the motor in the difrent stages sins iv had it
day 1: purchesd my 1.416v sport for £1500 fairley un molested aprox 3 years ago now as soon as it was back to my work off came the badges and rub strips



within a few days those horid lights were ditched in favor tor sum tinted items and a nice magnex oval backbox aswell with a de silecer center section


not long after she was treated to a full gmax lowering kit(60mm springs and dampers) ended up being off a nova so it was abit lower than was expected

(is it me or douse that look distrubingley good on 3 spoke alloys?)

shortley after that sum new shoes were in order




unfortunatley due to kerbing and wether damadge from previos owner the wheels were gradualy geting abit tatty and i cdnt aford to have them refurbd so they were passed on to a mate who is taking car of them and having them fully moror polished for his polo

so as mine curentley stands....
