mk3greg - new polo - Colwyn bay

hi, I'm Greg.....

I know a couple of people on here, Scott from Bangor way and I've met spike? think he's Darkdub on here.

You may have seen me in the past in a euro inspired silver corsa b with Lenso BSX / BBS reps and I've Just got rid of my red mk.4 Escort xr3i. I didn't know what to get but loved dubs. Ended up getting a polo influenced from Scotts GT (scotty_GT on here I think). didn't realise how happy I'd be with it!

Anyway its a 1.3 mpi for now with:

* g40 13" BBS alloy wheels
* Lowered around 60mm
* MK3 Golf front splitter
* Clear front indicators
* GL blanks for side repeaters
* Gt steering wheel
* Gt clocks
* Gt interior
* Dewiperd rear window

I don't know what the plans are yet except for a bit of smoothing, lower, maybe something with the interior and a different set of wheels but the bbs's on at the moment look good as they are.

Any comments welcome

Cheers mate

Im tempted to yeh, had a look at quite a few polos and what looks good but before I start doing anything to the car Im going to make sure I do the right thing as I've just got on to the vw scene. they do look really smart though without the strips!

We'll see, definitely needs to go a bit lower though

Welcome, mk3 polo take over!!!

Car looks good mate, any idea what height your running?

The previous owner said it was a 60mm drop which looks about right, still too much arch gap there though, BUT! it does get over speed bumps ok ............ for now

yep that was me!, glad to be noticed!

Was waiting for my gf as she went to the concert too! I couldnt get a ticket though

if your is 60mm then it proves that my kit was wrong, mine should have been 60mm but its closer to 90. still I wouldn't swap it for anything. I have RA's on too, didn't really have an arch gap.

I cleard most bumps ok until my new tyres went on last week. went from 165/75/13 to 155/55/13. little bit of stretch and a little arch gap but I now twat speed bumps even when crawling over them thankfully I don't have the standard exhaust anymore or I would have already wrecked it.

sounds nice n loooow

I think i'm guna put up with it for now until I can afford coilovers to 'fine tune' how low I can safely go. Stupid thing is that theres no way to my house without going over a speed bump!....

What kit have you got anyway?

welcome. nice looking mk3 you have there
