Hi, got my 6n2 around a month ago and have started to compile a list of mods and touch ups I want to do to it but am in need of more. This will hopefully become a mod progress thread getting properly starting once I get this months pay! First of all the car it's self drives fine no issues other than a loose feeling gearbox, have had it looked over though and assured its okay and its got a 12 month mot so no issues. So anyway here is what I want to get done to it, feel free to suggest more or give your opinion on what I want to do!
- Touch up bodywork in all areas of scratches and scuffs on bodywork and remove a couple of small dents
- Fix back window wash (Pipe has come off needs new one fitting)
- Refurb original alloys (Possibly black?)
- Re paint engine bay and Brake discs red
- Fit super white bulbs throughout including interior, other than the stock xenon's obviously
- Fit aero wipers
- Possibly fit some coilovers
- Maybe spray my front and rear badge the gti red
- Fit new door lock pins
- Carbon wrap inner door handles (The waxy coating has almost entirely peeled off)
- Smaller Radio aerial
- Clean headlights (Not a mod but they have a cloudy cover which needs removing)

Once again any ideas welcome or opinions on what Ii have said. smile

Some pictures before any mods

Hello mate. For what it's worth, I think painting the brake discs red is a great idea. The only disadvantage is that every time your drive it, you'll have to paint 'em again. But if you're keen, and have lots of red paint, then go for it!

Looks like a clean 6n2, and some refreshing plans! I'm glad you ain't gone down the ridiculous slammed look with stretched tyres etc. I personally wouldn't spray the badges, and just take them off altogether, and I'd replace the current rear VW badge for a cleaner looking one off a VW Sharan.

I can't really tell if this is a sarcastic response? haha. Anyway i'm getting some Hammerite anti rust and heat protected paint so hopefully it should freshen them up and last for a while! I forgot to add Im also looking at getting the audi tt pedals and gti metal footrest. I have done one 'mod' adding the red gti strip around the front grill however with only that been done I don't think its worthy of an update!

Don't pain the wheels black. Keep them silver.
Cheap adjustable coil-overs are universally st, either pay more for good ones or get a decent spring/shock combination.
Aero wipers are a good bet.

I would

-clean up the headlights
-sort scratches and dents
-refurb alloys

Then you'll have a nice little Polo Gti to drive around in.

The other stuff is pointless and limits your market when you come to sell imo.
