Hey everyone, been a bit busy since I've got the car, but got a free weekend so thought I would post some pics of it.

Was a standard type s with no add ons.

Went out earlier to take some pics, the car hasn't been washed for a week so a bit dirty but thought I'd post some up anyway.
Had a bit of a bash from a fellow polo driver which wasn't my fault. So my insurance paid for it all which involved having a new sideskirt and wheel arches for £400 from my local Honda.

Also put type R alloys on it yesterday (finally) thanks to Driftwood who sold me them. Thanks again mate

Have ordered a type r boot spoiler and should arrive in a week or so then will have that painted and fitted.

Not sure whether to get tints all the way round but not 100% sure.

Anyway let me know what you think

Much appreciated

nice motor mate, i have a milano 1.4 type s, check my sig for some cool mods...
Beware this site will empty your wallet pal...lol

So many great ideas for mods

Looking great mate! Fog blanks will add a subtle difference as well.

Also just to let you know front tints are illegal as they are tinted to its max from the factory so you can only have the rear done. I'm planning to have my rear windows tinted over xmas, will look nice on Milano.

noice i think id have to have the chrome grill trim painted red though.

Looks good mate, was that last pic taken on the old air strip at martin?

 

[tuccy29]

certainly was earlier today mate. Only 5mins down the road

 

[Minas]

Looks great pal!How do you find the ride with 18" type r alloys compared to the standard 16" ones?Is it much more crashy?

 

[tuccy29]

Thanks mate. There's alot more road noise, but the handling is more responsive in my opinion. But glad I put them on because they look great. Far better than the standard type s ones

 

[discojoe]

nice dude looking sweet only thing is type r spoiler tho : S what about a type s 1 think they suit the car much better seen as it aint a type r (just my opinion) even tho i do agree with the type r alloys and suspension drop but thats all for performance.
but anyways keep the pics coming still looks good its red after all

 

[scoosh-89]

Looks good mate.
I would defo go all round tints as i have them on mine.
As long as the cops are not to bad in your area you should be fine.

Well it's too late now to go back mate, well ill get it fitted on it and if i don't like it ill get a type s one. Just love what the type r spoiler looks like.

What percentage tints have you got on them scoosh? Need to find the right balance.

Oh yeah I really need to get it lowered so will keep an eye out for some coilovers as i dont want the ride to be as harsh as a type r

Looks good mate the R spoiler will finish it off nice.

Ive got all round tints on mines ive got 35% on the back and 50% on the front not to dark but not to light.

Personally, I think coilovers are overkill for a road car - spend your money on Eibach lowering springs and wheel spacers and full FRS

By the way - nice car - our [Pottsy] gave the Type S 1.4 a great review

I think 18's are fine - 19's too much ...

 

[tuccy29]

Do it mate. Totally agree that 19s would be too much but 18s suit it perfectly imo.

 

[bristol.dan]

thought so just needed some reassurance

 

[tuccy29]

Getting eibach 15mm springs delivered next week so that wheel arch wont be as high!

Nice motor mate looks very clean

 

[tuccy29]

So i'm booked in for a full FRS with 15mm eibachs - by abp motorsport on the 3rd so will get that done, then paint and fit the type r spoiler, get it all washed and upload some pics then
