FIRST LOOK AT MY EURO SPEC 2F POLO COUPE

I get my euro spec VW 2F Polo Coupe up on the lift for the first time and take a closer look at it. Starting to sort out my plans for suspension and the overall project. Only 5 weeks until I'm hoping to have it "finished" and ready for the haul to Helen, Georgia for Alpine Volks Fair.

    Coils! Every car you have is bagged! I’d love to see you design custom coilvers

    Static. Going back to your roots would be great, the hustle of getting a car as low as possible while drivable is always a fun task; like your Passat wagon

    Best regards from Poland. In my Polo I'm reworking the suspension from Golf MkI.

    Bags make more sense for this particular situation, but I still 100% vote coilovers 😎

    I‘d suggest coilover because you never know how much experience the future owner might have and coils do require much less maintenance.

    Sweet Polo John! My dad had one of these back in the 90’s. I remember the colorful interior. It would be fun to see it on bags.

    I’d honestly for the bagged route since it’s more safe then static because it’s more safe to the components underneath the car like the oil pan.

    Personally having messed with these for years exhaust wise to get the nicest exhaust sound out of these without it being loud is get rid of the cat, remove the centre box and use a classic mini rc40 back box! the back box being the perfect size makes the sound just right

    It’s really a toss up but I’m on coilovers right now so I would like to see it bagged. I’m not knowledgeable on maintenance for bags but I’m sure it’s more than coilovers.

    If that's been loose, change the bearing. Id say that's just as dangerous as loose lugs... all it takes is the bearing to separate and you lose that wheel.
