Time for a little update.
It didnt take long for the springs to wreck the front shockers so after pricing up shockers to suit it seemed rude not to treat it to coilovers. Plus it gives me a chance to level the ride out because even with a coil adjusted off the rear it still sat rear up. So now its 5mm higher at the front and 25mm lower at the back than with thw -60mm springs on. Ive gone bare back with the rear springs too and theft the height adjusters out . Also painted up a strut brace and fitted but it rubs on the sound proofing on the bonnet 
Anyways, some pics.
Off with the old
And on with the new!

Do it mate. Definately the best daily I've had.
I couldn't go back to a 90s daily now. I'm actually glad I got rid of the RS2000 now

I had my stainless ready to fit yesterday too, just ran out of arsed to fit it, plus i dont know if i want a loud exhaust for a daily 
At the minute is nice and quiet untill you press the loud pedal and the induction noise is great.
Not over kill Jony my friend, took it for a blast today and the handling is superb in comparison to the lowered springs/standard shocks combo. Driven enthusiasticly with the Bic™ switch turned off is great fun.
A little more power would be nice but i dont really get into full blown project mode right now.

dont put a loud exhaust on it, its not a fun daily thing ha!
ive got one of those sportex mid section things without a silencer through to a standard backbox on the polo - actually sounds good when youre booting it and quiet when driving normally!
might be worth a shot! only £37...

If you say so cupcake
Michael, i already have the exhaust waiting to go on. Its just the motorway driving that pisses me off with a loud exhaust. Got some colour coded handles today, might not fit them either

Also painted up the front brakes finally.
