    Those are Escort Cosworth (style) wheels? A bit early '90s, where are the tiger stripes?!

    I'm considering a fresh daily while the Golf comes off the road for welding and cage fitting.

    '2000 Polo Variant SDI is what I am looking at. Under 500, roomy(ish), uber economical.

    Wondering if there is any way I can get my retro Projektzwo P1's under the arches. 17"x7.5J ET30 and 5x100.

    Smooth it, lower it a touch and fit those....that's euro!

    The Euro look normally consists of being lowered on small diameter wheels.

    I haven't seen many Polo Variants lowered, ect, so might look good :thumbup:

    The polo would be four stud as well so you'll need adapters or convert the hubs

    OK, I have have put a deposit on the Variant.

    We have a plan! All VAG group parts and a bit of estate inspiration to mix it up:

    The German font looks good, but not the full on German plates.

    On my Mk2 ive got the German font (metal pressed), with the GB at the front ;)

    This seems to be the look with the Corsa boys these days ^^^

    Noticed a similar one near me running Porsche wheels and lowered.

    I hate to say it but it's still a Corsa. Have also seen similarly styled cars and to me that still wouldn't look out of place in a maccy d's carpark. The styling trends have changed but the underlying ethos is arguably still the same. That's a pretty general sweeping statement though, like always you can't tar everyone with the same brush.

    The exact same could be said for the mainstream VAG scene though to be fair - that's why I'm on here to try and escape it lol

    All subjective of course :)

    Dont get me wrong, i am the most vauxhall hating person out there ;) lol

    I keep telling my mate to stop spending money on his. He's got a 1.2 twinport with a VXR engine.

    Quite a sleeper as it still looks like a twinport, but still a gay Corsa lol.
