And which women will also love. From the outside the small car from Bavaria exudes character, the rear spoiler and rear apron insert – both in the expressive carbon look and the double-pipe exhaust make it look bold and dominant. The titan-coloured type Z 8x18 inch ABT wheels suit the car well. In the area of the underside of the door decals with the ABT logo show that the Polo is a pure thoroughbred from the Allgaeu sports car family.

ABT Sportsline of course also offers performance improvements for the Polo. They can give an extra kick to all turbo engines: The 1.6 TDI is available in different output levels – starting at the series standard engine. For example with ABT POWER, 75 HP (55 kW) is converted into 90 HP (66 kW), and after ABT treatment the 90 HP engine provides 110 HP (81 kW) and the 105 HP (77 kW) diesel engine is increased to a sporty 130 HP (96 kW). The extremely economical 1.2 TSI also provides 130 HP or 96 kW (series standard: 105 HP / 77 kW).

The fuel consumption values – and thereby also the CO2 emissions – remain at the level of the series engine. The tuner recommends to use ABT springs for an extra amount of dynamism. Doing so lowers the centre of gravity of the vehicle, and the Polo lies better and safer on the road. The smallest ABT is thereby not inferior to its larger siblings in any way, and offers optimum driving enjoyment with maximum everyday usability.

Even though the car from Wolfsburg is not a race car, the know-how which Eibach has gathered from premium motorsport, such as in Formula 1, DTM and WRC, flows into the development: the lowered centre of gravity, which is achieved with the Pro-Kit Performance Springs, improves the road-holding and offers an extra sense of safety. Although the Polo becomes noticeably more sporty, there is no loss of comfort and the handling remains very good.

The Pro-Street-S Coil-Overs allow the ride height to be altered. This permits it to be optimally adjusted for the respective individual purpose. The Pro-Spacer Wheel Spacers provide even better handling. They are made of high-strength aluminium and give the Polo a wider and more stable stance. Pro-Spacer are the ideal supplement to the Pro-Kit Performance Springs and also round off the effective technology.

All Eibach Suspension Components, which are available through authorised dealers, are provided with a high-quality corrosion protection and are TÜV-certified.

Variant 1 with solid damping control and a TÜV-approved lowering in an adjustment range from 35 to 65 millimetres, the KW coilover suspension Variant 1 offers an optimal balance between sportiness, comfort and safety. In the version basic, the suspension is delivered zinc-plated. The version inox-line with its stainless steel casing guarantees a long durability, even when the car is driven very dynamically and also used in winter.

In Variant 2, the coilover suspension is delivered in the stainless steel technology inox-line with an adjustable rebound damping. This is the ideal system for the dynamic driver who does not only seek an individual lowering, but also wishes to make adjustments in the set-up. With the adjustable rebound damping, the driving impression can be optimally adapted to the personal requirements.

For the performance-oriented driver, KW automotive additionally offers Variant 3 in stainless steel technology inox-line for the new Polo. The technology used in Variant 3 is derived from motor sports and offers best performance and a high comfort – according to the individual adjustment. The separate and independently adjustable rebound- and compression damping allows absolutely individual suspension adjustments. The unique patented system with its each two-stage valves allows a rebound damping- (comfort) and a compression damping adjustment (driving dynamics) in the low-speed range while the high-speed range which is responsible for driving safety is fixed.

The KW coilover suspensions for the new VW Polo are available already from 799 Euro including VAT. Of course, a certificate for a trouble-free registration with the Technical Control Board (TÜV) is included in the delivery, as well as a detailed instruction for assembly and adjustment.

From a purely technical perspective, the display piece is based on the 1.4-liter MPI version engine with 63 kW / 86 PS. Its unique aspects are to be found in the details:

Just like the Golf GTI Edition, this Polo stands out with its extroverted "Flash Red" body color. In addition, two black rally stripes command attention; they extend over the front end, the roof and back to the rear. The sporty, generously sized alloy wheels are the last detail. The black 18-inchers in "Budapest" styling are making their appearance with polished spokes; they generously fill out the wheel housings of the lowered chassis of the new bestseller – more than 13,000 orders have been received, even before its market launch. The black versus red contrast can be seen as a defining, excitement generating theme. The radiator grille screen, mirror caps, backdrop of the headlights and insert in the lower bumper known as the "buckle" all offer a dark contrast. And the sport exhaust system pleases with its optimized sound.

Premium black also characterizes the interior. It takes a path from the roofliner over the air vents – each with a high-gloss finish – the steering wheel accents and radio panel down to the very distinctive front seats. They are made of very high-end materials. Black nappa leather trims the outer surfaces and the center seat panels where they are offset by horizontal black stripes in the microfiber "San Remo". The seat’s lateral supports have an arc-shaped striped design which – viewed from outside to inside – is composed of nappa leather, flash-red nappa leather piping, the white leather "Berry White" and black leather. The aluminum tread plates are also a custom feature. Similar to the Golf GTI concept car, they bear the signature "Polo Wörthersee 09". Red seams also enhance the leatherwork on the parking brake handle, gearshift grip, steering wheel and door trim.

JMS fits high quality H&R coil over kit in the car. On the front view of the Polo you see old classic
wheels in 8 and 9x15 from BBS and 195/45 and 215/40R15 tyres. In the rear view the Polo has TH Line Schmidt revolution wheels in the same dimensions and cost Euro 1999.

The full new styling racelook bodykit consists of a full racelook front bumper , aset of side skirts and the full rear bumper . At the rear it is possible to fit all kind of exhaust systems, but JMS can sell you a full exhaust system from catalyst with 4 tips 70mm. All parts as usual delivery with tüv papers and fitting material .

At the entry level engine power is increased to 210 hp for the price of EUR 998,-. This is achieved by a change in the electronics whereby boost is slightly increased and the electronic injection maps are readjusted. In the following stages engine power is heaved to 220, 250, and 272 hp and finally incredible 300 hp and 410 Nm at the last, EVO R stage. To achieve these performance levels our B&B technicians exchange the standard 1.8L motor against a completely modified engine with new B&B special pistons, connecting rods, a special cylinder head and a large turbocharger. Extensive changes to the charge air cooling and and the injection system are also undertaken.

To further reduce exhaust gas temperature and back pressure a special exhaust system has been developed for the Race-Polo with a large downpipe and a high-performance racing catalyst. Oil temperature is always kept at an optimal state through the installation of a thermostat-controlled Slim-Line oil cooler. B&B's extremely powerful Polo GTI blasts from 0-100km/h in 5.8 seconds and speed limitation doesn’t set in until 254km/h.

To secure optimal safety at these extreme speed levels B&B has developed height adjustable coilover suspension sets in different variations and high-performance brake systems, which keep the Polo safe and on track. Exclusive wheels in 17” and 18” dimensions as well as an eye-catching, muscular body-styling kit round off and complete the exterior look of this small albeit massively powerful Polo GTI.

LSD door fittings come with a German TÜV certificate certifying that the LSD wing doors meet all safety standards.
Compared to other retrofit sets for wing doors, the LSD fittings made in Germany are more impressive due to their absolutely sound engineering and the highest-possible standard of quality. In addition, a testing laboratory accredited by the German Kraftfahrtbundesamt (Federal motoring bureau) proved in a side-crash test, that the LSD-solution patented in Germany is as secure as a door assembled in the series production.

This means: the occupants safety is guarateed by the LSD door fittings in a side-crash complying with rule 96/27/EG. LSD makes a quick and easy installation possible, without any welding or repainting necessary. Another convincing feature is their perfect fit, thanks to the ability to make three-dimensional adjustments.

The LSD door fittings are mounted directly at the points where the original doors were removed. With the added fittings, the otherwise unchanged doors open first outward and then gently glide upward and stop. Adjustable buffers prevent the doors from being opened too wide or from falling downward or inward when open. A simple grip is all it takes to close the door. On the one hand, the LSD solution allows you to open the door in a outward motion with an aperture angle of approx. 30°; on the other hand, it also allows you to swing the wing door upward, and all that without any great exertion. The LSD wing doors lend any car a sensational look and are the ideal solution for all fans of unusual tuning and show cars. The LSD door fittings are available from LSD or special dealers.

The Polo receives a power boost by 24 kW / 33 bhp to 163 bhp, putting the Volkswagen in the same output class as a BMW 120d and which will no doubt cause it to get into many a scrape with these. With a torque of around 350 Nm, it even surpasses the values of a 1 Series. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.4 seconds, just over a second faster than in the series version. JE DESIGN pushes the limits in terms of air and rolling resistance by 6 km/h to a top speed of 214 km/h kilometres per hour. At the same time, the TDI still complies with the EI (Emissions Inspection) regulations. Needless to say, JE DESIGN provides a TÜV parts certificate in addition to a 1 year warranty on the engine, turbocharger, transmission and power train for vehicles up to two years old.

It is possible to style the Polo’s visual appearance in line with the performance by fitting a complete body kit (components also available separately) from JE. At the front end, the tuning specialist corrects the goggle eyes of the series Polo by fitting headlight lens covers. The striking front spoiler in a wing design creates a dominating appearance in the rear-view mirror of the driver in front. The sides are adorned with sills featuring a striking air intake.

The air intakes look even better when they are painted in a different colour. JE DESIGN enhances the rear view, i.e. the part most people will get to see the most, with a downforce-boosting boot-lid wing spoiler. Added to this is a rear apron body kit, which picks up on the wing design of the front spoiler and, in the centre, a racing-car-like diffuser. The recesses on the left and right house the powerful-looking 90 mm pipes of the stainless steel rear silencer system, which the Polo uses to loudly convey its sheer power to the public.

JE DESIGN typically fits the Polo with a complete set of wheels with multi-spoke rims in a 7x17 inch ET 35 design, equipped with size 205/40 R 17 Y tyres. Needless to say, however, other sets of wheels are available in 17 and 18 inch versions. Lowering the suspension by approx. 30 mm by fitting sports springs helps the compact VW takes corners as quick as a flash. Alternatively, JE DESIGN also offers the option of fitting a coilover suspension.
