Good luck finding cheap colies for it. Think there's only Gaz that do a set for them. The struts are combined with the hubs so they need a thread machining onto them to take a coilover platform and spring. 
 
I liked the 1.0 i had. Wasn't at all nippy but would easily do 75 on the motorway once you got it going and was good on fuel

Get a decent set of shocks too cos you'll fuck the standard ones within a week - been there before. I used Spax RSX in mine. 
 
Look on clubpolo for spares

Ok that's your choice. Just letting you know what will happen if you go that low with it. Good luck with the project, I'll keep an eye out for it.
