UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

rite my mate is conviced it is the CAT - and he says it rattling around and it will not fail the mot.

Is this true.

well my mate says it has had new middle section fitted so it is possible that it hasn't been secured properly.

if this was the case would it stop making the 'stone in a tin can rattling nosie' when revved up?

Cheers for your reply mate.

Well that was my argument tbh.

At worst there would be a whole new system required to cure that stone in tin can noise at idle noise and thats only gona cost 150 - TOPS.

As for the sill i am just worried incase its so bad that when i tackle it, it will just push through, like its just bubbled and ...

Lucky enuf then.

I was gona have a go at it myself but i dont wana make a mess, but iv gota learn somewhere.

If it were you, would you go for the wee car or would you look for another rust free example with out the all the faults?

My dad got called out last nite, hes a fire man, so i never got to talk to him about it whether or not to buy it so i called my uncle and got him to hold it for me and he said he would it hold it until tuesday.

So atleast that gives me abit more time to think about it.

Does your car have rust on ...

Im just gona get a set of cheapo wheels lyk. I really wouldn't spend anymore than 300quid on a set. infact there a guy around the corner from my college who has an se with wheels very similar to the ones your after but its been laid up for like two years so i mite go and approach the owner and see ...

Your car will fully look ace when its finished.

those wheels look sweet.

Happy days mate!!!

Thats as a bargain.

Im just making the final decsion on whether on not to buy the one i was looking at or not now.

That exhaust problem is worrying me a bit, if it wasnt for that i would go for it without a doubt like.

What sorta alloys are you thinking about?

My mate has bbs ...

Do you reckon it could be the silencer?

When the 1.0 polo i was looking to buy was ticking over it made a very clattery noise that came from the exhaust.

I was told that this is a normal characteristic of these 1.0 polos but is this true or should i just walk away.

Btw, the car has a new exhaust middle section.

As usual your replies ...

If you dont mind me asking how much did the grill, spoiler and indicators cost?

Its just i was going to do the EXACT same as you are doing and was wondering how much it was going to cost me.

Cheers

Actually i found that there now, dont know how i missed it.

Have you fitted your kamei grill yet?

you gona do much to it?

i dont mind corsas tbh, we had one for years and it never put a foot wrong like but as i say this polo is a good price and is plenty good for me to ruin over the next years time lmao.

i cant find your thread anywhere. could you insert a link or sumthing??

happy days.

i would love one of those bumpers but theyre like hens teeth.

have you done much to yours yet?

tbh i would always have prefered a corsa but my mate loves polo, has loads of parts and this one seems cheap and he got crashed into from behind at 60mph and was able to walk away from his ...

Im 16 aswell, il be 17 in june tho.

Il contact you though if i do buy it to get that bumper coz the big dents luk crap.

Did you stick a 16v one on instead then?
