Hi all.
My name is Rich and i've owned my polo for nearly 2 years now. I've looked in on the forum but never got round to joining you all so i've finally done it.
Let me know what you think of the car so far.

Thanks very much.
Yeah it is an extended bonnet. Was done by a local bodyshop. It's not too aggressive either unlike some of the 'jap crap' i see around here.

You've got a nice car there yourself. Have you painted the grille red round the edge like a new golf gti??

That, is very smart

Good work man, and good colour choice as well

Thanks. I was originally going to get a lupo but when i saw this car at the stealership 2 yrs ago I instantly loved it.

Here's another pic of the bonnet for you Ben. The numberplate at the front is held on with cable ties so i can take it off at shows.

Thought u might like a laugh. Here's how my car was when i bought it (this is the original VW Dealer Photo)...
