Hi there Dayve

welcome to uk-p, i'm a fellow mk2 squareback owner, what type of modifying are you after just that i think most people try and go for the subtle look with these cars, e.g nice allows, lowered but no bodykits etc.

this thread was one i did a while back which might help, just asked the squareback owners on the forum to post a pic so tbh alot of the cars are generally pretty standard, but people like polokris go all the way

not anything crazy but just restored with a few little mods

My MK2 would look good if it bloody could hold anything in those tight little arches..

How the hell do u guys fit those wide alloys tyres in!?

I'm running 5.5J ET25 on 185/60 13" and thats the biggest i can go without scrubbing on the rear arches..

Bob how much?

Cheers

MK2 squares rule!

I did 12000 miles in mine last year and all it needed for MoT was a brake pipe,the rear brakes adjusted and 2 tyres!! The year before it just needed the headlights set!
I also took it to Dublin at the weekend,drove down (about 100miles) at 70mph for the majority of the journey and took a wee detour on the way back covering 300 miles and getting an average of 42mpg. what other 1990 car with a 1litre engine and 106k on the clock would give that reliability???
I've been toying with getting a new motor latly (would still be keeping the Polo though)but just keep thinking that I'll be hard pushed to get something as reliable

Overmind, that's me matey. I've had quite a few parts from the guys at AAT they've used pics of the polo on their web site. The twin choke was only on a few weeks before the twins went on.
