Hi

The car looks great, Andy947.

I'm hoping to join you sometime in next month or two. I owned two Polos previously and then bought a Renault Clio. Probably best option available in 2002 when I bought, but I so miss VW quality. Clio has become a real pain.

I've looked around at the other options (Clio 197, Ibiza FR & Cupra, Mini Cooper, Fiesta ST, Fabia vRS) but Polo GTi seems to be the best option for what I want. Also seems the only one designed by someone with any brains. Its expensive especially when compared to Ibiza FR, but that is horrible inside and no heated mirrors (ok option) What are Seat on??

The reviews of Polo have generally been poor, so I'm hoping they are giving them away at the dealerships. (Yeah right..I wish)

Must devote January to getting myself back in a Polo and currently searching internet for a good deal.

Let me know how you're getting on with it Andy947

Seriously big mahcine ripped it righ off, now its taped with s**t laods of black ducktape to the fron of my mk4. Propper ratty looking lol, if onyli wanted a ratty car!

Nice GTI, it would look beter if it ahd the same rims as the golf, theyre smaller arent they? if theyre nto they certainly look it.

depends on the size and spacing of the characters. The spacing on the polo would be technically illegal

No, they are ALWAYS illegal

The font is wrong, the D is wrong, they dont reflect correctly, and they dont carry a BS stamp.

German plates are NEVER legal in the uk

Standard Intake Trumpet Left - Cupra Intake Trumpet Right

Standard Intake Pipe Right - Cupra Intake Pipe Left

Super subtle mod, only cost about Â£30 in parts

And tweak number 2, a subtle styling mod, but the car looks all the better for it.

Gloss black B pilar covers instead of the standard matt black ones.

Another OEM VW Polo part

Gloss Cover on Left - Matt on Right

Matt Cover as standard

Gloss black cover - much nicer
