They sure are :D

Refurbished with a diamond-cut face and rim with silver on the inside of the spokes. A pretty rare finish if you ask me. Most people get them sprayed silver.

And the Toyo T1-S' grip like buggers; I love it!

Yes, I can't say a bad word about my T1S & T1R that I've had. Great tyres :)

Tell me about it! I spent about 3 hours last evening putting 3 coats of wheel sealant on them. Time to invest in some P21S wheel gel and some brushes, I think :oops:

I think I need some nice coilovers to put the sig pic in to reality.

I missed out on these today. They usually retail for £100+. I do like the orange indicators though. At least I will have some cash to tax the Polo for 6 months.

I started taking some bits out the Polo yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll be putting the chrome badges back on, putting on the standard grille, and taking out the sub.

The clear indies are bloody extortionate! When you consider the price for MK3/4 Polo clear indicators, they're a ripoff. Especially since fitting the indicators on the Rocco is a pig of a job, and one slip could easily break the lenses!

The companies selling them must be making a mint on them.

Yeah, I may be interested in the standard splitter, if I can get the GTI one off, which should be interested. I'll get back to you.

Out of interest, what colour interior did you have in your old motor?

Cheers Dan, much appreciated.

it was an all black interior Ollie, but i have no parts from that at all!

just had a look at some pics Doug took of the vast array of spare parts we have in the shed and for my old polo we have:

standard splitter
slatted grille
non-foglight lower grilles
standard springs

you can have any of the parts, not looking for any money as they are un needed and taking up space!

Cheers Dan 8)

May be interested in the middle non-GTI grille as well, also the splitter, if the GTI one comes off next week.

I'll keep in touch.
