Rah i just got home to my net conection so first chance i had to look at forum and post my lovly news that i have gotten A) my first car and B) that its a lovly Black 1.4cl s reg mk4 polo.

had it just over a week ( been in london staying with a mate) and i love driveing her, such a nice car. i think it has to have been the best choice i made when i decided to buy her, only payed Â£3600 for her ( with only 30k on the clock and remote centeal locking + alarm + 6by9 speakers worth Â£200 and brand new tyres i thought it was a kick ass deal)

great to drive and very one who gets in her is like ooo0000ooooer mrs

i have allrdy done some work to her, just some simple things....

1) new gear nob , a nice ally one that has blue led lights ont he top when you flip a switch , i didan't know it did this untill i put it on and when WTF, but is very funnky )

2) a new hand brake a lovly ally one + leather cover ( was a right b***h pulling off the standered hand brake but got there in end)

3) new alpine stereo cd player ( f*****g wicked thing that plays mp3 disks as well as normaly cd's

make full use of the 6BY9's i got with car )

4) Put on some headlight eyelids ( to give it that bad boy look. the great thign is cos my car is matt black i not even have to spray them

)

I sould be ordering some new wingmirrors and a new front grill and new clear indicators and side repeators on monday so the car will look the b****x's hopefully by next weekend.

i will take some pic's and post um as soon as
