Hi peeps, just a quick post to say hello.

I am just getting into the whole Volkswagen thing and went to my first show on the weekend at the grand old age of 25 (late starter I know

) which was dubs at the castle in south Wales.

I am returning to university as a mature student soon so unfortunately I will not have the funds to do any extreme modding , but I am still keen to add some subtle touches to my beloved polo (Which is 100% standard at the moment) and go to as many shows and events as possible, The next being volksfest.

So, I will apologise in advance if I bombard the forums with seemingly daft questions regarding basic modding, and any ideas or suggestions regarding some simple starter mods are more than welcome

Cheers guys and gals

Rich

Im not planning on doing anything to the engine as its a Diesel (1.4 TDI) so i didnt buy it for performance in the first place lol.

Also the interior is pretty tidy as its full leather.

At the moment I just want to make some minor cosmetic changes like a GTi style grill or something, and possibly lower it a little.

Ill get some pics up as soon as possible (Ill give it a good clean up soon, its a little grubby at the mo

).

I also want to get the alloys refurbished. The previous owner curbed them a little and it spoils the overall look of the car, even though its a standard 1.4 TDI (colour concept).

Cheers for the warm welcome mate

Its blue, (not sure of the exact shade), but its not metallic, maybe jazz blue?
