I was always interested at this, but never had any luck either. Im not sure if they ever made a kit. I think its a case of building it bit by bit :(

If they don't think they'd make decent profit from making the products, they won't. Simple as that. The golf has, and always will be the more popular car to modify. So will always have far more options to choose from unfortunately!

because the gearboxes are made of cotton wool, you cant fit a decent size human being in the back and you cannot tune them!

still love them though

thats fair enough but if your willing 2 spend the money you can get some pretty gud bhp out of thm and they fly in the smaller lighter body only fault i can find is rhe gearbox

Exactly, the most I've heard of with the standard engine is 230bhp, turbo charged maxed out. and that guy went through 3 gearboxes.

The Polo GTi just isn't that tunable, fact.

Yeh the only largely tunable move ins an engine conversion. And as Tom is finding, can be a bit of a headache!
