4 months till the polo goes.... Time to start pimping it out

[Petrol_Head]

Hi.

It's been a while!!!

I've had my baby (bellow) for a good two to three years now!



But after a SHOCKING PHONE CAlL...


I have now found out... a very good insurer that will give me a reasonable price on one of these...



Soo....

Its time now to have a little fun with the polo... any suggestions welcome...

I'm thinking of resprayin the car + alloys.
Changing the starter motor
attempting to change the rear drum brakes for disc's.
sorting out some leather seat covers or doing something to the interior?

Why don't you prepare it to sell?

[Petrol_Head]

I'm not sure its worth too much... 93,000 miles on the clock.... (98 model) whats it going to be worth? £500 - 1000 if i'm lucky???

[Tim_GTi]

Better than a car you don't need that's too kitted out no one wants it!

[LeMeph]

yeh you willl never see the money you spend on modding it mate i woulodnt bother, save up for fun time bits for the supra

[Polo96CL]

Have to agree with the other lot here, save the cash and put it into the supra!!

[l0rne]

lol i hate to bust ya bubbles dudes but that aint a supra its a mitsubishi FTO lol

[Polo96CL]

Haha well noticed!

Have to admit though, they do look very very similar to the "average" person

[Petrol_Head]

yep... its the FTO, the average engine size is 2 litre V6.

Your responses was my first thought, but then I thought I might as well have some fun. If I'm going to sort the car out why not have a little fun while doing it.

But...Maybe I should do a subtle pimp out job... so its sellable!

I don't understand, there's not really very many things you can do to a car to further it's value without investing more money into it.

Only thing that springs to mind is strip it back to standard and give it a full and proper detail.

[Petrol_Head]

I think your right... I just wanted to make it look nice to sell whilst also having some fun!
