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.

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.
