Now that's just Wrong!

It looks like it was buld from bits found at a breakers yard.

Maybe it was?

well sorry to urinate upon your camp fire but the paint is oem and no there not parts off 10 different cars
this is called a "Harliquin" and they were very limited runs done by vw on the golf 3 and polo4
little bit of trivia for you
what color is on the vehicle id at the dvla ?

Yeah, I've just been reading the details of it. Only 100 made. I can see why. that is one ugly, ugly polo. Sorry if anyone has one but.

Polo2k is quite correct- They are genunie VW issue but why? I suppose the insurance is cheap on it, due to the fact that no one would want to steel it!

Well, it WAS the 90's

Remember that artist who preserved half a cow in formaldehyde and called it art?

It's funny how we can already look at the 90's and cringe

why make a harlequin?
well why not look at some other dubs?
20th anniversary
25th anniversary
G40 (limited run not intended for the masses)
need i go on?
its just a limited edition run so that they become a collectors car and thus are worth more to vw even though they costh the same or less to make
also no one has guessed what color is on the V5

Yellow?
Dunno, go on tell us!

polo2k · Post by **polo2k** » Sun May 18, 2003 4:34 pm

yup its the roof color (or b pillar depending on who you ask) which in this case is ginster yellow

Petrified · Post by **Petrified** » Sun May 18, 2003 4:39 pm

I was just guessing!

OK, it looks like this was done in photoshop but it just goes to prove how having a car that colour looks ugly, no matter what the car!

I like

I'd have to be colour blind before I bought one though...

How about a new 9N polo done in a similar style, but every panel in a different colour changing paint!!

I actually quite like the Mk4 Harlequin, for oddness value. Wouldn't really drive one, but I still like the effort.

Odd things can be cool. See the weird cat thread or any of the Club House threads, really.
