UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thought i'd post some pics of my car as I had nothing to do. Not really done much to it.









Sorry about the quality of the pics. The light was getting bad. The only mods I have done are:- colour coded front splitter, front black badge, Apline headunit and removing the rear polo badge.

What do you guys think?

Forgot to mention that this is my 1st car. Only bought at the end of september.

First car!!! How old are you mate?

I'm 19

Same here, but mines my second car. Bet your insurance is high ain't it?

Holy moly, when i was 19 i was driving a 1.1 fiesta, the insurance on that was outrageous then, i dread to think what premiums your paying for a Polo

Well I'm paying about £2k (went up because I got my bumper smoothed)

I'm 19 and my first car is a mk4 16v.

But I never thought anyone could get insured with a mk5 GTi as their first car! Having said that, my brothers first car was a Pug 205 GTi and oh my were his mates jealous

Anyway, your car's looking good

looking slick, im 20 an paying £750 fully comp

i'm 22 and paying around 700, but thats gonna go up in august when my renewal comes though cos of a little bump earlier this year, lose my no claims etc, not looking forward to it - anyone any advice on best insurers?

For me Elephant.co.uk is the best quite a bit older then u young boys 27, £350 fully comp 5yrs no claims.....

Tried many places but elephant was best for me, when I had my mk4 polo with was moded all declared alloys, full exhaust, lowered, induction kit it was only £400 some places was asking me upto £800

I'm with Elephant, they're the only ones that would quote me, well for under £2.5k anyway. It started at about £1800 but then I got my bumper smoothed so it went up £17 a month.

I'm on the 10 month bonus accelerator to get a years no claims quicker, because I was only a named driver on the last car, although I haven't made any claims.

Its not actually insured in my name. I was getting quotes of £5k and then tried EGG the card company. They quoted me £2.2k. So I decided to get insured under my mum's name as the second driver. That worked out to about £800. Then my dad said he wanted to get insured on the car and because he has 3-points on his license it went up to £1k. The reason I went under my mum's name is because I would have had to pay over £1k anyway after I turn 21 and I know I would have lost alot more money insuring it under my own name.

I also forgot to mention that when I bought it, it had a Short shifter fitted to it.
