Hey there, my name's Ollie, and I'm 19. I drive a W reg Polo E, with the 1.0l engine. I'm currently living in between West Wickham (S.E. London, where the car is), and Bognor Regis, where I go to university.
Anyway, here's some information on my car.
Currently, it's fairly stock-ish, apart from some 16" BBS RXII rims, with Toyo T1-R tyres, and a couple of cheap mods, like de-badging the lettering on the boot, and colour coding the rear badge. Here's a picture of it:
It's riding a bit high, but I hope to lower it with springs or a suspension kit.
I look forward to learning more about my car, and possibly come to a few meets this summer.

Thanks people
The wheels were a lucky find, as one of my dad's customers (he manages a tyre & wheel shop) part exchanged them, although one of the wheels' rims was damaged. I managed to find a spare wheel on ebay, and afterwards I got them refurbished. They do suit the look of the car, in my opinion
Laura- I'm studying business studies at the University of Chichester, on the Bognor campus.
Cheers.

Niiiiiice. Liking it. First thing I thought looked awesome was the wheel and tyre combo. Once you've got it lowered it'll look even better.
Thoguth about the GTI honeycomb grille? Black front badge?
Welcome

PhilGTi- Brilliant photoshopping! I'm tempted to get it smoothed now, it looks bloody awesome!
I'm thinking of lowering it with some eibach sportline springs, or some coilovers, if I can afford them. Judging from Phil's photoshop, it should look great one it's slammed.
DelGT- I think it has the GTi grill on it, I think, and I fancy getting some front and rear black badges for it, soon.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.
