Looking nice, though id agree with the above about the spoiler, unless your gonna get some skirts to bring the sides level with the front, looks a bit off. But still a very nce car.
Any chance off seeing some pics of the engine?? Some details of how its supercharged would be kool aswell.
Lastly; Nice roof
Chris,
EDIT: Whats your plans for the open air sticker on the side? You gona keep it on and fly the soft tiop flag proudly or atke it off?? I replaced mine with a sexier sticker, the standard one is a bit bleh imo.
open top all the way

What supercharger did you use for the conversion? There was a 1.4 8v with an Eaton M45 at E38 this year.
Nice car, by the way

vr6

venom did the vr6 and they said it was abit of a pig and the handerlin is abit heavy to but the power is good! lol get a highline and you got 180-200 str8 away, but then the cost of some custom parts are sil so the said the gti will go in on the same engine mounts as the polo all is diff is the loom..........but i like the power thing, so would you be interested in the engine if i do the swap?
