Rah i just got home to my net conection so first chance i had to look at forum and post my lovly news that i have gotten A) my first car and B) that its a lovly Black 1.4cl s reg mk4 polo.

had it just over a week ( been in london staying with a mate) and i love driveing her, such a nice car. i think it has to have been the best choice i made when i decided to buy her, only payed £3600 for her ( with only 30k on the clock and remote centeal locking + alarm + 6by9 speakers worth £200 and brand new tyres i thought it was a kick ass deal)

great to drive and very one who gets in her is like ooo0000ooooer mrs :D

i have allrdy done some work to her, just some simple things....

1) new gear nob , a nice ally one that has blue led lights ont he top when you flip a switch , i didan't know it did this untill i put it on and when WTF, but is very funnky )

2) a new hand brake a lovly ally one + leather cover ( was a right b***h pulling off the standered hand brake but got there in end)

3) new alpine stereo cd player ( f*****g wicked thing that plays mp3 disks as well as normaly cd's :D make full use of the 6BY9's i got with car )

4) Put on some headlight eyelids ( to give it that bad boy look. the great thign is cos my car is matt black i not even have to spray them :D )

I sould be ordering some new wingmirrors and a new front grill and new clear indicators and side repeators on monday so the car will look the b****x's hopefully by next weekend.

i will take some pic's and post um as soon as :D

got a fun day ahead of me tomorow .... if all the parts come early ... got to take off door panels / wing mirrors . take out front indicators, front grill, do my eye lids properly swop the side repeators, work out how to take out the real clusters and change them over to the clear ones and then find someone who will put me new springs on for as less money as poss :D
