Hi folks,

Just ordered a new Polo, taking delivery in a week or two, looking for info & advice on it. New to the VAG scene, so don't have a clue on websites etc to get bits from.

Name's Adam from north east o Scotland, I've just traded in my 2.2 turbo diesel v6 merc for a new 1.2 polo lol, mad? Ach, needed a small runner to go to/from work and for other half learning to drive in.

It's a standard 1.2 Match 60 3door in black, got some ideas on what to do to it already:

- gti or similar grille
- audi rs4 wheels 17"
- tints
- gti skirts maybe
- backbox of some sort
- suspension, been told to get coilovers, duno i may be happy with just springs or shocks n springs.

so... Hello there! :)

oh, got no pics of polo yet but once its in I'll be giving it a full detail and the obligatory photoshoot afterwards.

Welcome along Adam. Looking forward to seeing it!

Sounds like you have a few plans in mind already and i'm sure you'll find the forum handy for getting any info you need.
As for sites to use; it really depends what you're looking for. I find this a good one www.vagparts.com and a lot can be found on eBay. But keep an eye on the for sale section in here as bits pop up there too.

welcome.

I've got the same
its great for money on petrol. i spend 35 a week
and i've got a 15 mile drive there
so its about 30 miles a day. 150 miles a week .and then weekend miles on top

I never take the pedal off the floor tho.
1.2 is a nippy car tho for the polo.
110 mph rly fucks your mpg up tho
