Hi Guys

Been on here a while and only just starting to do enough to warrent a progress thread so here it go's!!

Started off my polo love with a black 6n2 GTI nothing special not much to talk about just a great every day car!!

Then I decided it was time for a change and fell in love with white GTI's! I searched around VW dealers and eventually found this

A very nice spec and mileage etc.

From what i can work out the extras on it are:

6 CD player with sat nav
Cruise control
autowipe wipers
heated and electric mirrors
proper climate control
ESP
Auto lock doors
Standard interior

That was around 2 months ago, since then I have only done minor changes which are only to the engine, as follws:

K&N Pannel filter
Fogre 007p Recirc
REVO Stage 1


My next thing is a miltek and stage 2 with the possiblilty of changing the turbo but im still undecided.
Here she is today with a good clean and then finally back in her resting place for the evening! Coments and views welcome

First off my tools!

Keeping it in the garage at night and during the day helps alot to keep the dirt off!

Woah, you got a whole bag of Autoglym cleaning chemicals? How much did they all cost you?
I never used Autoglym on my Polo, i like using Meguiars!!!

I did it for the Flash case and the fact it can all be kept together and stored properly, only cost around £50 i think so not to bad! I have topped a few bottles up since then tho.

I use some meguires stuff but on white cars polishing doesnt give you the ''deep'' shine like on black cars

Lovely, i think the 9n3 look best in white than any other version. I bet you cant wait to get out there each day to open up that garage door eh? I have a TDI 130ps and its quick, i've never been in a GTI polo yet but i imagine it's no slouch.

Good looks.

It is nice to get out there in the morning. white is by far the best colour available

Yeah at 205bhp it doesnt hang around.
