Hi peeps,

Just put a deposit down on a '1999 T' reg 16v. Don't hate me but it's going to be my daily beater - but I needed something 'reliable' and with a decent bit of poke so chose a Polo over a Corsa etc.. it's got to replace my Celica SR (curse getting older and trying to get on the housing ladder.. still have my mildly modified Celica GT for 'weekend fun')

Plans so far - uprated filter, and lowering - may be asking for advice on springs.
Other than that, some colour co-ordination - how hard are the interior dash trim panels to get out - ie the vents and the centre console ?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome!

Great choice :)

Not sure how easy those vents are to do.... but there are lots of little mods you can do to make the car look very clean.

post some pics up when you can.... when do you get it?

should be picking it up on the weekend.. have just had fun trying to sort insurance...

Adrian Flux wanted an extra £170 !! so have had to cancel that policy and take out a new one with Esure !
