Thanks! I absolutely love the car, I fell in love with it as soon as I seen it on Pistonheads. After a trip to Bradford and back on Saturday to see a very standard and not very nice black GTI (even then this car was in the back of my mind!) I managed to pursuade my partner to take me to Wales on Sunday!
I havent had a chance to enjoy it much yet though because I've been at work but have booked a day off on Friday to take it out properly, I have had a LOT of admiring glances though
I feel privileged to be driving it, Ben has spent so much time, money and effort on it!
Plans?....... Well the ATS Cups are on now, going to get a new exhaust which will be hidden under the bumper, stretched tyres and drop it!... LOWER
Apart from that, it is perfect the way it is

I was about to comment on how amazing that polo was, then realised it was Bens old one.
Get a build thread up in the gti section. Look forward to seeing what you do to it.

Welcome to the site. I'm so jealous you own this now. Ben has done such a good job and I don't think that you could have bought a better one. Want to swap??

I'm glad your enjoying it Amanda
its a great little car and will bring you lots of joy
I hope you had a safe journey back on Sunday
I forgot to give you the C spanners on Sunday, would you like me to send you them in the post?
Your little 1.0 6N2 looks great, I cant wait to see some pics of the GTI sitting on the ATS Cups
Keep us all updated on yours plans for the car.
I think its a good idea changing the exhaust too, fitting the mongoose was my only regret with the car just simply because of clearance issues.
Ben,

Yeah that would be good if you could post them to me? I really like the exhaust but its not going down very well with all of the speedbumps around where we live!

Yeah No problem i'll get them in the post for you
Could you pm me your address?
I sent away the documents to the DVLA on monday as promised
Iye the exhaust caused me a few issues with low curbs, its a nice sounding exhaust but the backbox just sits too low.

Welcome to the forum Amanda, you've got a great little Polo on your hands now - Ben looked after it really well.
Nice to see the Cups on, but will look better when you get your stretched tires on and when you lower it

Thanks Emma
I need to get a new exhaust before i can lower it, it's really scraping at the minute......
..... The speedbumps where I live don't like it very much!
I might wait for the tyres until the new exhaust is on so we can lower it at the same time as changing the tyres
