Selling my 1.2 TSI 6R Advice

Post by robertsm66 »

So I'm looking for some advice.

I've decided to upgrade my Polo which I use for commuting. It's a late 61 plate 1.2TSI, 44k on clock with full service history.

I've carried out the following uogrades:

R Line rear bumper and front grill
Refurbed Black Boavista 17inch with new Hankook Tyres
RNS315 with Dab
OEM front and rear OPS PDC
R line multifunction steering wheel with piano black inserts
H & R 25mm/ 40mm sport springs
20mm / 40mm alloy spacers
Matt Black Exhaust Trim
Privacy Glass
OEM Style LED headlights


So do I take it back to original and sell all the bits or sell it as is ?

Thanks for the help ?

You will definitely attract more buyers if the car is original. Then you could put all the bits on eBay.

I would only remove parts like the lowering springs and spacers personally

Though to an enthusiast on here or similar you wouldn't have a problem as is

That said, original cars like this will hold their value better. So it's probably worth swapping it all back over if you have all the original parts

Original every time.

As above take it back to standard and sell the bits on ebay. Generally speaking a modified cars means it's been messed with and you don't know what, if any knowledge the bloke fitting them had or the quality of the parts. Plus you are selling a none standard car and are possibly adding a premium to the insurance for all the bolt on bits for the new owner.
