Welkom pik

[Maarten]

thanks

[iichel]

So your topic is in the members ride section. You sure you don't want it in the aw section for more views?

[Maarten]

Yes maybe that's better.
As admin... You can change that right?

[iichel]

Well my powers are only elevated to moderator. But yes I can fix that if you want

[Maarten]

Please do

Welcome Maarten.

Your car looks good and it’s a very good spec too .

Vibrant Violet looks good on the Polo and it’s nice to see VW include a more exciting colour in the available choices for the Polo. I also liked Energetic Orange on the pre-facelift car.

I like your winter wheels, and would probably keep them on the car all year round as I’m not a fan of diamond cut alloys, but it’s good we don’t all like the same things, otherwise life would soon get boring .

Enjoy your car, and I look forward to hearing how you’re getting on with it.

Thank you, the winterwheels are quite nice. Probably want to switch them for Adamatium Dark Pamplona 17" for the winter

The 17" diamond cut I really do like , I do hear lots of problems with white worms, probably when the clearcoat is failing, water gets to the cutted area.
So I keep them well protected

My only modd for this car will be the blind spot detection, there isn't much more to upgrade.

With my previous polo's 9N3 and 6N I did loads of mods, think of (for the 9N3)factory alarm, seat heating, anti-dazzle mirror, rain sensor, self made projector headlights, rear speakers etc.
For the 6N (leather steering wheel, central locking, power windows etc.)

Futher back in the early 2000's with my first Golf MKII (1991) I went full ape s**t Retrofitted almost everything except power steering

For the 9N3 I wrote multiple how-to's

Money well spend

Looks great!

Thanks

Lovely Polo and Spec, Maarten

Lovely Polo and Spec, Maarten

Thank you

[Boxerboy]

Looks good.

Today I was told that our Vibrant Violet Vehicle is "On A Boat" and should arrive in Emden soon(ish)

I haven't overloaded it with all the options, just the essentials - Keyless, Hot Seats and a Spare Wheel.

I plan to move to All Season tyres on this one to save the ongoing hassle of swapping Summer + Winter wheels.

It's only a tiddler 999cc after all.

I've committed to returning the current GTI on 17 March so timing looks good.

[Maarten]

Nice to see more Vibrant Violet ones.
Love the color.
Something different than all the black, white and grey

So yours will come soon, exciting time
