Hi people.....

Finally collected my new car today - 17 weeks after ordering it! Anyway, here's a few pics while it was clean. Hoping to have my windows tinted in the coming weeks as well as a new rear section and tailpipe for my exhaust (haven't decided what to choose as yet - suggestions welcomed!).

Hope you all like...... I'll try to post some interior pics when I get a chance it is blue/anthracite.

Looks great, pricey but at least it will hold it's value.

They've stopped badging the 130 diesel as a GT then?

Would be intersting to compare it to the GTI if they are similar prices.

Thanks for comments. Dealer told me new GTI will be Â£14,600 so it's almost exactly the same as the 3dr 130TDI Sport.

Don't know where they are going with the badging...... lol!

Save up for a REVO, that would probably be the best value mod.

Then some nice alloys.

alloys are nice already IMO, sort of Audi RS6 but smaller to suit the polo

I've been waiting to see this car. Thought a lack of update meant we weren't going to see any pics of the forum. What a nice car though. Really really loving the Mk7s. Even as much as my old Mk5.

Gotta say I do like that, Looking good

Is it really the 130 then, first one I've seen in the facelift. I am a little surprised about the badging on the back though. I knew they'd dropped the GT badge but I thought the 100 Sport would be TDI and they would do a TDI or TDI (or something along those line) for the 130.

Oh well

Yeah, I'm not sure what to do with my badges. I don't like the "1.9TDI" on the tail as it looks a bit busy. My old 100TDI had just TDI on the tail with a red "D" and "I". I thought this one might just have a full red TDI.

I've got a silver "DUB" badge so I might take off the 1.9TDI and replace it with that or maybe just order up a full red TDI. Unsure at the moment!

So far, I have added 2 sunglass holders up front to replace the grab handles and it is going for tints on Thursday. I've ordered a set of TT pedals which should hopefully arrive tomorrow. Interior pics to follow......
