hi there and welcome to uk-p, been admiring your car on clubpolo for a while mate...are those arches an original thing then? i assumed you'd just done major arch extensions.

i think it looks really cool how the bumper fits into the wing

and mmmm nothing better than seeing a freshly re-built engine IMO

can't wait to see it when it's all finished

Yep the arch are moulded fibre glass panels produced by VW motorsport the each have an individual VWM part number stamped on the underside.

Through a bit of research they only produced 500 between 1985 and 1987 mines a 87 D reg, they came out the fatory with a mk2 G40 motor, but mines been lost over the years and was bought with a coupe s motor.

welcome along mate!! i have never seen a vw motorsport edition polo like that before!!! could it be more rare than a mk3 g40 possibly??

looks like the renovation is going well, keep up the good work!!

i think the alloys in the second pic look better than the original pic!!

Cool that makes 2 of us left, not sure how many of the original 500 are still left

Not a great deal I would imagine, if someone was prepared to rob the G40 lump from yours then they cant have thought it that rare. Shame

Yours is probably the only one in the Uk, hope to see it turning some heads at shows
