The car just flew through its mot, the only prob really being a fractured rear spring which i have now changed both the rears! so all is now well....looks although its sitting far too high at the back now though, but will need time to settle new springs....car doesnt have tax, but this is factored in the price. The reason being is that its sorn'd at the moment and i dont want to take out insurance just so i can tax it! She has been started and moved everyday, battery has been replaced but starts on the button every single time!!!
I'll give a rough spec of it, but it was originally a 1.4 8v match model before i got exeptionally bored with that and decided to go for a conversion instead of purchasing a GTI due to the money and work i had done. The Car is sitting at about 66k with the engine and gearbox on about 50k and it is one of the sweetest GTI engines i have felt.....extremely smooth running! The engine conversion was carried out by my dad and myself because lets face it.....a professonal isn't really needed for that type of conversion. The conversion wasnt just engine based with me also upgrading to GTI brakes with brand new mintex extreme pads and zimmerman discs with goodridge braided brake hoses all round. GTI ARB's were put on so it pretty much is a GTI!
Engine wise it will have:
Powerflow catback exhuast
BMC Carbon Induction kit
B&M Shortshifter
Not 100% sure, but we are thinking it to be round about the 135bhp mark, since it is pretty much keeping up with my mates G40
And quite convincingly put a standard GTI to shame.Interior wise, not overly alot to be honest:
Audi TT leather front seats
GTI leather front door cards
Mountney sports steering wheel
Mk3 Golf GTI interior black mirror
Dark rear tints, medium front tints
JBL 6x9's in parcel shelf
Panasonic cd player(does the job)
The interior is all 100% mint with barely a mark throughout!
Bodywork and chassis etc:
Smoothed front bumper
Smooth rear bumper
Smoothed sidestrips
Smoothed boot
Subtle spoiler
Stubby euro spec mirrors
Satin black sprayed mirrors
Satin black sprayed b-pillers
GTI grille
GTI splitter
Black front grille badge
Hella black rear lights
Black side repeaters
In-pro black headlights(never seen another set on a polo)
8000k HID conversion
The pictures show with the BBS RM's on but they are not going with the car! Original GTI wheels will be on with anthracite centers!
Unbranded coilover setup at front with adjustable at back.....give great ride and have not seized on me once!!
Bad points.....as with any car, there is always some badpoints:
There are a couple bodywork snags which are barely noticeable to be honest!
When i was washing the car, i had the wipers up and i opened the bonnet which scraped on the wiper arms leaving 2 scores on the inner edge of the bonnet.....once again not notiecable unless your looking at it from some dodgy angle lol.
Also a small chip in the front windscreen, but is on the passenger side and does not affect the driver and also more importantly, the mot!
Now i am bein very honest here and picky, but liek i said it is because i am a perfectionist and this is little points i wanted to have sorted! But overall the bodywork is really nice and if a couple of little bits like that dont bother you, then the car is nothing short of perfect in my eyes. I have spent a hell of a lot of money on this car and will be extremely sad to see her go.
Anyways here are some pics for you guys to let you know what its all about!
The money shot
The car is quite well known in the polo scene and recieved 4th place in the Polo Show & Shine out of 55 other polos, so something is obviously going right with her
That was 2007 and the car has been pretty much off the road since thenCar also has comprehensive service history and has just been done once again by bavaria auto werke in aberdeen.
Also, the car is still registered as a 1.4 8v, i will leave it to the buyer to change it if they feel the need! If they want to keep it as a 1.4 8v.....extremely cheap insurance!!
Based in Aberdeen and looking for £3500 No offers!!! I'm losing a stupid amount of monay at that price!
Not interested in a px...need the car sold!!!! its a brilliant car being wasted!
