Ben,
Thanks Ben :) .Away from the mod front abit of general maintenance.It's going in for camber,tracking & four wheel alignment next weekend.Probably an oil and filter change + MOT at VW.Then my friends going to changed the Cambelt,waterpump,possible cambelt tensioners and gearbox oil.After that im not too sure will keep my eyes peeled for little bits and bobs but nothing too drastic,i like the classic looks of the GTI.

Im Brad dude haha,my plates are from Europl8.They're fully legal UK font pressed plates,top quality product and service from them.I prefer them over the plastic and laminate plates that tend to seperate after a while definately alot longer lasting these ones.

Man, don't go to VW for an oil change. Do it yourself! Takes about half hour and is dead easy.

I know dude i could quite easily do it.I just want to keep up the service history of the car,it's spot on from the word go would be a shame to lose it.

Looks like your Polo is getting some nice service parts soon then Bradley, they always feel much better after a good service.
Sounds like a good deal with your mate doing the cambelt, tensioners & water pump too, I had mine done early last year at VW and they charged me a fortune.

That reminds me I need to get my Gearbox Oil changed too, its certainly on the list anyway.

Your Car is coming along nicely now, I think you made the right choice with coilovers too 8)
Difficult decision to make but its worth while, they're alot easier on the eye when their sitting 50-60mm lower than the standard set-up.

Really like this... the original looks can easily be lost with over modification etc but by retaining the original looks with some improvements the car is spot on! Looks even better in the flesh! :D

Keep up the good work brad!!
