welcome along Alex

polo is looking lovely, look forward to following progress

Cars looks great black 3dr GTI's FTW!

Cheers guys!

Just ordered a bonnet bra for motorways and gonna go and pick up a touch up kit for the stone chips already on there. Quick question, anyone know where I can pick up a pair of the clip on headlight protectors?

Just make sure you use the bonnet bra sparingly because a lot of people have suffered from paint fade when using them (which doesn’t polish out)
As for the headlight protectors they are very difficult to get hold of these days, keep a look out on eBay and the for sale sections (forums).

A couple of years ago you could get a set for £7.00 brand new but they don’t make them anymore so finding a new set will be really difficult.

I have an old pair which i bought from benmkiv on here and i havent used them since cos i tinted them black and they didnt look how i wanted them to so i took them off

I'll try find them later on 2day if you want?

Thanks for the advice yeahh literally just using it for too and from Uni journeys, I've seen the damage they can do when you leave them on just not worth it . . . I looked on eBay for some but the only pair i could fine was for £15 with bits missing so just gonna have to keep checking I guess. Oh no way! so cheap I've heard they stopped the production of our car mats as well? Mine only came with front footwell ones the back are a rubber set

Oh cheers mate that would be great! Can the tint be easily removed?

yes the tints easily removed with the tint spray remover, i think i may still have some so if i have I'll clean them up for you for some pictures

Iye they stopped producing the rubber mats too which is a shame although you can still get the black cloth mats

Its been 10 years now since production on the 6N2 polo stopped so Volkswagen can now legally stop stocking the parts.
Parts for the GTI's are going to be harder to get hold of in the next couple of years

surely when they start to do that we can start using clasic car insurance?

there must only be a handfull left nowadays too

That would be nice but classic insurance doesnt apply until the car is 25 years old (I think)

Not many GTI's left these days, hopefully their value will start going up soon

it might be 20 years cos i think mk2 golfs are in the classic cars range.

if the value goes up soon will be good for us whos got the GTI's but people looking to buy might be put off

I wish! anything to bring the cost of insurance down lol

No worries I'll get in the garage 2moro to look for you.

As for insurance I'm rather lucky it's on our company insurance so I actually have no idea what the cost would be

So just as I get back from buying touch up paint it starts tipping it down lol . . . First addition to the car, gotta love 'borrowing' Nandos metal chickens . . . . . . also ignore the disgusting tax disk holder lol

Thaanks . . . My first quotes were throwing up all sorts of ridiculous prices (£2000-5000 ) bearing in mind I've been driving for 3 years now, gave Sky Insurance a call and managed to get it for a price that's not gonna clear my bank out lol

I been drivin nearly 7 years but always been on company insurance so wouldn't have any no claims
Might just look for quotes 2nitw just for an idea
