UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well, it's a project. Namely bodywork and condition.





You won't believe the amount of work that has been put into this car by the previous 3 owners - I'm the 4th! It's been so well looked after - mechanically. But then white does always suffer more than any other colour. I've got a FSH right up to 2005 and we'll be continuing it.

The receits list is unbelievable. It totals up to £6578!! We're talking brand new radiator, distributor, brakes front and back, wheel cylinders, bearings, petrol tank, clutch and housing, clutch and throttle cable, brand new wing mirrors, new speedo cable and it goes on! Got 5 BBS wheels and another spare wheel, alarm/immobiliser too.

Current engine mods are Stage 4 from Jabba and full stainless de-cat Powerflow exhaust.

She drives soo well, everything is as it should be. So, so chuffed. I now know what those G-smiles are all about.

Some of the major plans are, but definately not soon - full respray same colour, -60mm on H&R and down on some spankin' wheels.

So here she is today after a good t-cutting, bumper treatment, polish and clean inside and out

















Thanks again to Richard for pointing me in its direction. And a big thanks to Tav for some financial help lately!

What do you reckon?!

By the way, I bought it for £1,000 [/img]

Was gonna ask what the bodywork problems were as it looked decent,until i saw the passenger side

Looks asthough its only on the easily replaceable wing and door though saying that you can't really go wrong for a grand with the history that you've got with it!

welcome to the joys(and tears) of owning a white G40



Now...anyone want to point me in the direction of a £1000 G40?

so go on then, does the g40 howl attract alot of stares? i know my G60 did wondered what the hell is going past sounding like a fighter jet at full chat!
i dont know if its the same for the g40 but they seem to vibrate in such a way that they rattle every door in my house at tickover.. maybe thats just mine
lovely little motor, i still have yet to see a g40 in the flesh, maybe there'll be a few out at the shows this year

Every time I get in this thing and drive it, even if it's just to the shops I have a huge funking smile on my face. It's.. uh!

Pettsy, hopefully it ain't gonna be lairy white for long! Hahaha

And yeah, just gonna buy two new front wings and get the bodyshop to spray/put them on when it's getting resprayed. Sowwted!

looks great mark if i got something like that i'd love to buy a standard looking car like that and put my mark on it, can't see the point in getting a £3k show car...

can't wait till A) it gets it's re-spray and B) it gets it's first DelGT photoshoot

and as for the price

get in there my son!!! £1000 for a G ain't bad at all!!
thats a lot of service history there!!!
congratulations!!

Guys, I did a Photoshop. This is how I'm planning to make her look >



What do we think? It's convinced me enough to keep it white, haha!

im a fan of white aslong as its in top condition, tho id defo have 1/2 coloured bumpers!

yeah i love 1/2 coloured bumpers on mk3's.....i'd personally still go for the black but then i think i'm obsessed with black polos

so maybe a lil bit biased

Hahah, yeah! It's a f*****g awesome feeling. And my de-cat full stainless Powerflow throws a nice rumble out the back in contrast to that front end noise!

Yeah. Those are deffo the plans for my G. But no half coded bumpers for mine. Stayin' all black plastic

Robz - car will be getting a full respray in white so will be spanktastic condition

i have to say there are only a few colours which suit half colour coded bumpers, and white isn't one!

Keep em black mate!

Oh and red doesn't suit it either!

You keeping the private plate?
