UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hiya thought i'd post up on here as this is most likely the section of the forum i'm always going 2b on!
basically im new to the vw scene, used to be a french car man (the shame lol)
i'm looking for a red gti at the mo, harder than i thought, so beware i'll probs be askin loads of questions and asking for help over the next few months!
neways enough rabble, look forward to using the site and followin the cars on here!

hi mate welcome....at least your moving in the right direction away from the frenchies!!

you sure you dont want a silver gti? mine is very special and for sale now

hi mate, thats exactly what every one else has told me! vw have a bit of class to them ive just been looking through pistonheads and the classifieds on here, gotta admit silver is tempting!!yours looks mint!

Welcome to the forum. I think it is hard to find the perfect GTI and you can't be majorly fussy. My car was bought with full leather, 29k miles, good price and only 95 miles away - trouble was it was silver and it was my least favourite colour, but that doesn't matter when your driving it

this scotsman speaks sense!

i was originally after a black gti but im so glad i got the silver in the end!

Similar thinking happened with me, I'd liked the look of black, but ended up with a Red one. I did also consider Silver cars, although the condition of the car was more important to me, and my little Red'un just happens to look class as well Whatever you get I'm sure you'll be more than happy.

Muuuuuch easier to keep clean than black too ^^

What you want is a Red three door....Really rare and deffinately the best looking

Good luck with whatever you choose.

I have a red 3 door GTI conversion that i am wanting rid of.....its had em well pretty much everything done

under 50k too

If you wanna see some pics just let me know

^^ ive been really really tempted by yours mate, its just you live at he total other end of the uk!!its done under 50k you say?
the only thing that worries me about that is the fact how do insurance deal with the conversion?is it just classed as a gti?

Ach you can get a cheap flight The engine etc etc is all under 50k, the actual car is about 65k. It would be up to you mate, its still registered as a 1.4 8v but can be re-registered as a GTI if you liked. Mot test centers etc dont care about it.....but i wouldnt think insurance would find out if you had a smash, cant see why they would. But it would be up to you if you wished to re-register it.

The car i actually away into the bodyshop at the moment to get all the bodywork touched up, which will cost me a fortune again lol....and i will be replacing the windscreen if i can find one.....and there is a couple of other little touch ups i will get sorted for the buyer, trust me it'll be a show car mate

Be different, buy a white one, its the only one in the world...

how much are you after for the white one? mileage, codition etc etc

Trouble with silver is it's easier to cleaner but harder to make look mega clean

bryonys selling a perfect example of a red 3 door?

P.S welcome to the forum!
