lovely example of a coupe s! They have to be the best Polo model.
I recently had to sell mine :( (I now have just the mk4) but the coupe s's are soooo much fun to drive!!!
Im annoyed that I didnt have the money/time/and space to totally sort my old one out :( Although in the future im thinking about having my own little polo surgery :P
