Hi Everybody,
This is my first ever post so hope it works ok. Its only taken me 5 years to actually do one! sorry
I say goodbye to my trusty MkVI GT on Friday which has served me well the past 3 years.
But I say a BIG hello to a nice shiny new Polo GTI
This will be my 4th Polo, my first being a MKIV 1.4 CL then a MKVI 1.4 100BHP sport, and then the MKVI GT
Although none of you have been aware, you have all been a great help on this Forum in choosing my cars over the past 5 years. I`m amazed at the amount of stuff you know
. So a BIG thankyou for all your words of wisdom and chat, and keep it up.
Anyway enough rambling, here is a pic of my GT that will be off to the garage very soon.
I`ll post some pics of the GTI when I get a chance
Cheers
Snake Plissken

Hiya mate, a formal welcome to the club!
I take it you;ve bought the new GTi? What colour/amount of doors/ extras did you go for?
Seems like you've missed out The Best mark! looking at your car history

Cheers Tim_GTI & Pip_polo
There are indeed a lot of helpful friendly guys and gals on here.
I've gone for a 3 door, shadow blue with 6 disc cd changer.
I`m a bit of a blue boy, my other cars were Chagral Blue, Summer Blue & Raven Blue.
I was tempted by red or black but thought I`d go for the blue.
I did indeed miss out on the MKV unfortunately. LOL
Perhaps one day I will have a collection of Polos and have one as good as yours Tim_GTI
Cheers

Hi Guys
Just picked up the GTI a few hours ago, itching to take it for a proper spin.
The garage were very good and kept the car in the showroom all week, so it stayed dry and shiny. Very happy with the Shadow Blue colour.
Will post pics as soon as I can.
No plans straight away, but what do you guys recommend?

after having 1 of these previous and getting another, which i have now, i cant recommend engine work highly enough, as much as you can afford haha it really brings it to life and makes it a real GTi, other than that, chassis work to stiffen it up and make it handle,
mine goes like a bullet now at 220 BHP and handles like a go cart
im next saving up for a quaiffe or pelequin limited slip diff to really control the power delivery to the floor, but these are verrrry pricey
its a great little car though, with absolutely huge tried and tested mods available being the 20vT lump
