Hey guys thought i would put a little post on here to show you all my car
Have been a member of uk-polos.net but haven't posted much so this is relatively new to me lol
Bought the Polo January this year, completely standard 55k on the clock now 60k

lol
Not long after i bought it i added the red piping around the grille (I think it should of been standard)
It was then after that i replaced the standard door speakers...
I then also added a new dvd player...
I also then de badged and de wipered the boot
I then smashed a wing mirror

so as a new one cost £40 ish i bought these instead for £25 lol still not sure on them tho...
I also then added a cone air filter... I know its not in the best place, it does now have a cold air feed to it but i am buying a better one soon anyway...
Then for my Bday i got a sub and amp

then added a switch for them

Still planning to do a proper build to hold it properly
I also added this
So let me know what you think... i added a thread like this on a more local forum, some people weren't to nice about it on there tho... but i heard you are a nice bunch of guys

Welcome to the forum mate
Lovely car you have there, looks spot on.
Like what you have done with the "GTI" badges doing them all red, that looks smart.
Love the little switch you installed too, shame it isnt for NOS

haha
Were all horrible on here

..........only kidding! keep us updated with your cars progress!
Ben,

I've been to a couple toytown meets, and a recent exeter one.
It's getting a bit cold for them now, not sure of any one's im going to this year now.
Get the car into "winter mode" then ready for next year

Welcome to the forum matey,car looks pretty cool.
Gearbox prices vary and so does how long they last.Although Bradley1983 has had 3,im on my origional and so are a few others.Some boxes outlast other by twice as much mileage,depends on several things as to when they'll go.

Hmm thinking mine is on it's way out, it's getting quite stiff, and makes a crunching noise going into 4th now and again... Does that sound like it's going?
