Polo 1.2 TDi Match (First car!)

Hey! This is my first post post, though I've been checking out the forum for a couple of weeks now.

I'm 17 in a couple of weeks and I've just bought my first car (with help from my dad), which is a 61 plate Polo Match 1.2 TDI and I'm very very pleased with it as you could guess haha! :D I pick it up at the end of next week when it has rear parking sensors put on it. I'll take pictures when I see it tomorrow.

As I'm 17 and it's a nearly new car, I can't really do much apart from remove the dealer sticker/debadge off the top of my head - any other suggestions?

I've seen a few people on here being dicks to young drivers with new cars so if you're going to be jealous then don't bother replying please, I contributed over £5000 to my car and the car will be equally used by my parents so I'm nota spoilt brat :roll:

Hope to get really involved in the forum and get to know you all, I've been a massive fan of cars since I was little so I'm really excited to get on the roads :mrgreen:

Car specs:
2011 (61) VW Polo 1.2 TDi 5 door
Multifunction leather steering wheel
Front and rear mud flaps (short)
VW rubber floor mats - front and rear

Welcome to the forum! Very nice first car - safe, reliable and good looking... Good choice!

Debadge and start detailing :) get some good shampoo, two buckets, grout sponges, plush drying towel, polish, wax and microfiber cloths and keep it sparkling at all times!!

Better to have a mint standard car than anything dirty IMHO :)

Drive carefully too!

Cheers

Josh

I've always liked VWs and I don't see that changing so I could be the same! It's Reflex Silver, I would have preferred grey but I'm not fussed and I hope to either respray the alloys black or grey/anthracite (tight budget, insurance etc) although I'd love to get some different alloys, GTi grill and lower it in the future.

First car!
