Yeah i think that's the one! Mine's a '96 slammed on polished wheels.. I live in Willenhall mate so any cars i see up this end are just by chance, i think ive seen yours once or twice though.. Is Andy on here? or do you have any info on the car? sounds ace..

Seen it a few times, you let me out of the car park on Brickyard Road about a month ago lol, im in the black Polo... Was actually just wondering what exhaust and other mods you're running? I never hear your car coming, but remember one evening you booted it over the bridge after that turning, and it sounded so nice, popped and chattered Chris.

I was up Cannock with a few mates and spotted 3 Glanza's. First was a white one, 'S' reg, i think the guy is mates with Liam who also has a white one? Second was a black one, may have had a bodykit on of some type, was with the white one. And then a blue/silver one that parked up on KFC, only had a quick glance at that. Was a busy night up there, no police that i saw, good to see some Glanzas up there Chris.

Check out Detailing World mate, there's plenty of people in your area that would be able to machine polish the paint for a good price

Going by prices of my local few shops that do alot of VW's etc.. For a good job too, not a cheap one.. around £800 for an exterior respray in the same colour.. Around £1000-1100 if you want to include the door shuts, top of the inner wings and boot shut. Also im not sure what Glanza's are like, but in my Polo, the rear side windows need to be removed for a proper spray cause of the exposed rubber seals, which make it a mission to mask off. Change of colour would be the same price, either way the car needs to be flatted back down so it doesnt make much difference what colour goes back on top. Thing is, if you need scratches, stone chips and any work like that included, it will knock the price up as it's just more time consuming. It always helps if you can do as much prep work as possible yourself, but only if you know that it will to a good enough standard for the shop to work on. I for example, needed my bonnet repainting due to loads of stone chips. Would have been alot of prep work as it needed putting back to bare metal. Something like that you could easily do yourself, either buy a spare bonnet without chips, or put a spare on your car and prep your own. Just a case of sanding the paint down through the grades until the bare metal, then whack some etching primer on. Prep work is always the most time consuming and therefore affects the price drastically. HTH.

Thanks dude Plans are: Arches rolled and rears flared slightly Remove bump strips (at last) Smooth rear badge and handle Smoothed off door handles Shortened rear plate recess Outdoor respray Full alarm system with central locking, door and boot poppers and remote start. Leather seats from another car with door card fabrics trimmed to match False floor in suede with install relocated into it Roll cage (show) polished with 'X' brace And a few other things lol, cant touch the engine on this....

You do alot of Dub shows then Mez?

I think the rat-look is best left to the aircooled and hotrod guys to be fair, Renault Clios with rusted bonnets and a window full of random stickers just dont cut it in my book lol

Great video! Cant wait to go there in a couple years What's the carousel (sp) like? Do you just kinda flow into it or is there a technique to driving round it right..?

Got a big folder of pics from this, just uploading some faves now

Lovely car mate, keep it til August next year and i'll 110% buy it lol.

That G40 is stunning! I had a Mk3 Polo before this, just a basic 1.3 though lol, no supercharger.. Think ive seen that on ClubPolo though, lovely colour @ Dan SV .. will be doing the same i think mate, i love dubs and jap pretty equally, as long as it's got some sweet rimmage lol, but with the dubs its the low and slow look for me as insurance is still a nightmare, give it a couple years and i'll jap for something fast Thanks for the comments guys..

Thanks fellas, and no rusty bonnets on this one

Thanks mate, Seen your car on ClubPolo

My current expedition.. 1997 VW Polo 1.4 SE. This is my second car, got it at 18, getting a couple years no claims off it, (so will have 3 in total) then gonna try and tackle Glanza insurance lol. Couple pics from GTi Spring Festival at thet 'Pod in March.. old pic from before wheel polishingss... And a rolling shot, sorry for mobile phone quality.. Comments? Chris.

I was looking at this car for ages on Pistonheads.. One of the finest examples of one of my favorite cars, simply stunning! Drift carefully!

Idrees have you got the build thread on Club Polo? think ive read through it Im Smithy_6n on there.

Thanks! Just google'd you mate, i knew there had to be an owners club out there, always had a soft spot for these cars, just building up the No Claims.. I wanted a JDM Civic Type R... but im not sure.. i need boost in my life, and going to Honda from VW wont be easy! 'Vtec just kicked in y0' etc etc...

Alrite guys, im a VW man at the moment but im saving for a Glanza when i turn 20 to replace my Polo, so thought id sign up to do some research etc.. Chris.
