TrisK Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 (edited) Well, i had my Glanza. and decieded i wanted rid so that the girlfriend and I save some money to move in together.I was driving my sisters 1.4 8v fiesta for a bit, and after the glanza that made me want to end my life. so i went looking for something cheap.I found a Polo GTI. 2000, with 88,000 miles. Just had a new clutch, cambelt and service and 4 new tyres.I offered him a cheeky 1400, he said 1800, then eventually we met half way. I was happy.Heres one of the only pictures I have:The polos are known for coming with the BBS's as standard, but they are known for corroding badly so first job was to clean these up:Decieding that was enough a few mates and me spent a couple of weekends with the sand paper and rattle cans:It then sat like this for a little bitbefore i decided it was far to high and bought some suspension to do this:and thats where it stands nowall thats left to do is so spacers, and my mate owes me a favour so will wrap the mirrors (and maybe the roof) gloss black for me.its no glanza, but its ok for nowany opions, guessing your all gonna hate it but as i keep telling myself when i own my own house itll be worth it!

TrisK Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 you traitor... If it aint Jap its Crap Na, tbh i like these little things, slow... but still cool! xthis is the GTIso they are 123bhp.So not that much slower than a standard glanza, and they dont feel like they might fall over in a corner either.its not amazing, but its more exciting than my sisters fiesta Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Tidy runabout black wheels ruin the clean look though, I'd have definitely resprayed them silver or maybe a light grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 The polo has wheel bolts rather than wheel nutsand its impossible to find nice ones.Does anyone have any reason why I couldnt put studs in into the hub, then use bolts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
