Title: Si's track project
Post by: si polo coupe on June 07, 2014, 10:37:42 pm

Evening all,

Been over a year since I was last in a polo (went down the Ibiza cupra track car route) since pestering a fellow member from here regarding his polo he finally gave in and sold it to me, so after a 15 hour round trip I now have it.

As most of you know the car due to the previous owner doing a fantastic job, its going to take a lot to make the car my own, but im up for a challenge  :)

Ill let the picture do the talking.

Bit of progress on the car, im not a fan of the colour coding on the bumpers so got another front bumper and re-textured the bumpers and the kit, also a day of machine polishing and cleaning. Cant wait to start the stripping.

Is that Lance's 260bhp beast with the gt2560r??? Was this not re-sprayed like last year? Why would he sell that. What a car!!!

How did you manage to get this off of him?
