Brakes: Standard

Wheels and Tyres: Mk3 Gt steels 165/65/13

Interior Styling: Standard/Wolfsberg Steering Wheel

ICE and Security: No ICE, Yes Security

Comments: I had bought the car, after it had been stored for 7 years, from a

family selling it on behalf of their Mother who had been placed in a home.

Totally standard with 36000 miles on the clock and fully ziebarted from new (rust/water protection)

a good service/clean etc put it swiftly back on the road.

Now with 38500 miles, she runs like a dream.

Future mods? a slight lowering, period alloys and stainless exhaust.

That's a lovely example Simmo. It really has cleaned up a treat, is the paintwork original?

Will you be sorting out the rear arch and front valance? It'd be superb if you did.

I like the sound of your future plans for the car too. Sensible lowering so it's still practical and drives nicely too would be very nice as would period alloys. Any idea which wheels you'd go for?

Keep us posted,

Cheers,

Richard.

absolutely mint

whoa wait till you try to match that paint!

Thanks chaps, She really is all original for a 30 year old girl.

Valance and arch will be definitely be done and as for the "period" alloys

I have a mint set of 6x13 Wolfrace Turbo's

Puts my little GLS to shame - fair play mate!

Just a little update, put on some refurbed rims

to restore lacking "mojo" and yes, it will be beaten

with a 60/40 stick in the next few days!!

:-D

mate that looks mint nice wheel choice!!!

Wow!

Good stuff!

Cheers Chaps :-D

However, Sold the BBS's to fund these babies! B)

Ronal "Kleeblatts" 6x13, 4x100, et28. I'm totally made up B)

they are some lush wheels right there rob, get em n asap :p

Kleeblatts are a very good choice, i'm hurry to see it on your beautiful Polo.

those kleebatts will look perfect on that PERFECT example :)

well done sir.

love it

Very nice... lets see it with the new wheels on

DUDE!!!!!! This is the car I'm constantly looking at in December's issue of 'Practical Classics'! I've been buying the magazine for years and couldn't believe it when I opened the cover and saw this car inside. Made my week. What can I say? Inspiring.

Nice one. Hope to see you at the Polo Show...

Many thanks for the kind comments chaps, much appreciated.

Hopefully now the weather is better I can crack on with lowering

and fitting the ronals, I can't wait myself!!!

Cheers :-D

cmon rob we all waiting to see what its gonna look like, well we all know it will look awsome!!! mine needs a nice set of wheel at sum point :)

That car is just pure sex, i love the colour and how clean and mint it looks, shame its making me want a MK1 even more now i will have one in the future soon (hopefully)

Well, to say I'm over the moon is a complete understatement, I've finished putting on the suspension and wheels and now I feel the polo is "mine" B)

To anyone wanting to lower their polo a 60/40 drop is spot on, I was surprised how low it ended up, just right IMO...

60/40 drop, with VWI calipers Brembo discs and Pagid pads with the old homemade braided brake lines... (the wheels cleared without any spacers with the VWI Kit) the rims are Wolfrace Turbo's 6x13 ET 15 (I think) with 165-55-13's...

couple more, realised it has the carbon fibre bumpers on, will put on some CF caps soon

that looks amazing!

It's a dangerous mix :blink: , putting the chromies back on, sunshine, roadtrip and a camera in your hand...

stunning simmo, still cant wait to actually get the chance to see this in person
