The rear springs have been fitted (as you can see) so will get the fronts fitted to even it out. One of the alloys have got a slow puncture hence the steelie lol

Small update:

Bought a Haynes Manual off Ebay for 99p...bargain!

I also hunted the internet for a Bonnet Bra,looked on Ebay and there was a 2nd hand one for sale. Luckily i won the winning bid and it arrived today:

You can see the condition of the wing:

Also the condition of the rear window. I've got a whole tail gate ready to swap it with. But its currently red,so will spray it up and then swap it.

Set of 4 steelies for £10

IMG_5364.jpg

Also,cleaned the whole interior as glass was EVERYWHERE,came up a treat :)

Rear Bumper removed and started to be sanded down,ready for a lick of paint (front bumper

has been removed aswell)

IMG_5375.jpg

Next plan is to drill the rear window rivets out and clean the silicone up ready for the

new window to be fitted. New exhaust has been paid for and i'll collect it next week (new

mid pipe,back box,all gaskets/rubbers/clamps...£28!)

oh my days man, this is sooo sick. Same colour as mine, and the interior is EXACTLY the same.

Is that a Mk1 golf bra? cause i can't find mk2 polo ones :)

love this colour

  • Author

Nope its a proper bra for the Mk2 Polo :) Saw it on ebay and luckily i won it. Was hunting google for hours for a company who makes them but no one does anymore (as far as i know!)

wow love the colour, never seen another one like it!
