Model: 6n 1996

Engine: 1.4 8v, K&N cone air filter, hidden stainless powerflow middle silencer and back box (from cat. back)

Suspension: TuningArt coilovers maxed out!

Brakes: Brembo grooved disks & EBC Greenstuff sticky pads front, rear standard drums

Wheels and Tyres: 13" Wolfrace sports radars (standard with the SE) only temporary!

Exterior Styling: 16v front & rear bumpers, FK badgeless grille, clear indicators, colour coded door handles, colour coded rear badge, de-wipered with glass blank (courtesy of Andy off here [Polo6n1600i])

ICE and Security: Nothing fancy, Sony headunit, has USB, AUX, CD etc. standard tweeters, component speakers and a 12" mutant sub, with a 800W 4 channel mutant amp in boot. sounds pretty good though for a pretty standard/basic setup.

Comments: I bought the car around this time last year, had done around 105,000 miles. Headgasket went :(, and being a student, I was very poor, so only managed to get the engine replaced months later. Picked up a 60,000mile aex pretty cheap off ebay, good feedback, looked fine. had it all fitted, tested and all, and it still runs like a sack of poo :( they forgot to mention the engine had been sat for months with shitty oil/water in it at the bottom of the scrappy.. Spent so much time & money trying to get it mechanically sound, and still no luck. She's tax and tested now though, so at least I can drive it, but still needs a good service and is sounding a bit tappety.. I'm back to work now, so hopefully she's gonna be fixable, and i'll have her how I want in time to come.

Also, back in november some guy managed to skid up a hill on the ice, into my car, parked outside my house. I thought It was gonna be a write off so I put it all back to standard as I planned on getting another 6n, then found out it wasn't and had it repaired.. Just got the coiloivers back on and she's looking alright :)

little bit of her life^ haha but hopefully she shall be looking better than ever now that I can spend some time money and love on her :p

Here's some pics of how she's sat at the mo.. comments appreciated!

Cheers guys, I'll keep you updated.

Cheers man, yeah I've always had wellers in mind, or superlites? As I may be able to get hold of either quite easily.. Will have to see once i've saved up a little!

And damn it, you noticed haha. When It was getting repaired, they replaced the rear bumper, rear quarter panel and driver side rear light, but gave me a shitty standard one.

So one's a 16v and other isn't. Kinda annoying, but 6n2 rears are next on the list after the engines sorted, so not too worried at the mo.. just temporary! :)

and It would be, if he didn't live down half a miles track to a farm.. I have to park at the end, and get a lift to his house. hahah
