Okay, so a little about me, my names AJ, for short, I am female...and know a bit about cars...but cant really do any mechanical work, but am learning.

I have a few jobs and am studying at uni, so keeping busy and would think I have more money than I actually do...but am planning on doing bits here and there to get this car looking a bit better and to start putting my 'stamp' on it. My first car was a 1994 0.9 Fiat cinquecento, which was okay for a first car, was a bit scary though, I then moved onto a 2004 1.4 seat arosa, which was great and regretably sold it for a orange lupo gti, which infact, was falling apart. After all the stress that the lupo caused... I decided to stick with the vw's and get a polo. It needs a new starter motor and some of the tappets need replacing, but apart from that...thats all that I can see wrong with it.

Spec:

2002 1.4 16v se

3 doors (wahoo)

Debadged at rear

De-wipered

FK coilovers, at 50mm.

White pepperpots (not sure if I like them white...)

Sounds a little like a baby tractor atm, tappets.

Aircon.

Needs a bit of touch up paint here and there.

JVC double din cdplayer.

Looks good, I'm hopefully getting one of these in a month or so, Audi pepperpots look alrite in white imo.

And I too know the horrible sound of tappets

pepperpots look really nice in white (if u fancy getting rid of them though give me a shout) car looks good looking forward to seeing more done to it :)

Thanks.

I'm not planning on getting rid of them, jus maybe a new lick of paint. But I'm not bothering about the pots too much atm, makes a diff from all the bbs', so ill prob keep them.

wheels are ace! white works nicely too.

sad to hear about the dodgey lupo GTI, damn i love lupos and arosas (shouldn't be saying that on here ahaha)

So a big update of all the new things...:

...Brought new JVC double din head unit, as after having a dvd player in the loop, I needed something bigger than a single din. Also got new plates on, nice and simple, one of the yellow bolts on the back was covering a letter....black permanent marker worked a treat :p

The time came to put my stamp on the car. Fruit polo wrappers! Got round to doing the front and rear badge , with plenty of lacquer to keep it solid (she says).

Here are the pics:

After a trip to Southend:

To come - Some pics of abit of sticker bombing and a suprise I'm working on which will hopefully turn out well, if it doesnt...there will be no suprise lol.
