Featured Replies

Okay so no pics yet. Did have a lupo however it broke so opted to order a new polo.

Can't believe i'm on my second car and still only 17 haha. Got a white 1.2 Match which I will be picking up on thursday on the day of the new plates :D Got a few plans so will keep this updated with pictures. :) 8-)

Yeah I Will do :), Nothing major, just thinking black roof and maybe black wheels..

Just going to have a play around on photoshop first and see what looks good haha :)

Hate to think what a £14k car costs to insure at age 17 these days.

haha surprisingly not that much. Paid 3900 for a year on a 1.0 lupo, this is 550 from 1st march to 30 may when my policy runs out :-D.

So got the car on 29th feb, so annoying not being allowed to drive it till midnight. But so happy with the car :D :

I'm assuming that's not on your own policy :/

Not really a fan of the new style VW's tbh, but this looks quite nice

£3900 for your existing policy plus £550 extra for March to May? I make that an extra annual premium of £2200 totalling £6100 insurance.

Please tell me I'm wrong.

Made a new quote the other day on go compare and said I was 18 not 17 (will be at renewal ) , came back with 1900 for a year.. Yeah I've paid over the odds for my first year but hopefully it's only going to Get cheaper :)

It's looking really nice mate, have to say the new polo looks great in white. I think black wheels, as you previously mentioned would look good. I am considering getting them done on my 6r, either that or I was thinking about going for the black alloys, that are in the polo accessory book. As Jamesagordon said, think it needs the rear badge taking off.

To be honest not really done anything to it yet. Love the car how it is! Ordered some red vinyl to go on the fog surrounds, everyone seems to be doing them carbon effect, going to be different and see how it turns out.

Don't mind the engine but wish it had more power! Really feel the difference after driving my mums 1.2tsi for 2 weeks :(

Debadged the rear and it does look smoother & better without the "Polo" on the back! Been really sunny lately so going to give her a good clean/polish and get some good shots in the sun! :)

Okay so the vinyl arrived. Wasn't expecting it to look great but thought i'd give it a go and see what the end result was. Disappointed!

Wrapped it good, but just didn't look right :(. Least I tried it though.

Still got quite a bit of wrap left though so planning on doing something else with it, just unsure where/if anywhere would look decent.

Did do something productive, wrapped the removeable panel on the key. Pleased with the result :) The edges actually aren't as bad as it looks on the photo though!
