Darkside's VW Polo MK4 GTI

Featured Replies

Its finally time to let this polo go to someone who can appreciate driving it and enjoying it some more, perhaps even take it to the next level.

Unfortunately saving for a house deposit means this car has to go...

The car currently only has two issues- fuse has blown somewhere for the amps and sidelights at the front have stopped working- easily fixed with some time- i will sort this if the car is sold.

Private reg on the car is to remain with me- you will need a shorter registration to run the bootlid this car has or you can place an offer for my reg.

I've owned this car since late November 2006 and it has undergone quite a few changes both bodywise, bumper changes, wheel changes and even the colour.

Some may remember this car when it had banded steels and a BMW M3 mica black colour...

PLEASE NOTE- I DONT WANT PM'S ASKING WHERE I BOUGHT THIS OR THAT... Sorry but i had to put that because no doubt someone who is lazy and cant be asked to look around for parts will ask...and no the car is not being broken YET! 8-)

2 days to go and it'll be at Early Edition...feel free to have a chat with me...happy to do a deal even if it means selling the car bare bones for less cash. 8-)

BUMP...car really needs to go in one way or another...see the breaking section if you're interested in parts- i've got a tester out to see who wants what.

Would prefer to sell the car intact upto a point...hence the above options.

Please let me know if you have a reasonable offer, worst i can say is no. :cry:

How much minus wheels, audio, interior bits and seats mate?

I WANT YOUR TAIL LIGHTS NOW!!!

^Car is dying for a new driver... :unibrow:

I will be on holiday from the 23rd June-2nd July, but back in time for the polo show- If anyone would like to take a look around the car or even strike up a deal- the car is only 5 mins from the show ground, please pm me if you want to arrange a viewing. :-D

poor car...wasting away here...anyone interested, or knows anyone interested- pop over to mine and take a look...its amazing in person, trust me. :-D

even if you dont want to buy it complete...i'm a flexible guy, pop along and lets see what we can sort out.

I'm not in a massive rush, but need this car sold to help fund a house deposit (yes its that time in my life...) :cry:

  • Author

Notice it does say offers after each price...dont be shy...obviously no silly offers please. 8-)

  • Author

Anyone interested in taking the car whole for £6k ono? :-D

Even if you broke it, you'd make this back easy...

Just in case you dont know, the whole shell has been overhauled...so new nuts, bolts, washers...bushes, bearings...the lot. Its like a new car.

Would love to see this go to a new home, one that can take it to the next level- smoothed bay, 20vt, air ride? 8-)

  • Author

Would anyone consider buying this car as a rolling shell with all panels and glass still attached? (perfect for a full retrim/engine conversion).

I can leave the brakes, dash setup/hidden loom/carpet...but everything else taken off. £3500ono.

Considering it has cost me this to even have the bodywork look the way it does...i think its worth it.
