Hey, I'm in the same boat as you, bought a polo as my first VW and its been nothing but trouble ever since haha!

Red cars = win

I'm new too.. but that wont stop me saying WELCOME!!

thanks guys :-) its been a bit of a pig to be honest haha did spark plugs, ht leads. dis cap the lot when i did coilpack, then was exhaust and brakes and then manifold could have cried! lol

onwards and upwards tho! :-D

With the paint just buy some auto glym SRP and polish it till the colour comes back and then put some wax on it. Should last a while and easy to do.

u cant see from the pics but not only is it faded but has run marks/streaks in it, i wash and polish every week trying to see if it makes a difference and so far hasnt but ill get try that instead )

What happens when people don't look after their cars, least you know with anything you replace now that it's going to work and you'll give it the love it deserves!
