So its about time I introduced myself I guess,

I'm Daisy, 21, Photography Student from South Wales.
Currently driving a 3 door, mk5/6n2 Anthracite Blue, 1.4 tdi ( AMF ).

I always appreciated polos but never saw my self as a polo owner/driver untill last summer where I had to sell my beloved mk2 golf, due to the fact I was about to start uni which consisted of a 25 mile commute several days a week. I did a little bit of research into reliability and fuel economy (as the golf would of robbed my bank ballance within the first week of commuting ) and was left with two choices, 3L lupo, or 1.4 tdi lupo/polo. It came close to a 3l but struggled to find insurance, untill this little beauty popped up for sale at the right price & was ticking all the boxes, since then I have fallen in love with it!!!

Dont think I have a Pic of the car as it came, Half wound down on TA-Technics, on some 9n steelies with wheel trims. This one is after a good clean [bellow]




Initially I wanted to put the car on some Porsche 928 wheels, but after looking online decided they didnt quite look right and instead found myself a set of d90's. Took me a while to sort of tyres and adaptors but finally got them on the car and just right too
The d90's are 6j's up front and 8j's on the rears running 165/40's and 195/40's. Also camber shims at the rears. I was looking for a set that were due atleast a paint refurb to put a purple colour but luckily came across a set that were pretty damn close! ( at least I can run them until I get the funds for the perfect colour )
When I fitted the d's I went quite alot lower, but still not all the way down still some travel left all round!
As it stand atm [bellow]



Other than giving it a complete overhall clean, ( interior + snow foam, clay, polish, soft&hard wax... you know the score!) the only other thing I can really think of is changed standard wheel to a 280mm Momo! Pretty smart!




I also have a stubby drivers side wing mirror to go on after i finish painting it, hopefully be on by the end of the week!


Been treating this thing as abit of a work horse, now term is nearly over I have quite a few plans, including:

Desperatly need:
- Sump [ cracked and bodged by previously before I owned ]
- clutch, slipping in 2nd now
- brake hose, recently found that its worn through :L
- discs and pads all round ££££!!

After all of the above, other materialist/visual stuff :
- GTI/xenon headlights
- Front Fogs & Grilles
- passenger window switch
- jap spec rear bumper
- Remap - heard its well worth it with these engines, contemplating going straight to stage 2 ? ( obviously with the decat and air filter upgrade)
- possible cruise control
- double din head unit
- new interior (somthing smart not sure of what yet )
- replace the bit of the dash that goes above clocks
- rear spoiler/gti boot lid

Sure theres may more things, but my minds gone blank! its a start any way, let me know what you think guys! and any 1.4 TDI owners, any head up's on any thing would be appreciated. Will try and add more pics soon!

Thanks for looking!! :D

Looking good yeah with a custom remap you'll get about 105-108bhp out of it, window switche are atill available from VW for £17 each rather then buying a second hand one that will probably give up quick again!

Iv got a passenger window switch for sale for £10, but its in grey. As in, inside the passenger door. Not the drivers side control for the passenger switch. Which do you need?

Cruise control is available for £200 fitted.

I didnt think you could get a TDI in anything but the SE model?

Anyway iv got my old foglight grilles if it helps, but they aren't the gti spec ones.

Wish mine was any other colour than silver!

Some ideas for you.

You could also clean the headlights up a bit?
