  • Thanks guys glad you like what I've done as I know a lot of polo owners ain't keen because it's far from the norm what I've done to it

  • Will let you know when the post man delivers it mate. Gotta love eBay haha

  • No mate still waiting for it to arrive

I have a question on the scoop, how did you fit it in regards to the washers fouling? I have got one now and just totally baffled by it

  • Author

I had the same problem mate. Turns out to fit it you have to get shut of your washer jets mate. So that's what I've done and when I have my MOT and the weather turns bad I'll be taking the vent off and putting my washer jets back on until I can figure out a new home for them

I can't be bothered with swapping about, I might do some filing to fit the vent over the washer jet section and drill two small holes in the back of the surround section to run standard jets lol

Good luck mate 👍 I couldn't bring myself to start cutting holes ect into a vent I just paid £50 for 😆

Crazy seeing how much the car has changed since I put the roof rack back on for summer

Roof rack on for summer around March 2015

Also sent car into garage to have new heater matrix , new expansion tank , new radiator and if he has time new cam belt , new water pump and new thermostat before I finally go back to work after a full 22kg beer keg crushed my foot in work.

Ouch !! that looks painful! less so if you drank the contents of the keg :)

Afraid I didn't get to drink the beer nige as I was delivering it to a pub when it happened and got rushed off to hospital. Which has cost me 3 and half weeks off work so far 😞

Today was the first time I've been able to drive the car and that was only to take it the garage after I took the roof rack off 😢

I saw a delivery man loose a big toe after a keg dropped on it as it just missed the toecap on his safety boot that was two sizes too big for him !! so he couldn't claim !!

  • Author

Ouch 😱 the nurses said I was l lucky not to break any bones thanks to me having a good set of safety boots on

Decent baloonage of the foot there!

Whats the plans for the Nova then?

  • Author

Plans for the Nova are roof chop pick up Nova slammed to the road with wheel tuck and thinking a dirty turbo diesel engine

Though I am tempted to have my old 1.6 GSI engine rebuilt and tuned up a bit

Either way it's going to upset a lot of Nova owners but I've never been one for building OEM cars

Damn are you going to get all your stuff swapped over and can you get the bacardi sticker things again?

I really thought this was cool as. Glad to see your getting another one.

Was I right in thinking yours was an SPI 1.3? If so I'll give you a couple bucks for the breather pipes at the back of the block being that it's dead?[emoji14]

Edit: think it's called an oil seperator...sorry if this is a bit inconvenient of me...I'm desperate lol

Yeah will be swapping 99% of my stuff over ready for show season next year and prob will get the bacardi logos printed and stuck on the doors again as only cost £15 for the pair
