  • The headlights can normally be saved by polishing out the hazing, you can buy headlight restoration kits on ebay/halfrauds etc

Finally got her sorted & even squeezed 8hp extra after a remap & a new performance panel filter.

There was a nail in my rear tyre, my suspension was leveled & also needed my tracking done...now she is running great, so just gotta put a fund aside to get my paint work done.

Gonna have ago at fitting the window tints when I get time, but being a dad has taken up my spare time, then all I want is to sleep & work. ?

Parked up alongside my families 'German whips' think she looks pretty neat next to the old trusty 'Audi 1.8T' glad I invested in what they called anew 'old dog' now my car looks better than their's...Lol ?

We need to inspire other owners to recognise what a great little car we own.

Recently, we had some severe rain storms down here, in the southern parts of the UK.

I got caught up in one on the way home from Birmingham.

Obviously I was rallying home, aquaplaned, lost it & ended up in a ditch?

Lucky escaping without any harm to myself, but Lola-S wasnt so lucky.

Damages were:

Minor scratches to driver side, rear wing & a slight ding to the sill on the same side.

The tip of my fabricated exhaust was ripped from the back box & my rear suspension needs to be rebalanced.

But otherwise fine.

Here are some shots, before she is sent back to the shop for repairs...

Just glad to have come away from this incident without any serious damage.

I came around a bend & hit water, as the road straightened up, but as I steered to the car continued to swerve & I could feel there was no traction & I went spinning.

Fortunately the country roads were empty so nobody was in danger but me.

It seems that all the improvements are beginning to add up in a big way for your ‘Lola’.

I think the little VW valve dust caps are an excellent touch, I would never have thought to customise those.

I hope you get the desired results with the respray and window tinting.

Sadly, I just got home from hospital after crashing my 9n...

On Nov 7th, at about 5pm, I was hit by a tit driving a 'Ford C-Max' sending me into a tree...

The dude has only gone & blamed me, putting my claim into dispute, but sadly, I went to collect my belongings from the salvage yard today & saw the extent of the damage for the first time, I felt like my Dog had died...?

R.I.P. LOLA-S

Bloody hell - sorry to hear about that. At least you're here to tell us about it. 

 

Planning another polo or something different?

Wow thats f****d. Main thing is your still breathing and alive. Cars can easly be replaced but lives cant. Hope you get another polo when you recovered proper.
