Ritey Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi ALL A newbie showing his proud GTI POLO to all that want to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s4dreamer Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Hi DMWRIGHT, Welcome to Tyresmoke. Looks like a very nice car indeed and blimey, that lower half of your front bumper looks just like my R32 (apart from the foggies, of course). I like the Polo now it's a decent size and has a decent level of comfort and performance in it. It'd be even better if they did an 'R' Polo though. Might be tempted!

shao_khan Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 I love the polo and Lupo GTi's think they are fantastic cars - It is such a shame you couldnt get the Polo GTi with the Colour Concept trim as that would have made it unbeatable. I do hope you put the fogs on for show purposes......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amstrange1 Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Nice car mate, I wouldn't mind one (or a Lupo GTI, or a chipped new Polo TDI) as a daily driver. Then I could do silly things with me G40! Oh, for £20k or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly306 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hello mate, car looks good, but then again so does the photographer! (That was me, modest as ever!) <font color="blue"> </font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcat Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 We had one of these, great little car and a cracker to drive, the WO still hanks after another one. Welcome to TSN and enjoy that car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritey Posted December 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Is it me or does that 1 look like its been jacked up, I can assure you it hasn't, but it looks like a set of 19"'s are needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amstrange1 Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Wow, it does look very high! A 40mm drop or so should have it looking sweet though - really like those wheels too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 I test drove one of these when looking at cars prior to the S3 purchase. Lovely little car, nippy and cornered pretty well, the dealer looked a tad scared too just not enough poke for me (coming from a Mk3 GTi) Put your pics up into the gallery, add to the expanding VW collection Welcome to ts.net incase anyone hasnt mentioned it before.

N3WOB Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Nice pics DW, brings back memories of my old 3dr GTI polo. Have you been polishing under the wheel arches?! Be interesting to see how it effects your pulling power, although that's obviously not why you bought it - "it's just to get me to & from work, honest"!?!

amstrange1 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 [ QUOTE ] just not enough poke for me (coming from a Mk3 GTi) [/ QUOTE ] Are the Mk3 GTIs fairly quick then? I always assumed (probably wrongly) that they were quite lardy and underpowered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 They are, I was looking for my next jump in performance, hence the polo not being suitable. Also test drove a V5 and 1.8T. The factor of the S3 was unbelieveable, everything I was looking for plus a whole lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amstrange1 Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 The 150bhp 1.8T Mk4s seem pretty poor performers IMHO - I've not driven one, just overtaken a few... But I'm only 20bhp down on them, and a hell of a lot lighter. Wouldn't mess with an R32 or S3 though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted December 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 Hello RB, Was wondering how long it would be before you signed up, welcome to TS.net! So have you any pics online regarding your beast?? (R32 that is ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudgun Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Nice car mate Xenons are the dogs undercarriage indeed I think those wheels are BBS RX aren't they? All Polos and Lupos are too tall imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted December 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Yeah they are the BBS RX2's 15" - Look pretty neat for VW wheels I think, just a shame there not a couple of inches bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moschops Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 For christ sake dont kerb the alloys, as I found out when I kerbed my wifes last year, £431 from VW!!!!!! My wifes had hers from new, spec: Leather Electric Roof Flash Red Run from new on Mobil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 And in the best colour as well - look good in Red (IMO). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moschops Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 Yes she looks great in red, forgot to add that its also got Seat Airbags as well, not an option we wanted but the car had them fitted and the dealer didn't charge us for them.... No real problems, although we did have the Brake alarm come on and it went back via low loader to the dealership, car still stopped but the VW Breakdown service advised us that we should not drive it any further and that they would collect it and get us back on the road....very helpful. Having down many searches not found another one with the same spec as my wifes car. Private plate has been on the car from new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
