Obviously not a Mk1 Golf, but you get the idea! :rolleyes:

Maybe ATS cups, detailed/polished engine (1043cc), G40/Golf interior, waxed to within an inch of it's life! :grin:

No other reason than my GTi is in the garage & I've been reminiscing about the days with my first car (1991 Polo CL) but this time low & phat! :wink:

Could have a point, maybe some BBS but not sure if they'd look as good with stretched tyres!? :huh:

Either way, it will depend on what fleabay turns up cheapest!! :grin:

What's the polo like compared to the golf?  As easy to work on?  As many parts around?  What sort of engines do they come with?  Not been into VW's before but think I'm getting slowly hooked..

Just going on my experience - mk1 golf v mk4 polo - the golf wins everytime..feels more sturdy, better handling, better build quality...and its annoys me that the air filter on the polo has like 5-6 screws - just for an air filter!!
saying that the gt I had was fab for a little nippy car...and some of the polos being modded now are well  :cool:

You're going to convert a Polo into a Golf?

You Golf3 boys have some funny ideas.

Have always liked those Polo Coupes - what the biggest lump you can fit in them? Can they take a valver???  :evil:

Haha! Something like that, just the cal look stylings anyway, or perhaps more euro looker. Hell, a trend has to start somewhere & I'd almost put money on there being fewer Polo Coupe's around than Mk1 Golfs!!

Not to say it's a better car, just something interesting to play with! :grin:

Yup! :wink:

Well, the MK3 shape which basically had a face lift at the front.

No, the bay is to small. Well OK you could fit one but it would be a real ball ache. I thnk 1.4 GT lump or the G40 is about the biggest you can go before you have to start cutting up the chasis legs to get clearence.

Sadly the sale fell through, the woman selling it had problems with the new car they were suppose to be getting which was a shame. :sad:

Just have to hold out for a MK1 golf instead!! :evil:
