Some of you may remember my corsa 8v project.
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=605334&page=7
Got bored with that and it's unreliability so swapped it with a mk3 polo coupe gt.
Absolutely love it! Couldn't be happier. Only bad thing about it is a slight petrol tank leak which is common with these. Easy enough to fix.
Plans are to just tidy it up abit really, semi smooth boot, new interior, lower, new wheels as I despise the deep dish borbets that are on it (for sale if anyone wants them). And de-roll the arches as some gook has diy'd rolled them and left it to rust  .
Couple of goodies were on it such as pressed plates (legal ones) and new power flow exhaust 
Will get some better pics up soon as they are not the best haha.
Also looking for some diff wheels that go well with vw's if anyone has any
Comment welcome.

Well not been on in a while as ive been busy as fuck. So took some pics the other day of how the polo stands.
Got rid of the borbets and got some teardrops. Were in a horrid state so referbed them in Tvr graphite grey.
Then got my arches through the post , just need side strips now. :
Not really many big plans if im honest. Just to get the paint work spanking & Maybe lower it abit more, maybe a wheel colour change again? Defiantly sort the interior out. And whatever else comes along that tickles my fancie (:
Comments welcome

Update:
As much as I liked the teardrops I saw some audi pepperpots (I love them)! Going for a bargain price. So off I went to Kent to get them! and sold the teardrops for a tidy profit.
Heres some pics from the add;
There practically mint, need centre caps which Is there only downfall really. Not too sure om colour scheme yet, any ideas?
Got the adaptors on order too! Might need to sort some tyres aswell as they look quite large may give it a bit of stretch.
Comments welcome
