Simple Stance - 2001 VW Polo 16 Valver

[Deaky97]

What? He's not bought another incredibly mediocre Volkswagen hatchback has he?

Well yeah. I just don't learn.

This Polo however, they're very rare. It's a Polo 16v, one of 277 left on UK roads. As it was a step below the GTI, no one really bothered with them. Still good fun to drive however, packing 100bhp and not a lot of weight is good fun!

This is my one, a clean, well looked after low millage example, with 54k on the clock, 2 previous owners, and some seriously offensive arch gap.

Needs more arch work before i put the rear splits on, but yeah, for now i love it. Hopefully in about a months time it'l be done!!

I love the mk4 polo. Great little car with tons of potential. This gonna be a Daily?

Oh jeeze another one. Still kinda wish we got those over here.

Pumped to see the rears mounted up. Going to look good.

I love them, such a nice platform to work with! It is indeed the new daily! I need to raise it a tad, didn't realise how low the subframes are on these...

Yup, i can't help myself hahaha! Surely you could import a Lupo/Polo over your part of the world? My dad exported his last two Mini's over there!

Yeah likewise, hopefully i'll have chance this week!

First proper drive in the Polo yesterday, coilovers have completely transformed this little thing!! What an awesome car, just needs a slight raise due to the subframe hitting EVERYTHING over about 15mm tall!!

[Deaky97]

So, i did some wheel fitting bits.

The issue is fairly clear. Oh well, this means i can now at least make a start of stripping and rebuilding them!

Not a clue yet! Thinking about buying back my old Renault turbines however!

Went and got some photo's with the Internets newest favourite Polo... (He needs to start a thread)

They looked the part when i was running them last year on JDO!

[screescree]

They would look pretty sweet. Good wheelset for a daily!
