new to the fleet

Hi all i was sat on ebay a few days ago and was thinking i need another dub for this years season.

Scrolling thru ebay and came across this little polo 6n 1.0, quite tidy and doesn't really need much, runs and drives like brand new, shell has done 64,000 engine has done 51,000 with proof. obviously as you can see it has been played about with abit in some ways good and some not so good.

Good bits as i can see

1.4 16v Engine done 51,000 (still 1.0 on the logbook)
RS Tuning front bumper (wasn't to keen when i got it but its growing on me)
16" seat ibiza cupra wheels
Stainless cat back system
Brand new spax shocks and springs
Nice spoiler
16v interior
Very clean inside, no scuffs or dirt on anything
Runs and drives very well.

Not so good bits

No tax or test, that definatly reflected in the price i paid and i cant see it failing to be honest.
There are some diy jobs that have been done like, fittling the mesh in the bumper, some touch ups and the wheels
There is some surface rust on the polo but i trained as a body repairer/sprayer for 3 years so nothing to me at all.
It still has the standard 1.0 rear drums (these will be changed asap)

Things i have planned for the ol' gal

New drivers door
Sort the rest of the bodywork out
Currently looking for some alloys (something different)
Full custom stainless exhaust from my mate at ppt in louth, (ive had 12 exhausts from these guys now)
Im wanting to take a trip down to "cool louvres" to get my bonnet stamped.
6n2 rear lights
Some nice headlights

Thats about it, have a look at the pics all comments welcome, cheers

not bad mate,u will have it sorted out soon enuff!

dont look a bad buy that dude.... Personally not keen on the front bumper and have they bent the grill in too?.... rear bumper is the 16v one i tnink... and looks a good 16v interior too..

I wonder if you could use spare 6n grilles to replace the mesh in that front bumper? A bit of tweaking should be done to get rid of the bulge in the top of it too, from certain angles it looks like it's hit a post :/

Mind you, it's a really good starting point, could see some good stuff from this one with a bit of TLC.

rear bumper is a valver one

Hey mate, see you started ignoring my messages on Edition38, so Ive been tracking you down.

Just so that everyone knows, this member has been scamming over on edition 38. He's had £50 off myself for items which have never been received, and since has just ignored admin and myself.

Would be good to get that money back, issue sorted out, and then you wont have this scammer reputation?

did you send the money via paypal?

if so and you didnt send it as a gift you can get it back

Should have added, here's the link to anyone interested:

Unfortunately I sent it as 'personal payment owed' far too trusting. So I cant get it back through paypal. Thanks for the help though!

I just want to make people aware so nobody else loses out. OR just get the guy to send a refund over and this will all go away!

Thanks for the heads up on this matter veedubdude.....

Will leave this thread open for a while in the hope that the guy does good and comes up with an explination, and ya cash and goods....

So it is over to you now vw-jib
