  • To complement my GTI Pirelli

    bought this little fella for my wifey. 27kms for 19 grand!!!

    Bought it as a run around so that i can drive it to and from work and leave the pirelli at home during the week.







    Its a nice little car!! i really enjoy driving it. Pirelli should be here any day now!!!!

      Only until he chips the Pirelli, then the GTI won't see which way the Pirelli went

        Aint that the truth. I have eibach suspsension being fitted to the pirelli also, and the the APR tune will make for quite a quick ride i would think..

        As for chipping the polo, well its for mainly my wife to drive. Her last car was a 2004 XC Barina 1.4 65kw 124nm, needless to say she is impressed with the performance already!!

        I think i'll put some nice bigger wheels on it and leave the rest stock


        For now at least anyway

          Thats a great find!!
          Not that long ago that the early Polos were fetching that sort of money. It will be a good looking driveway when the Golf turns up.

            If it was black it would've cost at least 2K more

              We run the same system here, the TDI Golf stays in the carport while our 1.4 L auto Polo does all the running around.

              What size motor in yours?

                      good purchase there PirelliAC, what year model is it?....i bought mine second hand Dec '07 for $24,490 (2006 model, APR chip, black bonnet, tint, leather, 17" wheels, $1,000 head unit) and i thought that was a great buy

                      not looking good for resale the Polo's

                        Surely you wouldn't leave the Pirelli at home during the week? Thats criminal.
                        I have heard there is nothing more damaging to a car that not driving it far and regularly....water rusts exhaust etc....best you PM me and I can drive it around during the week for you seeming you'd prefer to drive the Polo

                            Yet if it was silver would have been a whole $5K more ......

                            Nice find there for the price .... and leave it stock since your wife will be driving it. My wife finds the extra power that arrives in a rush to be too over the top and prefers it in stock mode. Worse yet ... she prefers to drive her RAV4 over the GTI.
