 :pomppomp: Hello all :) I'm new to this forum and I thought this would be the place to show my car :driver:
My old petrol VW Polo I had (First car) finally died after 180k so I decided to buy this car at the start of June 2015, its an '08 TSi GT Sport with 60k on the clock.
Since my brief owner ship I have;

* Replaced the Timing chain
* Replaced the water pump
* Changed all the interior halogen lamps for 6000k Leds
* Changed the Headlights/ Sidelights/ Foglights/ Mainbeams for 6000k also
* Changed the original RCD300 for a newer Led RNS510
* Glovebox Mdi
* the old Hazard switch for a Cherry red one
* TSI inserts in the seats
* GT Sport gear knob cover
I aim to do alot more depending on funds! such as GTI Steering wheel, JOM Springs,R32 Rear lights, Monza 2s, Paint the plastic black bumper to steel grey, GTI Front end with GT badge, painting brake calipers ect.


After a happy weekend of cleaning for the first time!



As I bought it


Updated interior

Rob1:
Very nice just as mine looked when I first bought

bluebert92:
Thanks :) the interior was immaculate and the exterior was pretty good, a slight dent on the rear left quarter panel but I've got chips away to come soon! Then I'll start the heavy modding stuff haha

I Have a few items en route to my car such as a MK7 GTI Gear knob and the MK5 GTI Steering wheel with grey stitching, so my wages are being stretched much to the missus' disgust! So after seeing @millar95 painting his brake calipers recently It gave me the courage to use a day off work productively (and incredibly cheaply!)
I popped down to Halfords and got myself some Gunk Degreaser, a Hammerite Smooth silver spray can, a 1inch brush and some heat resistant red caliper paint and I went to work...

^Before shot


^During shot, please don't mock my paint on the pad fascia... I did clean it off!!! :ashamed: :ashamed:


^ Finished product, overall I'm pleased with the results and was a nice easy and somewhat therapeutic mod and easy on my wallet too! about £20! ( I Know my allows need some TLC unfortunately the ape I bought it of loved a curb)

I also picked up a used set of GTI Pedals from @Wooosh for a good price and fitted them, (The throttle pedal is interesting to remove!) just need a OEM foot rest one now!

Left it parked in the road at my girlfriends parents house for 1 night. It's a private road with no turning and a dead end. Some oxygen thief decided to scratch my drivers door and smashed the glass in my wing mirror :fighting: :mad:
