Hey everyone. After two years owning my Polo GTI its starting to get a bit rough around the edges and is in the garage slowly getting fixed up. Its a super fun car and I love it, but sometimes I think VW designed them only to last for certain 10 years then start to fall apart :/ but it is what it is and its still the most fun thing I have driven. Maybe I will rat rod it or do the whole VW roof tray thing with it.

Mines a Polo 2006 9n3 GTI in dark metallic blue.

Interior:
Headliner recovered as it was sagging
Door cards recovered as they sagged
Dreaded cracked dash
IPod connector

Exterior:
Clear coat is fading on bonnet and roof.
Roof racks to get the surfboards to the beach where it sits in the sun fading
Lowered on Bilstein Coil-overs (makes it feel like its on rails but not so super hard that it hurts)
Aftermarket wheels (17's)

What im doing currently / what needs doing:
resolving dash Christmas tree of lights
Auxiliary air pump fixed
Ignition coil
Brake pads
ABS speed sensor (ESP currently not working causing Christmas tree effect)

So thats me and my Polo...
