Silver! Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well OK, so here it is. The Arosa has gone pretty much back to standard and now belongs to a young lady.Here is the replacement......and the normal stablemate pic:Early 2007 on a '56 plate, VW Polo Dune 1.4TDi, Reflex Silver, 15,800 miles on the clock.Needed a car with a practical boot and load space and TSO wanted no lowering. So the Dune fitted the bill perfectly and for me the 1.4TDi was the only real engine option.Didn't particularly want another silver car, in fact I went to look at a black one, but it had sold. Seen this on the forecourt of the local dealership on the way home. Silver cars just seem to speak to me.Wow I have storage!Couple of mods planned already: 9n3 GTi mesh grille and a stubby aerial with a remap at a later date. I willprobably remove the POLO badge, but leave the DUNE.Or what about a V6 4Mo' conversion?Come on all you haters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro3mark Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I quite like that and the plans for it sound excellent, subtle as always Ray, seems weird that the 'DUNE' badge is higher than the Polo too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unheard Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Love it!! They always catch my eye. My friend had to drag me away when i walked into the forcort of a dealer and started to check one out. It would have been fine normaly but we were already quite late for an important meeting I could see one being my next car but it would have to be the older front end and in blue. What is the load capacity like with the seats down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyA Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I have always liked the Dune models, and I'm a fan of the 1.4TDI engine.Good work! Edited August 11, 2009 by MattyA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the load capacity like with the seats down?The black one I originally wanted to see was a Mk6 and TBH I think that version looks better, but hey ho'!I've not even got the back seats down yet, I'm so excited that it's got a boot, a glove compartment and under seat bins...I have always liked the Dune models, and I'm a fan of the 1.4TDI engine.Good work!Cheers Matt. I'm quite liking the TDi already.PS What are you doing on here, should you not be busy keeping your new bride happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Nice! My parents have the black version, and discovered that the spings on them are not the same as the normal Polo as Dune has been made to sit higher for the looks I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Looks nice in the Silver paint! Only seem to see them in blue round here.Shame they didn't bring the 100pd TDI out over here in the Dune as it's a much more economical car with better power delivery!

_JLClark_ Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 smart as! looks real tidy that does cant help in thinking that one on air-ride needs to be CC'd! but anyways nice ride fella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I would like to say thanks for all the positive comments, though to be honest i thought there would be some negativity.Quite liking the TDi, though it is a different beast to drive from both the 1.0 and the GTi.GTi hasn't moved since Saturday, so I'm going for a blast tonight...
