Hello all. Joined a couple weeks ago whilst looking for a 1.4 S to become my daily since my lovely mk2 polo coupe s got bummed at 60 by some bell end in a festa putting me in hospital and my car in a ditch. :(

Well, found one not too far away and seemed good for the money so here it is...will update this though I'm trying to save my pennies for my other 3 VWs. :lol: Need to get the cambelt etc done asap as well as don't think it's been done. :wacko:

Sorry for the crappy phone pics btw. :(

Before I got it, paint looked well flat:

After a quick clean and polish today:

And here's the new wheels mid-refurb, 14" castellets I had. (everything on a budget here!)

I'm aware the current wheels are gash.com/chav so they're the first thing to go..hopefully I can get some pennies for them as the tyres (195/45/15) are nearly new.

All comments welcome. :)

Not sure on the wheels but gotta love the neon green Lupos, lol.

I usually put wheels in a bin bag and then mask the edges when they've got tyres so you don't get paint on the tyres. but I suspect you intend to change the tyres on the castellets anyway.

Here's a quick update, the wheels are finished and on- I'm not changing the tyres as I'm not supposed to be spending money on this as it's my daily driver. :( I would love some decent coilies eventually though. Gave it a wash in the rain today but it brightened up later on so here's a couple pics taken at Clumber Park. :)

Poor you and more importantly poor Coupe S! I always get nervous when I see Pikeys in a fiesta or a corsa, steer well clear of them.

I miss my Coupe Parade. By far the best car in the world. Better than your steam powered Lupo any ways. :P
