New Polo - I've got one!

[DoctorNS]

My first post on this forum, been a big lurker for a while now and thought I should share a picture of mine..
Its a flash red 1,4 petrol with sunroof, 16" mistral, tinted all the way 35% (not on picture though)
Only mods left is lowering springs, what you guys think?

Looks good, like those wheels gives the look of a top of the range model. Also like the photo itself with the darken effect on the edges. Just learnt there getting rid of the 1.4 model in OZ at least, when the Up! arrives next year.

Yep! they are getting rid of the 1,4 and making room for a 1,2 with around 90hp I just heard from my dealer..

Picked up the gti this morning and after waiting 11 odd months ,my feelings were desensitized but hopefully i will feel more upbeat given time.I drove to the city looking for the tinting shop at angas st but it was closed .Coming back to the car anyway, i felt the cars accelerated power is great but its not as placed and smooth driving compared to my old mark 5 golf gti .Might be the roads in th city but best to try out on the freeway later on .Or perhaps its my imaginations after too long a wait.cheers tay.

Awesome, great to see another GTI in SA. Only seen one other so far on the road a couple weeks back so wouldn't have been you then yet.
