    Hey guys

    Im from South Africa. Stumbled upon the forum while looking for some diy info for my Polo. Im quite a VW nut and a MK1 fanatic. As your'l might know the MK1 is still produced in SA. Having owned 2 i thought id share some pics

    My first MK1:
    1300 Carb
    36DCD down draught
    14" CTI rims then 15" Lenso rims
    60mm Jamex suspension
    Diamond Headlights
    MK2 16 Front Spoiler

    no

    i just sold the velociti last month for a 9n polo. was a tough decision but the polo is more of a family car. will be getting another mk1 soon and that will be modded just for racing

    you have a really great name

    nice cars mate , can you still buy new replacement parts for them easily. i notice that they changed the way the grill mounts which is good considering how easily the old ones broke.

    Welcome to the forum Jared. Any chance you could show us the interior? It would be interesting to see what a modern one looks like.

    Thanks

    Paul
