Hello, Newbie here with a VW

Featured Replies

Hi, Just thought i'd introduce myself.

Decided to join the site as I own a VW polo and as the fabia is basically the same car underneath, I figured it'd be a good idea to join up and say hello.

The car's a 1.2 12v 65ps SE model with a few personal little touches added on. See if you can spot which one is off a skoda :D

Before I refurbed them:

Hope you like my polo and I look forwards to getting to know you lot.

Welcome to Briskoda.

OMG, what happened to those alloys?!

Car looks smart on them.

they came off a car with only 1500 miles on the clock believe it or not. However the last few yards were spent on both sides and its roof!

Bought them with brand new tyres to play about with and see what kind of finish I could get on them. Not bad for 250 notes!

I've heard about you on other forums, you're the strut brace/tow bar girl arent you?

Hi and welcome

That roof rack could slow your mate down a bit!

What a stupid thing to do, you must be confusing me with someone else :rolleyes:

Surely other people have done stupid things too!!

Plenty of them have , and I'm pretty sure the link to the post where they admitted it would have been passed round plenty of other car forums just like yours was.

yea, the link to the topic was passed around two forums I frequent quite alot

clubpolo.co.uk and fordmondeo.org

Was also on multiple cruise websites and I was constantly getting linked to it on MSN. Glad to hear it hasn't put you off though Emily! we all live and learn :thumbup:

Glad you all like my car :D

oh and the roof rack, he usually has his set of mirror polished tramonts on there for show. He's removed it now though and has sprayed "YOUR 4x4 IS GAY" on his roof instead.

Panda, don't suppose you could provide links??

your sig tells a different story:

yes emily, you are an idiot. you put incontinence instead of inconvenience, you smuggled a dog to a track day and you tried to tow someone with a strut brace.[/color']

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

you're kidding me?

Theres no nice girls on here anyway mate :rolleyes:

Going slightly back on topic, what did you do to restore the alloys. Maybe you could post a little "how to" thread - I'm sure it would be of interest. You look to have done a great job on them :thumbup:

Welcome to Briskoda,

Yep, your 1.2 is built in the skoda factory in CZ :D

Take it that the VW, Seat and Skoda lumps all share parts and are therefore interchangable come service time :thumbup:

Got to admit though, it's a cracking engine. Cheap servicing using dealer parts too! Last oil change cost me
