This is what I mean about the front end pic. You CAN see it but it is very subtle.



Close up on same pic

Photoshopped to get it lighter and delete the reg plate.

Looks great John, nice little touch.  I could never decide on the silver carbon but the subtle touches on the Polo look ace  :smiley:

Cheers Mike. :smiley:

You'll soon be over in Blighty, so come over and talk shop sometime. :happy2:

Should give you a good excuse for a blast over in your red rocket.

Driven carefully up the maidstone to nottingham I managed 51mpg. (It did include a 20 mile stretch of 50mph contraflow on the m1 though)?

Even driven hard they don't drop that low.  A 50 mile return journey from leicester to rockingham, and a whole day on track and i was mid 20'smpg iirc.  Awesome economy for the performance

Yep, on the Polo GTI's 10 gallon tank I have had 440 miles out of it.  :happy2: The hills around here knock the mileage down though! :sad1:

But it does make it fun driving on them  :evilgrin: :driver:

Okay, a couple of pics..

1st one is a daylight pic of how the car looks now.


2nd one is the look I'm going for on the front end - suitably mean and moody look  :scared:
