Anyway. In twelve months not a great deal has changed. I still have my Polo GTi, I am still rolling on the G60 steels (which is a big deal, given how much money I spent on rims over the last couple of years!) and I'm still attending shows and meeting up with my fellow dubbers.
Since I last posted the Polo has gotten the start of an I.C.E. install (still need to get an amp, sub and wiring kit), had all the boring things like servicing, M.O.T. blahblahblah and a couple of small cosmetic changes here and there. Pics!
