    Wow, very nice. My first car was a mk1 fiesta :lol: thankfully i didn't have to suffer the embarasment for too long as i destroyed it by showing off with one too many wheel spins. After nearly ten years of not getting caught though i decided to stop driving till i sort out my licence :fresh: .

    I forgot all about this thread untill i saw it again today :lol:

    Well since i last posted my car, alot has changed. I finally got the turbo lump fitted earlier this year and have changed many things since my last pics.

    I got abit fed up with the previous wheels, so now have some different onces, which suit the look alot better. Also went for some Morette headlights instead of the angel eyes. Colour coded a few bits and pieces.

    Still loads left to do, ive got a good stash of parts awaiting painting / fitment etc.

    Oh and car is probably currently running approx 240bhp at the moment, still hoping to be going 300+ in the near future, and will be more further down the line.

    Anyway enough chit chat and heres a few pics, enjoy.

    (Please excuse the dirt, and the fact the car was wet through, it rained when i took these)

    SirGadget, thanks for the comments. Yeah i'm hoping to go all Opel in the near future, just need to get badges sorted for the wheels more than anything, getting one for the back end is no problem, just abit tricky with the wheels, but i agree does need sorting out.

    EDIT: for anyone that cares, heres the pics of when i first got her, other than the fact i'd already lowered it and put a different exhaust on lol, didn't have a pic of totally standard, though whish i had.

    Looking very nice and thank God you changed those wheels. The old ones you had were quite silly looking if the truth be told. All you need to do now is get it fully Opel'd with badges :)

    @Dano2k0: Abour the badges, a lot of Danes, as we only have Opel here of course, do it the other way around, and Vauxhall their Opel's. Funny how that works huh?;-) Anyway, great you're gonna sort it out, although I think Vauxhall logo is coolest:dance:

    PikachuDX, I love those Polos. There is something about their design I simply adore!

    I'm still with my Corsa C, that I started the topic with.. I bonked it against a garage wall after the head gasket was done the second time (for free I hasten to add!), that was a new headlamp and bent bumper/wing. EPS motor went.. refurb was £300 quid odd. Now the gear linkage is on the way out.. known issue on Corsa Cs!

    Recommendation: never buy a poxy Corsa!

    Even for Denmark thats a cheap car, and for the rest of the world it must be cheaper to get another one?...:confused:

    Not that powerful but corners like its on rails and it's very torque-y.

    Nice car, although I prefer the stock bumper ;).

    What engine you got in there? I've test driven most of the engine/transmission variations just lately as I'm planning on buying one in the near future, I have my heart set on the 6 speed 3.0l twin turbo :p.
