MK3 Polo Coupe  , Got it cheap as it was stolen from the previous owner and by the time he paid for recovery and storage fees and then the damage it was going to cost him around £500. So he said to just scrap it 
Which is how I got it cheap, my dad works for the recovery firm so he can get cars cheap from them.
How they got in,
Then they did this,
Then they crashed it,
and left it.
We got it home and started to fix it. Got some clear indicators to start it off and a window.
Bought some cleaning stuff off Rich H on here (top service!) and went out in the freezing cold today and cleaned it as it was looking pink 
Only got a couple crappy pics,
 ]
Nice and shiny 
My dads job for this weekend is to sort out the wiring, the muppets that stole made a right mess nothing electrical works at all!
Should have some updates in a bit

Diid I? I never even came close to owning a Corsa The dream will live on 
Cheers, not bad for a first cleaning session , I was never really taken by them tbh, my dad told me one came in and it was being scrapped so I just took it. Glad I did though, really like it!

I'd like to get it done but theres a recess on these for the number plate so would need to get it smoothed. Things like that will hopefully start happening after christmas

Would probably go for black or same colour as the car
I wonder could you get 8J wide all round on it? Hmm.. That white one is 7J all round I think.
