    Well folks, Mrs daved wants a 6N2 Polo GTI, but we don't know what to look for.

    We were already in Ireland when they were launched in the UK.
    We never got them over here, but, for some stupid reason, we got the, much too small, Lupo GTI.
    In Eire the Lupo GTI cost 30% more than in the UK. Rip off Ireland is spot on.

    So.

    All of the cars we have checked out are Red, Black or Silver.
    Were there any White ones?

    The only interior cloth holstery colour appears to Grey with Red trim.
    Were there bo black cloth interiors?

    Thank you so much for looking,
    DaveD.

    Hello, there wasn't any white ones and only interior was black/grey with red number 1s on. Black, red and reflex silver are the only colours. Awesome cars! 6n2s are lovely looking dubs!

    Not sure about white, but they do come with a dark grey/black leather which is nice( our last one had this.
    When you get one, strip the sump off and clean out the oil pickup pipe. These are prone to clogging on the 1.4/1.6 16v engines. Usually starves the top end and seizes the head( had this on the last one too lol)

    Oh yeah, chocolate boxes.
    Done a few of these, they lose preload and spit out teeth. There's a myth going about that you can get updated taper roller bearings. Bol x. A taper roller is a taper roller, just make sure it's got a brand! Lower selector shaft seals leak often.
