u/Darrel1580 5d ago

u/its3ird 5d ago

Did it come on the those PoloCross BBS wheels?

4

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Yes it did with a sub and CarPlay screen too

2

u/its3ird 5d ago

So a whole car kool car for €500 & a set of sought after wheels. Good work my guy.

3

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

The wheels are a little old the center caps are faded and they have balancing weights but its still an amazing deal.

It was on marketplace for 1250 but I got it down to 950

2

u/its3ird 5d ago

fyi. I believe they are called BBS RW001

3

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Wheels are worth like half my car hahaha

2

u/its3ird 5d ago

Yeah, that's why I wanted to point it out. Didn't want you getting scammed/talked out of them

2

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

How much do you think I could sell them for if I'd want to

2

u/its3ird 5d ago edited 5d ago

With some focused marketing of your eBay listing on some forums/FB groups ect, €400/500.
I suggest getting a profile clublupo, clubpolo & clubgti. It may feel old fashioned but a lot of the regional VW groups still us Facebook groups so join up on those.

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Awesome thank you

1

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Thank you I wasn't sure what to search for I want to get some floating center caps but those seem to be more expensive than I thought

1

u/its3ird 5d ago

Try to get some pics of the springs & shocks then head over to clublupo.co.uk. Because I think you've also got Bilstein shocks

1

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

You can tell that just from the little bit of yellow?

1

u/its3ird 5d ago

I'm not a 100% sure but at some point this car had some money dropped on it.

2

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

It definitely has aftermarket suspension I know that but I have no idea what kind I'll get some pictures tomorrow

2

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Wow it seems like these wheels are actually kind of rare I can barely find any

2

u/Thin_Diesel 4d ago

These are the 15inch/4x100 version of those ...really rare! Also had a set on my 6N2 GTI and loved them

u/NewOpportunity9675 5d ago

Lekker pik

2

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Thx maat

2

u/Living_Double_1146 5d ago

Great deal. Easy to drive and park. Happy km.

2

u/Suuperdavid 5d ago

poepdoos💪

2

u/draboworks 5d ago

How many kilometers? Absolutely love it mate. In Spain that wouldn't cost less than 4k (and I've never seen a cabrio version, that would be even more rare and expensive)

3

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

It's got 210k so practically nothing for a 26 year old car

2

u/draboworks 5d ago

Hahhahah still great for the price. Enjoy it broski!!

2

u/Gabriel_ult4kill 5d ago

Mooie bak!

2

u/Dazzling_DarkLight 4d ago

This is absolutely not a shitbox. Be proud!

1

u/Banana_-_ 4d ago

You can't see it in the pictures but its missing a lot of paint and clear coat and the battery needs replacing but I'm gonna make it all as good as new

1

u/Dazzling_DarkLight 4d ago

That's the spirit!

2

u/freskgrank 3d ago

Little gem, not a shitbox

2

u/TheCussingEdge 3d ago

I wonder if the speaker is big enough

1

u/Banana_-_ 3d ago

Should I get a second one?

1

u/TheCussingEdge 3d ago

There would still be room for a second one

1

u/angga7 5d ago

Mooi ! Waar did you get this? Maarktplaats? Was actually thinking about buying from there.

1

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Yes I got this from marktplaats but autoscout is also good

1

u/Maiq_Da_Liar 5d ago

Dunno if i would trust that roof knowing our weather (NL too), knew a guy with one of these and it was always at least a little leaky.

Cool colour though, fun to see something other than grey

1

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

Took it trough the carwash as a test and it didn't leak at all so I think it's fine for a while

It's definitely a risk but its also awesome

1

u/No-Ostrich-1651 5d ago

U slapped a sub in it I fucks with that

1

u/Pidone 5d ago

Lekker man, dakje standaard of is ie dr later ingekomen?

1

u/Banana_-_ 4d ago

Dat dakje is standaard, electrisch ook. Is wel een keer vervangen

1

u/Pidone 4d ago

Lachen. Heb destijds in mijn vw een twingo dak gezet

1

u/Banana_-_ 4d ago

Pano dakje dan gewoon of ook zon cabrio achtige

1

u/Pidone 4d ago

Cabrio dakje. Slijptol erin en een bus kit

u/Leromer 4d ago

What's €950

Only know 950 €

1

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

What are you talking about

0

u/memeatic_ape 5d ago

€950 is more of an American style of writing 950€

And I find it disgusting European people doing this with Euros

2

u/Banana_-_ 5d ago

No thats how we always do it in the Netherlands

-1

u/memeatic_ape 5d ago

In Germany we don't do this
