Light looks good enough
So you know when youâre just walking and suddenly a Pole just randomly hits you?
Yeah now imagine that but youâre doing 15km/h in reverse in a car and the P isnât capitalized.
Yeah I did that.
Thereâs bit of a dent now.
Anyway! I was mildly annoyed by the Polo badge now being all messed up. Itâs not even straight anymore! Blasphemy!!!
So I decided to hire a professional to do a professional debadge.
I am a professional.
I am the professional.
It went great!
Fuck yeah, I am a professional!!
I gotta admit, the first two pictures really look like I am doing great. Then I started spray painting during the rain! Some people will say that you shouldnât spray paint on top of wet primer during the rain. But I am not one of those people. I say fuck it! We ball. And if you donât look at it, it looks really good.
So please, contact me for professional debadging services.

Iâd either have to find some enemies first, or people Iâd like to be my enemies 
So, to open the trunk I need to press the trunk button and then pull it open from the wiper. Thereâs nowhere to grab thanks to the car being shit.
âŚUNTIL NOW!!!
I installed a handle. Initially the budget was 0âŹ. I tried asking if my friends had spare door handles or shit. No one did. So I had to raise the budget slightly. I paid 4,99⏠for that and borrowed the screws from my aunt.
When you couple the handle to the professional paintjob and the luxuriously tinted taillight, I think it looks really good!
I was planning on getting an entirely new trunk but I think this adds street cred. I mean, you wouldnât fuck with someone driving a car like this. You already know I have nothing to lose. You wanna hit me? Fucking go ahead baby, Iâll be swimming in the insurance money like Scrooge McFuckingDuck !!!
Also obligatory polio pic
I kinda want to get mercedes badges for it.
Any questions?

Are the rims 14â? You should get some W123 hubcaps to complement the Mercedes badges then, for maximum silliness.

Oooh I should! I currently have 14" Citroen hubcaps but Iâve been too lazy to install them.
14 inch rims??!??
One gotta think about the fact there is no modern VW that would go that small. Letâs say that modern would be something 15 years old or younger.
And then realize that W123, smallest Mercedes of itâs time, was still mid-sized premium sedan.
Quite a reminder on how generally bigger cars nowadays end being compared to past

The Polo hatchback was sold with 13 inch rims all the way to the 2000s. Speaking of which, I need new summer tires so Iâve been looking at 13inch trailer tires. Theyâre cheap and theyâd fit.

2001 VW Polo Variant, as interesting as paying the taxes. Bumper from Seat Cordoba
It has the same 1.4L 60hp engine but itâs the Firstline trim so it has cool seats.
Love the speedo, to be honest
Radioâs gone
It has no rust at all, it has the sport chassis so itâs pretty good to drive. Hasnât been inspected since 2016. Will try to get it back on the road and then sell the '99 Polo.
I picked it up from over 500km away, drove less than 30 minutes and the alternator shat itself. I pushed it to a truck stop and messaged the seller. He was literally the sweetest person ever, he drove over to the truck stop, brought a new alternator and installed it with me without asking for anything in return 
. He just said âI sold you a working car, Iâm gonna give you a working car.â He was an awesome fellow, I promised to drive over to him and buy the old girl a set of summer tires in exchange of his help.
So thatâs all there really is. Any questions about this German piece of mediocrity?

How big would the Nitrous Oxide tank need to be, to reach 220 kph with that engine?
150-200hp?

Today, I wanted to go to the store. I turn the car on, and then began clearing the snow off.
Much to my surprise, both of my taillights were completely dark. A couple of firm slaps fixed the passenger. Now, the driver sideâŚ
That required a bit more force.
Unfortunately, I gave it a bit too much force.
It still doesnât work but now itâs also in pieces.

Itâs a sign it wants tinted taillights

âIt looks like an used car dealershipâ - My landlord
Anyway I had to fix the taillight! And I donât plan on spending any money. So I went through my bottle bag and got an empty 1,5L plastic bottle.
I cut a part of it out and glued it to the taillight with some plastic glue!
All that was left was to paint it red. As you can see it looks like brand new.
I already had the spray paint and the glue so all this cost me was 40 cents since thatâs what I wouldâve gotten by returning the 1,5L plastic bottle.

Heâs wrong. The point with used car dealership is to sell cars. Why would you fill an used car dealership with cars no sane person would even take for free?

I thought about selling the rallypolo, unfortunately the situation is that itâs worth like 500 no matter what. 10 months of inspection left? 500. 3 months of inspection left? Still 500. So I was planning on waiting till it has 3 months of inspection left and then selling it.

Considering your car count now, will it just end up costing you when it breaks within the next 7 months anyway? 500 now while its working might be better than 300 later unless you enjoy using it over the other cars.
You raise a solid point. However I donât think itâs going to break down which is why Iâm confident in using it. The 1.4 MPI is generally speaking a solid engine. The biggest issues this car has was an oil leak. I fixed that. As well as a coolant leak. Iâve just been adding more coolant.
When it comes to enjoyment, eeehhhh⌠The suspension is really soft and itâs not really exciting at all. It drives like a car. Itâs great for driving to work and back but thatâs pretty much all there is.
So! In order to fix the taillight, I obviously had to remove it. When I put it back, I didnât actually screw it back on. I also found out, this piece is fucked.
And I need to replace it, the blinker doesnât work until I do that. Even after I replaced the bulb and sprayed fuck ton of toxins on it. So my thinking was, the taillight will stay there and I will attach the screws once I have replaced that part.
So that didnât work out. It often looks like this if I make a too fast turn. So I have two choices. I make slower turns, or I screw the taillight back on.
I have lost the screws.
Instead I found some duct tape!
Looks brand new, eh! I think itâs consistent with the trunk.
Unfortunately in Finland sunlight is merely a myth and doesnât actually exist, so these are the best pics youâll get.
Contact me for this madness or something. Iâm living the dream. Iâve got an old Polio thatâs being held together by zip ties and duct tape.

You know what I hate? People not realizing how wealthy millionaire Mercedes man I am.
I had to do something about it! Introducing my new 1999 Mercedes-Benz P140
Powered by a 60hp 1.4L inline 4. More commonly seen on older VW group cars. What a coincidence.
This one also has racing stripes.
So any questions about the P140?
