PoloTurbo is infamous around these parts
Wow

It puts your 997 to shame. Great upgrade.

Love that your removing the side skirts and putting ruf wheels.
Those wheels don't match the car.

Enjoy.

Reading more about the turbo R after your post.

Beautiful and very well done car. It's a good job that you are removing the side skirts/wheels as they had to go.

However with no offense, I have a question. I acutally considered buying that car too but the paint on the bumpers is slightly off which held me back and would have bothered me down the road. So are you planning on getting them re-done too or is it more pronounced in the pictures?

None the less Lovely car.

none taken

no offemse taken, you are correct paint wise IMO car could have been better done but one I replace the wing (with nonse turbo S wing) and remove side skirts and paint to fix I think it will really help.. front and rear bumper not to bad... there was a LOT of body work done on this car if you factor the s air intakes and shaved rain gutters (thats a bigger job then many think).... plus you have the bumpers front and rear etc...

all in all I think it was be good once I go through it....but your correct in your comments. But given how special of a car it is, being a 1998, low miles, a actual full new engine built by RUF not a turbo'd engine tweaked, RWD, all the goodies etc...etc...
