At least if you bump a panel, you can just go to the scrappies and get a replacement, you don't have to care about the colour so no expensive respraying costs!

I happen to read about it the other day......apparently it was something along the lines of......VW did one as a special show car/to show the colours available or something along those lines....

Anyway, people wanted them and the demand was so great that it warranted them doing a small production run or something....

Something like that anyway

camk,

Its funny you say that... I once had an old Ford that had panels that were all different colours...

can't believe that VW thought that cars should be made like that new !!

Can't imagine that they are easy to shift on once you want to sell it..

Actually, I think according to Parkers there may be a small premium for the Harlequin over a standard Polo! I can't remember exactly as I wasnt really that interested.......

I think, if I'm right, it to do with the fact that there arent very many about........

Cool

LOL JonMorris

I dare someone to actually go into Halfords and ask for a touch up stick for one of these.

Also, I wonder what you would do if you wanted to add a bodykit ?

Maybe I should just say my Scoob is an Impreza Harliquin...

After all, there are enough shades of green on it
