Ryans Polo G40 Documentary

A few months ago I spoke to Ryan about filming his beauty of a car for documentary on how car culture brings people together and once I saw the car in person I decided to focus on just his car. So after a few weekends of filming in-between work and the horrible English weather, we got enough footage together to assemble this project. It has been a pleasure to film this car, understanding the processes and sheer time and commitment that was put into this car. This short documentary looks into just that, as Ryan talks about his car.

Man, I’ve this is a great a video. Giving me a kick to get mine out from under the dust covers and running again. Love these G40s

[@Whirlynerds]

Great job! When I was a VW mechanic I remember these first coming into the dealership, and fighting over one to do the Pre Delivery Inspection.

That is a nice example of a G40 got a 1.3 genesis myself in the same colour and even with its problems I still love it, if mine was unrepairable I'd still buy another

Good old Pack Lane! I was a passenger in an old 1981 2.8i ford granada in a race to Brighton hill and we lost the car on the bend and clipped the side of the tunnel but kept going sliding through the tunnel.............................. We won the race..... The other car went via worting road.

If its no trouble, I have a polo mk2f myself, and I just want to fit those snowflake rims with the right tyres, also are the front fog lights the same type and size as a mk2 golf if you know?
Thanks for the reply mate, much appreciated.

[@trvmedia3464]

Alexander Iskander it’s no problem! I believe he’s changed the tyres rather recently!

[@trvmedia3464]

Alexander Iskander Found out for you mate; the snowflakes are 14s and the fogs are polo spec sourced from Germany! Hope that helps!

[@alexanderiskander9621]

TrumanG
Do you remember the actual size, or what would be my options, possibly 175/55/14

[@maddog7139]

He does. The lag on the hillclimb at the end of the video is evidence of that.
