Some new parts
Got some parts for the polo from Bedlams, the shop that imported them in the 1980's.
Some of the stuff I possibly don't need but when you have got a scooter as obscure as a polo it doesn't do any harm to get what you can.
I got a pair of side panels (mint), a horncast (mint), a front mudguard (mint), a speedo (new), a headlight unit (new) and a rear light unit (new).
I will have to use the panels and the front mudguard to restore my polo and I will probably use the rest while I am at it.
I am in two minds whether to keep the indicators. I would like to because they will be a challenge to set up but the way they are fitted does not comply with the UK laws so I might struggle to get the scooter through the MOT test. I will have to chat to my local MOT tester to see where I stand.
