As part of our ongoing commitment to bush design and excellence Polybush work closely with Glyndwr University on a daily basis, so it seemed only right to work with them at Autosport 2012. 
Performance Car Technology students from Glyndwr University took a standard road car and over the 4 days of the show prepared the car for the 2012 Production GTI Championship. 

Polybush are delighted to be supporting the Production GTI Championship for a second series and were so happy with the way last years series went we decided to take it one step further!

The Golf MK2 prepared live at the show and the car will go on to be raced by the Glyndwr Students in the 2012 Championship proving that motor racing is a sport for all levels of experience and budgets.  
With the full range of VW Polybush and a range of parts from kind sponsors Safety Devices, Fast Road Conversions, Corbeau, Luke, Saxon Motorsport, Hel, Spax & Demon Tweeks along with many others we completed our task.

Thanks to all of you for visiting our stand and helping to make the show a huge success.
