My New (Old) Golf Gti 16v
Discussion
Hi All
Been on the forum for some time now admiring everyones cars and the friendly banter and thought it was about time i showed my car.
I got it about 3 months ago and its a peach, full history folder with everything from the original bill of sale and brochure as well as every part and sundry item receipt.
Future plans are to take it on a few track days and eventually get it too the ring as well as use it as my everyday driver, i am getting the wheels refurbished in gold paint and having the lips diamond cut next week and i am also after some schroth harnesses.

I've got to say I prefer the Bbig bumper models as they look chunkier, however the small bumpers will be better suited for a ring trip as they incorporate brake cooling ducts, which the big bumpers do not have. Being a G reg, I'm guessing you have the optimal setup of 256mm discs and cooling ducts? It's the preffered choice of car for the GTI championship for this reason. Otherwise it's cool running feeble brakes or strong overheating ones!
What can one say, a pristine example of such a classic hot hatch dude its out of its face clean. Still on the fence as to the bumpers tho, i got a big bumper mk2 GTi in black and i like it but yours looks sweet with the factory bumpers prob best the way it is. But big up your car man its the nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers for all the kind words.
after having a big bumper i am definitely a convert to the small bumpers.
the leather is spec'd on the original bill or receipt when it first left the dealership.
i have just got back from a audi inspired trip and purchased these: only 8.5kg direct bore and only need a re pitch and insert and job done.
Also not in major need but will be having a refurb any ideas on what finishes to go for?
Ps: please ignore the weighing scales and the weeds!
