Yes it is standard in those pics, ok the grill badge and no rear spoiler but that was before a lot of the changes.


How can you say this is not standard please.

BB where are you lol! I'm sure it's completely standard pics you're after isn't it? As the whole site is going to be one huge database of MK3 Golfs, of all the models, and how they were when they were first out...that right?

Nice, you used my pics, I'm famous. I will say one of the pics from the rear you got of mine has the GTI rear lights I put on, dunno if you noticed that or not?

Also are you able to change the top banner because I could make you a banner at some point if you wanted?

What does PCD mean?

PCD stands for (pitch circle diameter), this is the diameter of a circle drawn through the centre of your wheel's bolt holes. PCD is measured in millimetres and also indicates the number of studs or bolts the wheel will have. The most common fitment has 4 studs with a PCD of 100mm, hence the fitment 4x100.

What does OFFSET (et) mean?

Your car requires a unique offset. This is where the wheel will sit in relation to the bodyline of the vehicle, realistically you can go 5-7mm outside these recommendations. Offset is usually stamped on the wheel and is measured in millimetres of et (et is the short form of the German word 'Einpresstiefe' which literally translates as insertion depth).

If you disagree with any of the fitments please reply in this thread and I will ammend as needed  :wink:

Heated door mirrors on a 96 8v GTI? That's new to me, how and when do these work as obviously there are no physical switchs on the dash or drivers door?
Also it says that the same model car came with front foglights as standard, mine didnt as i had to fit them myself.  :huh:

Hey BB my concept doesnt have fog's either !

according to my vw source all concepts should have fogs.... although knowing vw in the 90's the spec lists are only what vw say they fit but not what they actually did fit (it depends on what they had in the factory)

I must update the site at some point too?

Looks good, however the anni page wheel specs you have wrong, if I'm right?,

The mk3 anni came with bbs rs771, which were 7j wide

bbs rs772 were 6.5j wide, which if I'm right were not put on any mk3 anni. And if they did you have it down as 722, it should be 772

but again I'm sure they were bbs rs771 that were on mk3 anni
