Thanks mate. It does need lowering and new dampers, as the standard set up it has at the moment seems to have so much body roll! Think that's more of an ARB jobby to be honest but don't even know if GTi ARBs will fit as it's a 1.3......

Fitted a black badge after work yesterday, but I'm really not sure if I like it or if I prefer the old silver badge, which tbh is in pretty good condition so does look good.

Depends what look you're after, it adds to the GTI look if thats what you're after but if you prefer silver then stick with it, its your car.  :cool:  I think it looks good like that now with the bumper and grille..................

Did 16v's have these fitted as standard? I am after making it look like a 16v tbh although I'll never badge it up as one I don't think.

I did think about it but I want it to look like a GTi, not pretend to be one, and there's a massive difference.

I'll probably stick with it for the time being and see how I feel about it in a few weeks.

I suppose I was wrong to say I wanted it to look like a 16v lol, makes it sound like I'll be upset if I forget to have an ariel put in the rear centre of the roof etc.
I mentioned it to my older brother who had a 16v about 16 years ago and he said he doesn't think they did so no idea.

That's interesting mate. Was just looking on eBay at GTi's and found this. Made me realise how much like a GTi my car actually looks now!

Beautiful car and only 10miles from where I live........... If only!!!!!
