Hi all have just joined and have a 1984 black golf Mk2 Gti.
i have so many questions that i am slowly finding answers to.
the car i have say its registered in 1984, it has single headlights whereas all the Mk2's i have seen have got the grill lights also.
did they make them with both in the early years?
cheers

Humm could be correct. Do you have stripe stickers down the side of the car or a length of plastic trim? Also is the interior striped with thisk stripes from left to right on the seats? Is the exhuast a single exit or double?

Hey man, welcome, I'm from Pompey too, good choice in color :wink: :wink:
As far as I'm aware, they did come from factory with the quad lights, though I'm not sure if they came with the single light grills from factory, I always thought they were aftermarket grills.
-
The very very early ones (non sunroof, single pipe) seemed to come with only single lamp grills.

That washer bottle looks big was that standard on the early ones as well.

Thats a non gti later model grill for starts- Gl, Cl etc. Headlamp washers too far in so should be twin headlight grill. Correct engine though. Early K-jet, braided steel fuel lines. Later K-jet had plastic shrouding on the fuel lines. Interior is out of approx 1989 gti. Doesn't match red stripes on door cards. should be bold red and black horizontal stripes on the seats. God I'm a nerd!!!! :nerd:

You may struggle to find an early set of sets, they tend to wear really badly.

bummer, looked on ebay and there is a set of 3 dr ones that look like dan7 mentioned so will keep fingers crossed for a set to come up.
would the car have come with aircon? because when i was stripping front end today was a redundant radiator sitting in front of the normal rad with th pipe cut.

Looks like a GTI with a new front end - since it is 5 slat and not 7 slat, as the early ones should have - before the 88 spec golfs came out. You also have GTI door cards - the black and red striped ones, and a later GTI set of seats. The original seats should be black and red too. That bottle is standard fitment to all GTIs with headlamp washers, 8L, all others had 4L bottles.

If it's quite alot smaller and totally seperate from the original rad, it could be an old, redundant oil cooler? Oh, and another nerdy spot, your front indicators are clear, standard ones are bright orange!!! :lipsrsealed:
-
As said before they are 1989 or 1990 seats. if they will clean up, I have a spare set of matching door cards if you want them.
-
if it did orig have aircon the glovebox and undertrays will be tiny, unless they were also swapped at the time AC was removed.
