GTI? :huh:

Sure doesn't look like one to me, other than a GTI badge and sh!t black rims  :grin:

BTW, found this looking for cars for the wifey. Not me.

It's got Gti tail lights, the only thing it's missing is the colour coded rub strips....I think!

In all fairness, with my first car (Mk3 Golf 1.4 match) I put the GTI arches, skirts, vr6 splitter, leather Recaros, badges and twin exhaust system on it. Not because I wanted people to think I had a GTI, but purely because I liked the styling, n I couldn't afford to get insured on the real thing!! :undecided: If anybody asked, I was quick to tell them it was only a 1.4!

That's fair enough sveed, tis just styling parts at the end of the day.

What I don't get is putting a GTI badge on a non-GTI, and something that is as poxy as a 1.4 MK4 :grin:

whats that got to do with a mk2 8v GTI. :huh:.  115 bhp is weak now, it was weak back in the day too when we were all rocking twin cam 16v, RS Turbos and even 16V KR Golfs

Wouldn't go that far, there's almost 20 bhp per tonne difference for a start.

Mans got a point! The lighter the car, the less bhp you need for it to have an effect!
