I don't think the base spec cars have the extra wiring.

Yeah I remember someone putting a loom in for them. The loom is plug and play though.

None of the lower spec cars have the wiring for the electric windows, its not hard to wire them in and its all plug and play.

No you will need a headlight loom from a GTI spec car, very easy to change though.

Not all GTI's (even the late ones) came with front foglights for some odd reason, my last 97 8v didn't. Doddle to fit though.

Car loom goes from fusebox to both A pillars then runs down the passengers side of the car to the central locking pump in the boot.

5dr cars have extra wiring to the B pillars for the rear windows.


Early and late cars have different looms.

I have had to 1.8 se one 96 and the other 97 and both had it in if you look at the spec of the se it's pretty much the same as the GTI:
Drivers adjustable Seat
Trim
Silver dials
Electric windows so on
The only difference I found was it is a SPI and a 1.8

You've forgotten suspension, anti-roll bars, brakes, exhaust system, Wheels.
Standard GTI's didn't come with silver clocks like the SE, only the Anniversary models.
Did SE's come with tinted glass?

So your saying the looms may be there ? I'll have a door card off to check or is there a better
Way to check ?

They will not be there......

To get the loom out things I remove are, lower dash trim, glovebox, clocks, centre console.
