Its got a magnex stainless system and decat but other than that its std, Im going to fit the coilovers because I dont like the huge gap between the wheel and the arch  :sad:  But Ive had them for 5 weeks and still not fitted them!! because I want to keep it std and its got 4 new shocks!!!

It appears to have a 16 valve rear badge on  :evil:

Looks in lovely condition...the correct number of doors too.

My first Mk3 was a 1993, K plate 8v too, in silver....from back in the day when sunroofs were standard, Le Mans wheels standard and no front foglights.

It also has the DEEP front spoiler...not a VR6 spoiler...but the early deep version.

Crackin' looking GTI  :smiley:

And don't call it a splitter or people will start exploding...
I'd love to say keep it the way it is but those arch gaps are cruel and the mk3 deserves better..

Fit the coilovers then leave it alone! The car looks so original and it's all the better for it!

That looks in fantastic condition.

still got the original radio in it too which is hard to come by in such an early model.
