catch is 160k, so would only fetch a grand or a bit higher anyway.

some marks on bumper..my guess is wont be too mint in the flesh, but thats what you get i suppose with those sort of miles.. worth more in bits but still too nice to break.. its gotta be worth at least 1k i reakon

It looks to be all the same colour (which is a bonus), few marks on the bumper and a fog lamp needs replacing. Its been cleaned well, bet when its dirty the plastics are a lovely light grey!!

Gotta be worth £1k of anyones money.

That car is rare as hell!!! EXTREMELY rare to find an anniversary in 16v model , get it bought this instant! A well serviced ABF will last a lifetime, the guy that owns it has already done some major work on it engine wise. I'd pay upto 2k easily for that car

didnt know it was a valver..either i am blind as a bat or i cant see nothing that says its a 16v...
not sure its worth 2k tho even if it is a 16v, id have to really want a annie to pay that and as i dont think i like the seats in annies i aint really that arsed about them (i dont think anyway haha)

i would rather have the recaro trim or black leathers any day

Friend of a friend did it for me, £250 for parts and labour it cost. Still a long way to go and have suddenly developed unbelievable debt problems from nowhere (never get married, long story). Here's what she looks like at the moment. Done a few more things since but you get the idea..

(http://www.imgplace.com/directory/dir2523/3340382980.jpg)

Since, it's had new VW centre caps, new coolant bottle, HID 8000k xenon headlights and some other bits and pieces. Interior is now a full heated black leather Recaro colour concept one, have new carpets, have a leather mk4 gearknob, custom leather gear gaiter with "GTi 16v" stitched in, chrome cabrio door pulls, wolfsburg chrome door pins, red car mats and a retrimmed red roof lining. Dials are plasma backlit, switches have been chnaged to red LEDs. Just need to get hold of a leather steering wheel if I ever get some money again!
