hi jv found that so looks like it is a fire and ice didnt realise they did them as a 1.8 carb, however its the recaro interior being electric so I am told thought they we all manual operated.. any way cant wait to see it
-
never seen recaro's in that mental trim!
-
well me neither would be a result if it is thinking about re registaring the car for the uk any ideas how you do it and cost
-
expect you have to take it for a VIC check and stuff like tht then get a v5 produced for it? the vic check was about £38.. not sure what else might be involved though so dont quote me on that even^^ sorry robin :smiley:
try www.direct.gov ? theres the sect on there for motoring..

Is it on German plates at the moment? If so, you need to make sure you get the Fahrzugbrief and Fahrzuglange documents from the vendor. These are the documents which are the equivalent of our V5C. You then need to get a UK MOT for it (might need to swap out the rear lights for ones with the fog light on the right side, but that's it - the KPH speedo is perfectly legal.
You then insure it using the VIN number. Then you need to take the German registration documents, UK MOT and VIN-based insurance to a DVLA office, where you fill in a form pay about £40 and they take all of the documents from you, for processing, which might take a couple of days. You'll then be able to collect the documents from the DVLA, or have them sent to you. At this point you'll get the age-related registration and a certificate of registration, which is a temporary document. Your V5C will come in the post in the weeks after this. If there are any concerns about the vehicle they do reserve the right to ask you to present it to them, but this has never happened to me.
I've done this a few times and it's always been easy to do and the people in the DVLA offices have always been very helpful.

i was thinking of bidding for this but i am to far away to go and collect it, it looks too dark for fire and ice but i might be wrong, it also looks like the sun roof has been added i dont think it is a vw one .
its on polish plate if i am not mistaken

Weird. Looks like LC3U paint.
If it is Fire and Ice, the decals are gone. We need interior pics!

right seen the car today and never believe what your told.
colour is purple no paint code in the boot
yes your right a wonderful aftermarket glass sunroof has been fitted (not re-registaring)
engine is a 1.8 mk3 single point injection
interior is a right miss match.
front door cards edition one (on ebay tomorrow)
rear doorcards late spec dark grey with three red stripes
seats standard early spec mk2 golf recaros front matching rear bench (on ebay tomorrow
carpet black
headlining black grey (imagine if the aftermarket sunroof hadnt been fitted never seen a dark grey gti headlinning with no sunroof before.
best picture of the colour I could do was this one, plan is to stick a driver interior in it and steels and trade it on to a guy we know who imports them back
