Title: is there any differences between GTi's?
Post by: stealthy on 10 March 2008, 22:36

A mate of mine seems adament that there are some significant differences between the earlier mk4 GTi 1.8T ie 99 and 2000, to the later 1.8T of >2001

is he right or is the only difference the standard wheels and maybe a few optional extras?
