mk3 boffs help needed ASAP
« on: 03 May 2006, 20:32 »
hi guys a friend is looking for a mk3 colour concept and we have seen one on ebay but the seller is listing it as a 16v colour concept on a R reg.  as far as i know they never made one but when i data checked the reg number on the rac it is coming up as a 16v gti.

the car has the colour concept leather, wheels, dials and bumper trim badge.  does anyone know if a 16v was made? or is this a 16v with colour concept trimming placed on after market?  help needed ASAP any help would be appreciated

Definitely a phoney. The speedo only goes to 140 (should be 160 on a valver)

I'm almost 100% sure they only did 8v colour concept.

I had some clown try the same thing with me and as soon as i looked under the bonnet I knew he was lying.

Ask the seller for a photo of the engine bay that way you'll know for sure.

Hope this helps

it must've had the engine replaced, ask him for the engine number, then do a rac check, or, take the registration number of the e-bay pics and do an insurance check and when you put the vehicles details in, it should come up with the make and model automatically... :wink:

yeah I saw that one - and I thought the CCs only came as 8v over here. An engine swap is the most likely, and dont let that put you off, it could be a good thing if you're like the mass majority of mk3 8v bashers on here  :wink:

Of course as long as the swap has been done properly  :rolleyes:

No need, the seller has revised the item saying that DVLA had it registered as 16v but on further inspection it's an 8v :cry:
