Thanks everyone the rear badge says gti 16v. The original alloys need a really good refurb. I like the alloys just sets it apart. Other than the oval tail pipe which will be changed for a twin original looking one the alloys are the only after market parts. No nasty speaker holes in parcel shelf either. Engine is all original might put an induction kit on just for abit of a throatier engine note. Not to interested in more speed. Just want to keep it as original as it is

Dont bother with induction kit!

Just get a K&N panel filter and fit a cold air feed.

Was reading a thread about fitting a cold air feed seems simple enough so think I will give that a go.

You can also take the warm air feed crap out of the bottom of the airbox and seal that hole.

Thanks for the advice. Think I'll tackle those few jobs when the weather picks up. Is there any noticeable differences when those 2 things are done?

nice car man, looks well clean. Makes my car look even worse that I thought  :grin:
If I'm against picketing, how do I show it?
