I wouldn't say that but if might be worth investing in a Japanese language course if you're really adamant on getting one for your car.

Prob worth the investment as it came with aircon, recaro seats, lower suspension, strut brace,cup holders........

Oh really, is the suspension lower than a standard GTI then and is it fitted with a VW motorsport strut brace?

I suspect it was a Vortex option at the time.

Is cloth battery cover that rare? I got one on mine.

The Jap spec Golfs do look interesting.  :smiley:

Got the price down to €1000 euro...was only buying it for parts as it was a five door 16v in silver which is rare as f@ck here...only 2 pics in the ad which did it no justice....turned out to be immaculate...all the extras and no rust so selling my older one instead...took a few more pics can put them up if u like

I wouldn't say they were, both of my last mk3's had them.
