whats peoples thoughts on this 16v gti???

I thought all valvers had beestings, and 8vs had the wing aerial.

Looks proper tidy, wouldn't pay a penny over £4k for it though, personally.

does look really good esp in  the flesh, would it bother people about the slightly scuffed bumpers, i have spoken to the guy and he says he will swap them for me if i pay for them and the spraying of the front one....only if i pay the aking price...

At his asking price I would expect as near perfection as you can get.... Did notice the front bumper did look a bit bent... The cars 20 year old ALWAYS bear that in mind...

You maybe right but as I say I thought these were post 90 items - could be this was one of the first....

Seats are an addition as the door cards don't match the rainbow interior as I "think" raindows had the red stripe cards...

Has it got central locking? Should have as it dont have ellecy windows, mirrors or door speakers (Which I would want to be adding at a later date £300.00 would buy all these!!)... but does have the door bellows between A pillar and doors...

the guy seems to think all are original....alhough  like i say i am no expert
what do you mean about the  door bellows..and yes it does have central locking.

where the wires go between the a pillar and the door.. 5th pic between the door hinges

Bumpers are like Tits... They sag over the years...

They look orginal but its hard to see from the pics.. But still at 4K I would have expected them to be re-painted when the car was done...

What does that mean??
easier to do leccy windows and stuff

tbh i am not bothered too much about leccy windows i just want to know it is right and not some misssmatch, i have an 11 plate  a4 black edition for luxury!!!

Let me know what you think!!

[X4MGS]

Have to say that's REALLY one tidy car....

Interior is superb... Parcel Shelf nice and straight... Both are some of the best I've seen...

It really is a NICE looking car... Just a pity about the bent front bumper...

£4K would still be my limit... and not a penny more... with the front bumper sorted...

Have you driven it yet?

IMO

[mojo555]

Yes had a few miles in it, not driven one before but it did feel very good for a car of this age.

It looks a nice, tidy, honest example in the pictures.

It looks to be exactly the same spec as mine when I got it. Rainbow seats, manual windows, no door speakers and a bee sting. It should have a bung in the aerial hole in the n/s wing. I can't make it out on the photos, so it may have been deleted. If it has, the wing will have been painted. Why?

The modernish cd player looks a bit out of place so would need changing for something more retro.

I would say that £4000 was all it's money, but no doubt there will be someone out there who will be happy to pay the full price for it. It would be a pity to miss out on it for £600. These cars don't come along very often.

I might of missed something, as i've not read all the posts, but those bumpers aren't original.
Big bumpers didn't come in till 1990.
Has someone already said that?
