mk3 golf gti 16v
« on: 09 July 2011, 11:35 »
Hi all, am new to this site. I have a 1995 mk3 golf gti 16v and was thinking about doing an engine swap, perhaps the 1.8T engine. Has anyone done this or got any info on the costs etc. many thanks

He' probably won't post in here again now he has said hello.

They are just standard mk2 BBS RA's.  They were colour matched and polished.
