That was going to be my next post! we're just replicating something else!

Haha! At least it's not as bad as doing the fastest/most expensive model replica on the lowest diesel!

You don't see many replicas these days. Back in the 80's and 90's, Auto trader was full of XR3i's dressed up as RS Turbos and XR4i's dressed up as Cosworths.
In that time in history due to car crime I took the arches, front spoiler and badges off my mk1 GTI and fitted badges from a Golf GLS.  :grin:

Had an XR3 not the i version due to the insurance premiums you couldn't give them away!

I had the mk1 GTI then, I use to lol when I spotted a mk2 GTI 8v on the road as I knew the owner was paying at least 3 times the insurance I was. :grin: Oddly mk1 GTIs weren't effected by the huge insurance hike for some reason. Probably as they did not have the YUPPIE image the mk2 had.

Never ever got a shot in a MK1 golf, they reckon they were rapid! Then along came the Pug's. They said that 1.9 gti thing was even more rapid!
