« on: 20 March 2006, 16:34 »
Hi

I want to buy a 1.8 mk4 gti. Looking online it seems the have a wood surround as standard. Is this on all of them and if so does anyone know if you can get a replacement one - aluminium or black - anything but the wood finish!!!

NAAAASTY isnt it?! lol i got rid of mines... you can get replacements but they are expensive, if you want the original aluminuim ones their off a golf anniverary or r32 and cost roughly £140? just for the centre consol part not inc door handles, ash tray etc. There are a few people who do these stick on aluminuim look kit for around £40-50 on ebay.

sounds like a pain in the arse to be honest - ive noticed the V5 doesnt have any crappy wood trim - is the 1.8 Gti better or worse than the V5 - i know theres about 20bhp difference but dont know any more about it. - Any help would be good, cheers.

The 1.8t is far more tuneable

1.8 T everytime. Don't forget than you can get standard (non-anniversary) 180 turbos as well as the 150's. Depending on which 150 we're talking about, then 220ish bhp is available for £400-£500! :cool:

You'd have to remortgage to get that much power out of a V5! :grin:
