If the car has an aierel on the roof in a bee sting stylee, then chances are it was a 16v, if the aierel is on the wing, its an 8v :cool:
The run out 8v has a bee sting mate.

You sure?

Even if thats the case I'd put big money on at least 95% of mk2's with bee stings are valvers.

Yeah, I was just being a  :nerd:

It probably depends on what shells were available in the factory, VW probably had more 16v shells available than orders for thm, so many 8v GTIs got the bestings as well.
