Cant believe that someones spent over £3500 on making a GTI Lookalike!

You'll probably find this guy has done it because of the prang he had in it.

It's more than likely he's had a settlement from the insurance company and instead of replacing OE parts, he's gone down the GTI replica route - at the time, the cost of upgrading to GTI parts over the standard 1.4 parts wasn't too much.

The cost of the transformation was probably £3500, with the insurance company probably donating £2750 of it....

Good thinking! That makes sense.

actually guys,

i've done the same thing to my 1.6.

Tho, i've not got the carbon fibre bonnet, or the nasty aftermarket alloys, i went for a set of genuine 18inch Monzas.

anyway, i doubt it actually cost him that much to do it.

my car cost just under £1k to do everything in total, so i reckon the guy is bullsh***** abt the cost to try and jack up the price.

Why would you do this?

[G197]

^^

why does any1 do anything to their cars?

i didn't like the look of it as standard, so jus changed the front bumper.

insurance prevents mne from the real deal for the time being.

i can understand why someone would want to change the looks of a car to make it look like a newer model.

take a look at the peugeot i have....what it looked like when i got it, to what it looks like now.




.....now tell me that doesnt look better?

I hate the fact that he's got a GTI badge on it!!!!!!!!!!

I reminds me of when i used to kick around in my Type R, one of the local lads had Type R badges all over his 1.6 Sport!  why oh why!?!?!

i reckon your talking this down so that you can buy it cheaper lol

I like the bit about fitting a GTi exhaust gives you much more power, I wonder how much?   from 100 to 200bhp perhaps?  lol

Maybe theres a GTi somehwere with all of those bits missing
