whats the spec? looks good mate but the front window gives it away???   to what it isnt

[VeeDubGTI16v]

i didnt think they made 16v's with the quarter windows at the front? what year is it?

[marcogolfo]

hmmmm she better be a real GTI 16valver because
thats what it says on the log book and thats what i bought her as lol.
If someone could check this for me it would be much appreciated coz you've scared me now
She was born in January 1987, one of the 1st 16v on a D reg, she used to be oak green but some muppet has decided that black looked better, nevermind, i'd just have been happier not knowing that she used to be this colour.  As for spec, she's just lowered 40mm, big bumpers,smoked lights, race pedals, alloy gear nob etc  everything else is standard except for the wheels.  Damn drivers seat isn't a recaro though someones replaced it with a crap seat  Gotta get me a seat but how do you go about finding one on its own?

or ring round a few VW breakers yards - u can find lisitings in the back of Performance VW mag

dont worry i think they came out '86


sorry to worry you

If you're at all worried about what it is why not ring up customer services at VW HQ in Milton keynes. I'm sure if you quote them the VIN number (on the V5 document) they will be able to confirm what it was when it left the factory. Regards, yt.
