It will cost you more to have the grill put on and will lose your car value at trade in. The difference would be better spent buying and insuring a proper GTI! :nerd:

it does fit with a bit of fiddling around, but then you have to insure the standard golf as 'modified' otherwise if you have an accident and you don't tell the insurance company you have a whopping non standard bumper on the front, they will invalidate your policy and you will be liable for any damage you might have caused to other cars or people.
Buy a GTI, as a modified golf will be hard to sell too.  Or you could buy a GT TDI, cheaper to insure to and still loads of torque and power.  :evil:

at 17 you've got 2 chances of a decent quote for insurance on a GTI

No hope and Bob Hope!!

Best bet is to get a cheaper car and rack up your NCBs

Wow... kids today.  My first car was a Citroen AX GT... nowadays they want brand new Golf GTi's.... god I feel old now.  :smiley:

As an aside, where the hell did you find an 07 GTi for £14,995???  Surely you mean an 05 GTi for that sort of price?

I think you can only get the gti in white so you'd have to respray the entire car aswell if you want a white one
