surely if he knew anything about cars he would be able to tell its a turbo gti by the wheels as well. I've only had mine 2 months and brought some german style plates. IMO i think they look really cool and lots of people have commented on them. Apart from that mayb get a spoiler or gti front grill bade, both fairly cheap.

If you are interested in the plates i got mine from http://www.theplateman.com/

took about 2 weeks to come tho as they are actually made in germany, think you can get them of ebay and other vw sites. Paid £30 and they are a good, cheap mod which makes the car stand out that little bit from the rest

what year is your GTI? Recaro's were standard until 2001.

sunroof was an extra

end of the day tell him where to shove it and enjoy your GTI :afro:
