From the seller: “It started out as a normal 8V GTi and over the years my friend added a number of aftermarket modifications such as smoked rear lights, different wheels, tinted windows, different side repeaters etc. All these modifications were probably the in thing at the time but I wanted the car to look standard. Since my ownership I have purchased/fitted all the original rear lights, side repeaters, front indicators, original grill, G60 steel wheels with wheel spacers and removed the tints.
The car seemed a little bit spongy when I test drove it so I had a brand new full set of KW Variant 2 adjustable coil overs installed (These cost £1300 new). I would have probably fitted power steering to it at some point as well but that is down to personal preference. The car has an alarm fitted but I have never used it. I always use the key to unlock it.
The engine was installed by the previous owner and his VW mechanic friend probably 2-3 years prior to me purchasing. I believe the car was dyon’d and setup but I do not know how much power it runs as he has not kept the receipt.”
