Hello, welcome to UK-Polos!

V-plate cars are the earliest of the GTi's I think. The engines are all 125bhp 1.6-litre powerplants, ARC engine codes. Later cars, around the 51-plate, were AVY engines, I think they were modified to comply with EU emissions regulations? But in the purest sense, all factory-standard Polo GTis are 1.6-litre 125bhp cars :wink:

The early cars, V and W plates, are known as "pre-alignment" so the equipment spec can be different on them. Just little things, like some cars have red seat belts, others have black ones. Some have manula air conditioning (like mine) and others have Climatronic climate control :)

Anything else you need to know, just holler :wink:

Cheers

I've got Climatronic, Red Seatbelts and an AVY Engine.

Mine was delivered to the dealer on 26/01/2001 according to my service book and is an X Reg :D

All-red GTi badges? I've seen them on some GTis too, I thought they were teh badges fitted to European GTis? Check out the history of the car perhpas, it might tell you in there?

I quite like the all-red GTi badges actually, a nice touch. Different ;)
