Most GTIs have Climate Control, the earliest of GTis had A/C, as well as normally being satin silver rather then reflex silver, as well as a few other changes I think

Nice looking polo! Looks tidy. love the silvers
Look forward to seeing more photos and updates

Cheers everyone

i had to go from exeter to birmingham to get it, next buy will be coilovers when i can afford and find some good ones, last time on my 6ns i had crap 150 quid ones, anyone know of any good makes and a place to buy them?

Oh and Verity i read your whole thread on the train on the way to pick up the polo

Cheeky early gti, noice.!

Best place for parts like that is venom Motorsport they are excellent mate, give them a ring they will help you out.

I'd go for ap coilys at around £400 quid younger the best of both worlds.....

Yeah Venom Motorsport are really good, decent prices and quick delivery

You could push the boat out by spending an extra £100 and get Venom's "own brand" coilovers produced by SPAX

500 sheets but they are fully adjustable as in ride height and damping settings.

Welcome along mate, your another SWDubster aren't you?

On the coilover discussion i've been rocking a cheap set of JOM's from ebay for almost 18 months now, without a single problem. If moneys tight etc....
