Picked up this little lady today. '97 GTi 16v with Recaro interior (been told its some kind of upgrade) and just nudged 100k miles. Absolutely loving it - feels like a mix between my Leon and my old MK2 (would make sense!)

Needs a dam good clean up and some adjusments to the exhaust to get it to sit perfectly level (not sure whats going on there - looks fine from certain angles and then squinty from other angles :confounded:) but is in pretty good nick otherwise. Well get proper photos up when its presentable :grinning:

Not my cup of tea, not found of the older car era, but looks clean and tidy. Health to drive.

Looking good chap, are the back lenses tinted?

Always had a soft spot for mk3 golfs.

I'm sure ill upgrade the suspension and get something BBS related under the arches but thats a long way off... thankfully 15in 5x100's seem to go cheap

Don't think the lights are tinted, no signs of it anyway. Prob just look dark on the silver.

Sorry Marc :party::oops:

Not bad coog - take some advice from the dubs thread and this will look awesome very easily!

Same colour as mine. Mine is a lot more rusty though and not a gti. Looks in great nick. One thing I never like bout the mk3 gtis was the plastic round the arches.
