  1. I would guess they are running 4x100 to 5x120 convertors as these are Porsche alloys. GLWS, nice and clean Mk2!
  2. Part number is 6X0 253 144 D Obsolete from VW now, but google the part number and a few places come up.
  3. Erm... you do realise this a post that started in 2011?
  4. I am used to driving a GTI on coilovers and a Whiteline rear ARB, so been spoilt a bit over the years. Just managed to get a decent Pioneer double-din headunit by swapping it with a Polo a friend had in his used car stock. I'm planning on making a parcel shelf to put some rear speakers in, don't want to cut up the current shelf, and they're easy to make anyway. Got some 6x9's somewhere I used to have in my 6N Polo, that'll do for now anyway! I'll grab some pics tomo if I remember!
  5. Thanks guys! It definitely needs lowering as it handles like a boat! I'm so used to a GTI on coilovers, guess I've been spoilt over the years!
  6. I'm sure I've seen this somewhere, but does anyone know if there is a kit available to convert from HT-leads to individual coil packs on the GTI? I'm 99% sure I've seen this done, but I can't for the life of me remember where or by who! Thanks
  7. My dad and I now own a Cedar Green Lupo 1.4s, bought it from a work mate of mine. Getting the cambelt, waterpump and a small service done on her this weekend and she'll be good to go! I need to get my Up! Triangle alloys back from a mate of mine and I'll fit them to this Lupo, should look quite sweet! Ideally could do with a new N/S headlamp as it's gone cloudy, but I'll try polishing it out first.

    Radio

    Physically, it will fit, but the Polo uses the later FAKRA plugs and CANBUS to switch the radio into 'hibernation' when the car is locked. This may cause a battery drain over time as the radio will never be fully switched off. TBH, you'd be better getting an Android headunit or a decent double-din radio, far more functionality, ie, DAB, nav, bluetooth, car play etc....
  9. Steering rack bolts are 4x N 906 330 02, but these are obsolete from VW now. Specs are M8x80x40, looks like this below
  10. X4 N 106 403 01 (M12x1.5x100)
  11. If I remember correctly, the only GTI options in the UK were sunroof, aircon, metallic paint, cd player, leather and possibly 5 seater rear bench, but happy to be corrected if I'm wrong
  12. I don't think factory nav was a UK option
  13. Leather was a factory option, my GTI came with factory heated leather
  14. The screws only hold the plastic 'glass' onto the actual frame that sits into the bumper, so you'll need a complete number plate lamp to fix. The plastic retaining clip has probably broken off, new one is £18.07 inc vat from VW, though you can get a pair of LED ones on eBay for around £10
  15. You can't get the pulley on it's own from VW, so I doubt any aftermarket companies would supply it like that either. Only comes with the whole tensioner from VW as shown below:
  16. Earlier 4 pin temp sensor is 059 919 501
  17. I really want to get all of the bolt-on parts of mine powder coated one-day, just need to win the lottery to be able to afford it!
  18. Not straight in, no. The Mk3 Golf uses the same rails as the 6N polo, Mk2 Golf and Mk1 Arosa. Mk4 Golf seats are a closer fit, but still need a bit of modding to fit straight in
  19. I believe she has recently posted on here too
  20. 2 screws at the front, and two retaining tabs at the rear. Locate the retaining tabs under the radio section of the dash and then screw in the 2 screws at the front, couldn't be simpler really!
  21. L3 UPO is on a moon silver GTI, chassis 6EZ2W007480, came from Stoke VW Van centre, registered 18-4-2002. It also suggests this reg is still on this vehicle via the DVLA and is currently on SORN.

Not been MOT'd since September 2017 and no tax data, possibly scrapped.
  22. GTI's are listed as being fitted with 'darkened lenses' from the factory, so should have come with Cambridge lights anyway, don't know why they didn't though...
  23. Watched that yesterday, nice to see an honest review and get a thumbs up! It's about time it got the recognition it deserves! Also, your GTI is lovely Chris!
