If you can stretch it would go for a mk7 gti with performance pack , **** off a shovel and stick to the road like glue , stunning interior as well . You have a vr6 rado for the growl? I've put the idea to rest to be honest getting an r32 as too many classics are a bit stressful with storage and costs.

Thanks Cressa, I have a aftermarket locking nut so I imagine it would not fit. Did you just get the cap of the lock nut as well from classics ?

The one that annoys me is the locking nut one . I ain't got one ha !

The ones posted above are off the part diagrams so are the ones that left the factory on the Corrado so I went for the stock look on mine. No 16 on diagram http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/601/subcategory/107010/part_id/0/lang/e#sec_16

I think you'll find they will fit but they are not correct relating to the era . These are more like it and you had a little plastic pincher tool with the tool kit to remove them off the bolt head from factory, I actually still have mine with the tool kit amazingly. Have them fitted to the same alloys you own. I believe they are still available from the dealers if you want oe.

Yeah I have read the metal quality VW sourced after the MK2 golf was a lot less better quality, makes sense as lets be honest the Rado suffer from rust quite badly as well, my Mk2 golf is 5 years older and had a shed load of owners and the body work underneath has done better then the Rado to be fair.

Thanks Geri it’s a shame they didn’t sell the edition and also the vr6 synchro as I’m sure they would of sold well over here . For me the anniversary interior just kills it .

Thanks that would be a very nice car indeed in either guises. From what I can see it was like the colour concept leather two tone and matched the body colour. Had matching surround trim on carpets and seat belts, half chrome golf ball gear knob well above its time . It's like a EU good taste version of the Anniversary we got in the UK.

Hi Sean, Was the Edition sold in the UK and did it come as a 8V or 16V . Was there as choice of colour on the body ? Cheers.

Still wondering if anyone knows the the info about the black recaros interior with the red detail. Noticed it comes with red seat belts as well which was part of the anniversary package. The Mk4 2.0 was not worthy of a GTI badge either you had to have the 1.8 GTI with the turbo , that was quite a nice car with the Recaro interior.

The Mk3 has never really been that desirable but I think a MK3 2.0 16v with that interior would be a good buy and I would quite like one ha. It didn't help that they were slower then the Mk2 golf and were a bit roly poly in the handling department. I've got a feeling the cool interior might have been a Uk option or only the european version of the anniversary , would luv to know. I have seen the cool interior in photos on rhd cars though so a bit mythed.

And the sound

Does anyone know whether this Recaros interior came with a MK3 GTI golf anniversary as when I have looked at the MK3 anniversary in the UK it has a chequered colourful not to my taste interior, however love the interior to the link below, do folks know what model this came on thanks. I have seen it described on the anniversary model but never see it on a car ? The interior i'm asking about that I think looks great http://gshep.co.uk/golfgti/golfgti_092.jpg The interior that I have seen on the anniversary which im not to keen on. https://www.vwheritage.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/interior-364x273.jpeg

Yeah I remember them coming out and thought they looked like a mini Ferrari, as mentioned they did disappear quickly off the roads.

That's the price I would like to hear ! I got quoted up to 3 k on my car for x2 sides. kept going back to the body shop and ended up building the guy some racks out of scaffolding and parting with 1.1k.

Crap me do you think the front windscreen was replaced at some point and the fitter didn't bond it that well and let water in, glad to see you sorted it though, this is a famous problem in Porsche 993 + 964.

See your up in Scotland mate I noticed this car for sale earlier, has some seriously rare parts, BBS body kit I think. and very rare colour not my cup of tea but none the less I think the body kit looks the business, would look great in Black or red. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Golf-Mk2-GTI-16v/174094811543?_trksid=p2485497.m4902.l9144

I can see these cars doing really well and the closest thing to a Rallye as had quite an exaggerated body kit etc, only just over 2k examples sold in the UK so has all the hallmarks as a good investment. Also the example after that looked pretty ordinary and then they moved to the R model so it really is a quite rare car to be fair.

I think you will get a good body shop to do that if you shop about with your budget.

Is it just me but has this doubled in price for the last 5 years. Well above inflation.

Right just spoke to him and they said for a full respray glass out etc starts at 6.5 k . I would seriously consider jumping on the ferry and getting done on the continent at them prices .

I’ll speak to my body shop in Rugeley mate the one partner owns a rado and the other mk2 golfs and e30s so an older car do t bother them , all the Vw people’s use them round here .

Good stuff mate did they get bored out to 3 liters . Surely that should increase bhp from stock figures by a little.

Anyone else would like one of these as another VAG car next to the Rado. Think they look great in moonlight blue which is a rare colour apparently. Do prefer the interior with cloth and leather bolsters think its looks a bit much all leather. Very tempted to sell my Mk7 GTI P/P and get some money out of her to finish my golf and rado and bank some money and buy a car like this ha, just talking out the box really. Would be looking more around the 8-10 k mark for one. They have all the mod cons I would want and unlike my Mk7 golf will not lose value. Just an excuse to get another VR block in family to be honest lol. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2003-Volkswagen-Golf-3-2-R32-3dr/264490719670?hash=item3d94e019b6:g:J50AAOSwbv9dntWI

The OEM airbox looks the business has that retro 80s design with the stripes so cool.
