GTI model questions

[Lima]

Yeah, I own an 03 without the recaros, and I reckon they are pretty uncomfortable now that I’ve had it for a while, didn’t realise this when I first bought it though...
But, I didn’t know the older ones didn’t have a trip computer… I’m always looking at mine, what do the old ones have instead on that little screen?

These pics of the dash aren't great, but the best I have on file...



And one of the Recaros...


I reckon a rear hatch spoiler is a must as well...

Love those seats...anyone know where i can get a set???

yeah, where can i get me one of those...?
i've been wanting to get one!!


Also, I noticed when I was looking at gti’s, that the 99 model had a different cup holder, that wasn’t as fun to press as the 03, hehe

Yeah, I definately want the rear hatch wing.
MiniGolf, are those photo's from your 00 GTI? Isn't that a trip computer below the odometer? Or is there an additional one in the later models?

It's a bit of a worry actually, have already bought some r32 pedal's and organising a chip.... and I still don't have an actual car for them yet!

dunno if this is true or not, but i was told that the glove box compartment is shaped perfectly to fit a bottle of wine flat.

That is where the trip computer would go, but the screen in my Mk4 only had warning lights, park brake lights and such, there was no LCD screen with fuel consumption, avg speed etc.

As for the rear wings, IIRC the run out model 2.0 Sport's had them, as well as similar dash cluster dials to the Bora V6 4motion as standard equipment. The spolier on my car was the OEM Volkswagen one, but Oettinger, Reiger and other usual suspects also make them. Check out http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/ or similar if you don't fancy going through your local stealer.

spa: didn't know about the change to the cupholders???

Hehe, yeh, nto much difference… in the 99 model I checked out, the cupholders at the front were a fixed size (ie. round), in the 03 model, the cup holding bit extends for bigger cups…

Actually I discovered two new cup holders I didn't know existed the other day. So that makes it two in the dash above the stereo, two (dodgy) ones in the door of the glovebox when it's open, and the new ones I found...

Anyone know? hehe...

behind the rear ash tray in the centre console?

I'm curious, as my new toy was German delivered with 2 doors, 16'BBS wheels, Recaros but no sunroof, and obviously LHD....

Were 2 doors every sold in Australia??
