Hello
My name is Jacek, and I come from Poland. I hope that my post in English isn't a problem for you. I own 1989 GTI 16v and I want to ask you is this a Special version. I have read your boards and found some information.
Model: Golf GTI 16v KR, 5d, color like 'OakGrun'
it is after some accident (front), it was repainted
no sticker in trunk
no service book (i'm at least fifth owner :D)
Production year: probably 07.1989
registration in Germany in 09.1989, old CE1 (fuse/relay unit) so production before 07.1989, cooling tank is dated 06.1989
VIN: WVWZZZ1GZKW48....
What is goood according to Special specification:
- MFA
- CL protection strips
- smoked rear lights
- 15 inch BBS RA
- no red stripes
- 'Special' bucket seats- 4 speakers (two in rear nad two in front), rear seats are from same material (those colour stripes)
- interior in dark grey
What is wrong for sure:
- it has alpha radio (but the wires also fit gamma)
- chrome VW badge
wrong but with some excuse:
- big bumpers (car is from ~07.1989 so they were changed from small)
- grill is not original (Carello headlamps in tubes, no red stripe, maybe after accident it was changed)
- mirrors are painted (but whole car was painted)
- no rear spoiler (every GTI has it)
Other:
- 256 mm brakes
- Digifiz (originally fitted)
- no power steering
- sliding roof
- front windscreen with green stripe on the top
- normal mirrors and windows (not electric ones)
Could this be a GTI 16v Special? Can VW dealer tell me what is the specification beacuse I don't have sticker in trunk? Front grill in Special has got red stripe ?
I'm planning to keep it original. I changed the exhaust, and I will change bumpers for the small ones.
This is photo with old old exhaust. I have changed it for OEM type with two normal pipes.
ps. What colour should be the doors from inside after getting off the side panels?
ps2. I read this topic http://www.doppel-wobber.de/wb…d_46192_GTI-Special-.html
