Welcome to the forum - lovely car that you have there. And silver ones are the fastest you know.

i thought GTI's came with climate control as standard or is it because of the leather interior that it hasnt got it.
Good price for a GTI with leather tho mate.

It's a pre-alignment model hence the manual AC and the all red GTI badges. Very good price with the leather!

sorry if this makes me sound thick but what is a pre-alignment model

[Tim_GTi]

It was the really early model of the GTi,

Not sure exactly what differences it had, apart from the obvious red badges, non-standard climatronic unit. I think possibly a different engine code and tax classification? (someone wil ahve to confirm the last two.)

[pologti76]

so its a mk4 gti in a mk5 shell or something like that

No, it doesn't have similar features to the mark 4 like the 6N2 saloon, it's a mark5 GTi with a few twists

[Mouse_GTI]

Basically the standard spec hasn't been defined really, hence you don't have climate. But some are lucky and get nice seatbelts, plus the all red badges are actually quite sought after

[Tim_GTi]

Whats different about the seatbelts Mouse?

[Mouse_GTI]

Remember there are 3 different ones - all black, all red, and black with a red stripe either side

Yeh, not 100% sure which one comes where though. I've got the red ones, in which situation du get the black with red stripe ones?
