think i should hpi this before i go down?
dvla have it registered as a 2L
If you are planning to keep it I would HPI it tbh (but not a £3 HPI check!).
HPI themselves or RAC HPI will show outstanding finance and change of owners/colour/engine/numberplates etc
But for £750 it appears to be a bargain!

Most likely..
Because it has tinted windows.
Just not sure on the sunroof.
#25: Re: just bought a GTI!!!! Author: chunkielad, Location: LeighPosted: Tue Jan 18, 2011 6:17 am ---- Something doesn't sit right with this car for me. The GTi badge is the wrong one (looks like halfords or ebay one) and in wrong place it you compare to my GTi, Red is a rare as a**e colour and the sunroof.... thought all GTis had Climate control. Why the sunroof then? I think it's a conversion that has been re-registered with DVLA as a GTi.
I would do a FULL HPI check

It wouldn't be registered as a GTi if it was a conversion

If it says GTI on the V5c (when HPI'ed) it is a GTI. End of.
