Looks like a GTI to me, still has Gloss Black mirrors, GTI wings etc.
It might not have been in a collision.. Look at the other signs...
It's clearly been modified, twin exhausts on bumper, GTI badge, tints, 16" nimrods (possibly) etc etc
If one of the previous owners modified the rear bumper, maybe they had some badboy silly looking front bumper, and wanted to remove it for easier sale but only had a non sport bumper available. You just don't know.
Should be fine mate for the price, you'll know once you're zipping around inside it

yeah i'm goin to have a proper nosey around at weekend,
no doubt it is a real GTI
i am pretty sure it has had a knock on the off side as the wing is also a non sports, but for a 10 year old £700 car i aint fussed if it has,
if it has i don't think it will of been a bad one as there is no sign of air bag deployment or damage to other panels

| If you do a check - for the record I always used mycarcheck when trading and it was spot on everytime and shows everything you need to know IMO (even stuff HPi didnt mention?) |
I didnt think My car check actually checked for outstanding finance?  |
I've used them a few times, did back then (18 months or so ago).
Reason why I rate them is they actually show whether the car has ever been recorded as stolen - I bought a 306 cabriolet and did a check on top of the one that the auction house was did with HPi and the check showed it was still outstanding stolen... long story short, the insurers who paid out on it (albeit a few years prev) then stuck a cat c marker on it.

to be fair its always a risk when you buy a car thats been modified by someone else, but for £700 with tax and mot i think you probs got a bargain matey

OT I know, but how rare is the sunroof option? My gti has one, never considered that it'd be rare like.

well i have been running around in it for a few days now and am still on the same tank of fuel that the guy put in
i have had it HPI checked and it is all good and squeaky clean,
i got the it checked out and it has had a slight bump on the off side but nothing major as there is nothing bent or cracked been replaced and welded etc so it looks like it was just a cosmetic bump,
me and my mate have been flying round in it tonight, it is now called the youth mobile as it makes us feel like we are 18 again lol,
only bad thing so far is that i snapped the boot trim when i lifted up the boot last night

2 clips & 2 nuts inside the boot are all that hold them on, yank the plastic tailgate trim of from inside to get at the 2 nuts securing the strip.

A phase one trim will be cheap, most people on here retrofit the phase two trim so there's plenty of phase one trims knocking around trim
