#1: Authentic white GTi 180? Author: colganraz, Location: LeedsPosted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:03 am ---- stumbled over this by chance on the trader this morning
is there any way of knowing if this is genuine white from manufacturer?
according to the register there is only 2 of these in the UK? is that including ones that could have been scrapped

a full HPI check will give the date the car was repainted, and what colour it was originally
