The Interior

• Features the original Recaro seats, which are presented in excellent condition, with seemingly only light wear to the driver’s seat
• Both the carpeting and headlining throughout the vehicle are in great condition for the vehicle’s age, with only minor blemishes to observe
• Fitted with a single DIN Sony head unit
• Equipped with a dog guard, and Rezaw-Plast boot liner
• Overall, the interior of this Mk4 GTI is in great condition, especially for the mileage covered and the age of the vehicle. There are of course minor signs of wear and age to note, such as cracking to the wood burr trim pieces, but certainly, nothing that significantly detracts from the overall form or function. 

The Exterior

• As pictured, the exterior of this GTI does show numerous paintwork imperfections, such as the front wings, minor dents to the bonnet and body, scuffs to the wing mirrors, slight corrosion on the roof & boot, as well as the expected age-related marks.
• It would also appear that the front bumper has previously been resprayed, and is beginning to show light cracking, as well as the pictured scuffs
• Fortunately, spares for these vehicles are in great supply, so tracking down replacement wings & a boot shouldn’t prove to be too much of a challenge
• It should be noted that the windscreen also displays a handful of small chips, although none seemingly significantly affect visibility
• Whilst suiting the vehicle rather well, the 16” alloy wheels are also beginning to show significant surface corrosion and blemishes. That being said, the wheels come wrapped in a rather welcomed set of Goodyear tyres, with plenty of tread left to enjoy
• Although there are notable exterior defects, a great deal of these could likely be rectified rather easily without a great deal of hassle. It also deserves to be noted that the vehicle’s interior and mechanical condition is worthy of praise, and may offset the visual blemishes when compared to other examples
