A friend of mine had original mk1 gti 2 door with factory sunroof. Not glass, but metal. Def was the gti too, correct trim spec, mags etc Wannabe 1

But the latest one is back to their old MO and it looks awesome. I have never actually seen one of these ones in real life, think they must be very scarce here in RSA.

I have a CAPRI and I spent many hours working on it and it's worth it when you do get to drive it. It has been parked for a few years due to having kids but as soon as time becomes available again I will carry on with it. Eddy Gordo 1
