thats the window for the chassis number mine was like yours so i just removed the brittle broken plastic it will leave a painted surface with the chassis number etched into it nothing to worry about they all do it

 

[s3_kev]

nobiuss im loving the engine bay making me want to get my charge pipe polished

 

[jays3]

this is the engine from my old mk4 golf,

1.8t engines are inherently ugly due to all the pipes etc. However, this guy has made a good job of his (ibiza).

 

[jimmy S3]

just couple of mine, still loads to do like ploished caps, polished charge pipe, plastic covers painting

 

[danclarke]

mine fairly standard.

Jason - will any of this shiny nonsense make your car go faster?

 

[basscrazy]

My bay

 

[Prawn]

now that's cool!
is it a genuine 32? or just a mk4 with the kit and a 20vt motor?

 

[danclarke]

Lovin the R32 Rep, guessing its a rep as it hasnt got the headlights. very nice car! what power is it running?

 

[Prawn]

guessing its a rep as it hasnt got the headlights.

Good spot! Still lovely though

 

[1animal1]

yup defo not an R32 engine, looks like an S3 transplant as the throttle body is on the right

 

[s3_kev]

yeah he's been on here before about it, if im right its an amk 210bhp at the mo coversion looks very smart almost like its suposed to be in there especially with the s3 battery covers etc, be good to see the rest of the car,

 

[basscrazy]

yea its a pretend r32 lol will be coming off when i get my new grill it confuses the hell out of people is it a 1.4 is it an r32 is it a normal 1.8 gti

then they see the s3 engine and confuses things even more

 

[s3_kev]

think it be good as a bit of a sleeper make it look like a standard 1.4 be funny to see peoples faces

 

[danclarke]

i would leave it as it is even if it does confuse people its very nice! we need more pics n spec!
