Same as a Coupe Turbo with a hard to replace bodykit.

Are you being sarcastic?!

I know why they have that spoiler on. I just think it's gash.

Got ya sorry, had no idea there was a mk4 version, but knew about the 888 diesel (which incidentally would be my choice of the 2)

I'm not keen on the coupe 888's as standard. But with a little de-chaving and some subtle mods they can look pretty good for a kitted up mk4 coupe. The Irmscher DTM style spoiler is much more suited to them.

Depends on condition, mileage. I'd say 4k for a scrapper, 7k for a decent one.

Front seats are nice, but it was tragic they never matched the rear bench to front seats and instead just whacked an SRi bench in.

Do they not come with a miltek as standard ?

Would you invest in one of these Stavs? There is a lot of blue on the dash tho.

I remember there was a feature in TV a good while ago where a husband and wife had one each. They had put an irmy spoiler on it insted and it looked so much nicer

But then again if you are going to do that you might as well just get a coupe turbo..........

No, I have my car on the road and would get prang about it If i lived where i could either garage or have the car on the drive it would be an option.

Thing is the rear bench would have to make way for a weicher's and sparco harnesses
