A new motoring restoration TV show - Golf GTi

Post

Back to the top
Just see this listing on ebay saying that the car will be appearing in a new motoring restoration show on TV.

Looking at the car and what's missing and the standard i dread to think what what the programme is called.  Maybe I'm too old skool to spot out the flaws or just getting too old?

Spot the difference or incorrect for originality as they state in their advert 'bringing the car to completely original spec'

On top of what's been mentioned, Black decal around rear window missing, black stripe at bottom of tailgate, rear wiper in wrong park position,  16v roof ariel, P slots in alloys not black, uprights behind grille are red and should be Matt black and being really fussy the grille badge is too low,  but not a bad looking example and a fairly easy job to finish properly.

Incorrect front wiper arm (Non GTi)
No sill strips and holes filled in
P-Slots and not tarantula alloys for correct year -  if being fussy
Waistline strips look to be stickers from what I can see.
Parcel shelf???

Spotted a few other bits to the trained eye.

Anyone know what programme this is going to be on an when as it will be good to see from start to finish in restoration / standard compared to what was done on the For Love of Cars programme.
