Golf mrk 1 Gli convertible 1981
Hi there, I have just joined and bought a mrk 1 Golf Karmann Gli 1981 convertible, when it was sold to me the guy said it was changed from a Gli to a Gti by VW? It says Gti on the back as well, i know you can just stick a badge on though but was he talking crap???
Also looking for a replacement carpet?

Hi mate welcome to the club
Gli was a 1.6 and gti's are 1.8 i think thats the differnece so its had an engine change ? :dunno:
If youre after a brand new carpet you can get them for about £150 from Newton Commercials, and if you become a paid member of this club (£15 a year) you will save 10% with that company as well as many other discounts !

hi
Hi Scott, first of all thanks for the reply and welcome ;-)
My Golf has a 1.8i engine in it? On the log book it says 1.8 Gli?
Another thing, is the steering really hard, I know its due to no power steering, but didnt realise it was so bad lol
Also can the braking system be updated to discs all round?
Cheers Ian

Not green mate its a blue/purple metalic colour, it says 1.8 gl not gli, even though the engine is a 1.8i?

sounds like its a 1.5GL thats had an engine upgrade then, unlikely that VW did it.Ianh6 said
