    It's an immobilizer warning light, but it's only half displaying.

    They are not original clocks by the way. They came out of a Bora sport. That explains the warning lights being poor and probably also the milage.

    You could get most mk4 golfs in 4 motion on the continent, i think the only exceptions were the GTI and the V5 actually, i've seen one and definitely not in RHD.

    Not an Anniversary interior either , not even Ricardo.

    Well spotted on the Bora spor clocks too.

    I never thought the best MK4 GTI in the country would have Reps and that exhaust.

    In lt's favour i would say it's probably a legit 180 and the price isn't too bad.

    A dealer won't be able to verify mileage either.

    That, they did. Maybe he got them from the same car he got that fabulous Anniversary edition interior :rolleyes:

    Looks like a botch job either way to me, and whilst if the car was genuine with everything he says it is, it might be worth the money he's looking for, unfortunately he seems to be a spoofer. I'd be asking for engine codes etc to make sure that the car isn't just a 150bhp mapped up to 180bhp aswell based on that knowledge.

    ive seen it a few times on my hunt for a 190e as a daily banger:pac:

    the owner must thing he is some kind of pimp with the massive skanger AMG developed (2.0 carb 4cyl FFS!lol) and 18inch AMG reps but the worse thing about it is the headlamp eyebrows that make it look like a pissed off JOHNNY5 from the 80s film Short Circuit :eek::eek:

    Isn't the potential buyer just buying the log book and vin plate to stick on his modern RR in order to avail of €56/year road tax?

    Maybe not a 3rd gen but a 2nd gen would get away with it.

    There's a Discovery II local to me that's been going around on ZV plates for 2 or 3 years now, so people do go in for that kind of thing.

    For over 3k? He'd be a while saving the outlay on classic tax:D I have seen discos and such on Zv plates myself too.. Personally, I don't get it. Its a classic vehicle, but without any classic aesthetics whatsoever. Its the kind of vehicle that you can drive everywhere, every day, comfortably... Except you can't really because aren't Classic insured vehicles restricted to ridiculously low mileages? Otherwise you have to tax and insure normally? Is it really worth it just to save money on a tax and insurance technicality?

    First RR I saw on Donedeal just now is a 01 4.6 V8. Road tax is €1800/year, so the investment would be recouped quick enough.

    And if you've got one sitting around on yellow plates, you dodge the VRT too by giving it a new identity.

    All fine and dandy until you get in a scrape, and the cops or an insurance assessor put 2+2 together.

    Why do people do it? I dunno, sticking it to the man?
