From one VAG to another, the interior of this strange beast looks not half like the Fabia's (bar the steering wheel of course).

Volkswagen South Africa – Citi Gallery

Very interesting!

Thats more then a strange beast. How can it be cost effective to sell a brand new car in South Africa that is based on a chassis platform that must be ancient. I did not think they even made that Mk2(?) Golf Platform anymore.

The more I look at it, anyone know where I can get the gearstick **** thingy from this?

A VW dealer i would think, it the standard mk5 GTI one i think...!

What a weird car....

I bet there are loadsa mk1 golf euro look type thingy owners cumming in there pants at the thought of a "new" mk1 gold shell!

Going by the dimensions... whats to say this isn't a Fabia/Polo chassis with mk1 Golf body panels on it? :confused:

Or is this VW's attempt as recycling??

It's a Mk1 Golf

It's only available in 5 door though :( I did enquire to SA about a roof skin as I wanted rid of my sunroof but it wasnt worth it.

The gear kn0b on a Mk 5 GTI is 6 Speed, and made of high quality German Cow Leather. Unlike that crappy plastic rubbish I am seeing before my very eyes. :P

I do like the silver vent surrounds though, think they've been mentioned on here before. Would brighten up the dash a bit. Never been quite convinced by the after-market stick-on ones.

You could always pull your vents off and spray them silver.

I'm sure someone on here has already done that.

Aaaahhh they were great cars, here is me in 1991 getting my beloved 1.8gti off the back of a lorry after a transit pulled out on me in cumbria, broke my heart it did.
