I think the big bumpers came out in 1990. I had a 16v which was a awesome car, but i think the 8v is the more popular choise. Its not as fast but has a realy torquey engine. I think you will be shocked how well it handles for a front wheel drive, and they tend to tripod when you corner at speed :D .

One simple mod that is worth doing is getting a weighted gear linkage from a mk3 golf. Take about 2 minutes to put on and will make the gear change feel much smoother :thumbup:

I think the optionals were things like front fogs, recaro seats, alloys and other trim options.

All I can say is I love mine. it's not the tidiest in the world and it's pretty much stock but It's a daily hack!

One of the most fun cars I've ever driven :rockin:

mine's a 90spec with big bumpers and the 8V digifant engine, goes pretty well :guns:

Just look out for rust in the door shuts (above the hinges etc.), behind the bumpers and trim, around the battery tray.
