    yeah and wheels, mirrors, lower grilles.
    so much stuff make up the full kit.
    each one seems to come with different bits and pieces.
    iv only seen one with the oettinger exhaust in AUS (its a quad tip), but the car had heaps of other oettinger bits too

    I have a GTI, and I love the car, but the lack of traction on the front end is frustrating. No LSD, no traction control. Cornering in the wet is dicey at times, and taking off in first gear is ridiculous. I wish I'd have checked out a V6 4motion Bora (I still haven't driven one but I'd imagine the grip is a lot better).

    Governor22 Dylan8 : cheers for the help i apresh.

    Not sure if i ever like the oettinger kits. And every 'Sport' i look at has different features, every car that uses the 'oettinger options' as
    a selling poin have all different feature, some have skirts others don't, some have the quad exhaust or the ottin grille and other dont.

    was the suspension package the same between the 4mo and 4mo sport?

    Yeah I'd prefer a 4mo, but GTI's are a little cheaper at the moment, have driven both but only in the dry, so i can't compare the traction thing.

    I believe it was the same unless it was a oettinger kit...?

    So the std 'Sport' 4mo had the standard suspension package, But the 'Sport' with Oettinger kit has a different suspension package?

    I've only ever seen the sport 4mo with the oetty grille and ghey spoiler. Get some pics of the full kit and cost of each piece it's mising.

    I don't think so. If anything the springs might be different. My GLI had the sport suspension package and the only difference between it and a 1.8t were the springs. No coilovers.

    I thought the sport 4mo just had the grille, spoiler, rims and some interior stuff.
