perhaps the original owner liked the stealth look and wanted to surprise people, its also possibly what confused those who filled the paperwork in for the DVLA ?

i think as far as the badges are concerned - becuase its had this WALD thing done, it probably came with a wald badge on the left, which is also what could have confused the DVLA, so the Dealer probably took the badge off and put GTI back on instead.

dont think its a big concern as all the other info on the V5 completley points to a GTI, including engine code

I have considered taking the car back and getting my money back but dont think its worth it.

I only paid 13k for mine with a very good spec (apart from WALD) and low mileage - car has only done 15k.

looking on auto trader - would pay nearly 15k for the same spec to get it from VW, and would definitley want a 1 year warranty with the car after the trouble ive had with this one

i do have the option though and the dealer said they would give me a refund but think it gets a bit complicated since i part exchanged my clio towards the GTI

VC:
have they not got access to another gti? that would be my worst case scenerio direction

dont think so, had a long drive in the car today, did central london to brighton and back and the car definintley feels off power, not much torque and power really dies when you get up to 5k rpm

went through a tunnel and put my foot down a bit so i could listen out for any boost leak and it did sound a bit hissy while accelerating
