Hi all I have a rainbow interior in my 5 door 8 valve GTI I have taken a look at the option sticker in the boot and it list 49 next to the paint code (LP9V) for my car Did VW provide the rainbow option in 1988 and if not does anyone know what the available options were Thanks
interior code 49 is for rainbow interior, so its probably a 1 in 10 million have a look at your option codes here: http://clubgti.com/showthread.php?283422-VAG-option-codes-decoder-amp-list
Thanks It all seems to make sense, LP9V, rainbow interior and the age. I have read 1 in 10 million editions should have Le Castellet 14 inch wheels ?
yep, and half tint rear lights, tinted interior light and iirc bee sting aerial but could be wrong on that last bit
I have thought of ordering the birth certificate but the delay (approx 8 mnths) is putting me off + I suspect it will not confirm specifically that its a 1 in 10 millionth Is there a single source of data ref all the special editions when, what ect ect
the list above is best source there is for all the mk1/2 codes, but this site has a brilliant list of all the obscure special editions though it doesnt show what the codes were: https://translate.googleusercontent...e.html&usg=ALkJrhh9xnmyDrOzTlWWKwgzchnU6wQdDw what option codes does your mk2 have? but having rainbow interior code for an 8v GTI pretty much garauntees its a 1 in 10 million it was only ever in an 8v for this edition (in the UK at least)
I have the below options codes 791, 930, 776, 565, WE3, EQE, EQG 930 - inside-adjustable outside mirror left 776 - without trim strip - export markets: Golf Tour 565 - sports steering wheel Cannot find anything ref 791 WE3, EQE, or EQG
the letter codes are very difficult to find data on unfortunately, but yeah its probably a 1 in 10 million as its got the right interior
As Rubjonny says one in ten million had rainbow trim tinted rear lights and as you stated James 14" le castellet alloy wheels the only other 8 valves that got rainbow trim were some of the last big bumper ones that had it fitted ( I remember a mate of mine had a 91 J plate 5 door oak green one many years ago with rainbow trim, 16v rear lights, bee sting aerial, front leccy windows and pas as well)
Thanks valvemiester At least I have something to work with, now just need to source the correct alloys and a small bumper kit (currently has some big bumpers) and sort badly lowered suspension Want to return to close as stock as poss
Interesting to read these posts re. The rainbow seats and 1 in 10 million edition. I’ve got one of these stored since 2001. I’ve been lucky enough to dry store. Any thoughts on this wood trim. Haven’t seen it or heard mentioned on any other GTI’s. Will try to attach pics. Finally getting to grips with getting car back on road Car is 88 GTI 8v Swartz black Rainbow interior 3 door Small bumper Le Castelet wheels Wood trim
Hello, have you managed to source the front and rear small bumpers? If not I have a set that are all black that I’m soon to be selling if your interested?
