Idrees Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 My cousins got a Swift GTI, spec list is same as urs apart from the Spark Leads lol. He says he gets a much butter buzz from driving his GTI than his Starlet GT! But the engines gone on the Swift, and some mofos have fucked up all the bodywork, its had a 2 tone paint job but should be back on road soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
