they never made a non turbo mk4 gsi
That doesn't look like a gsi, doesn't have a gsi engine so I'd say he's talking out of his hole, tbh he doesn't even know himself so I'd be tempted to go with the facts tbh

Sri turbo wheels, non gsi spoiler, no pics of the gsi interior, no pics of the gsi front bumper, rub strips - if that's a gsi I'll eat my iPod....

The Sri turbo was the stop gap between the previous sporty model - the Sri 2.2 - and the Gsi turbo
that is how I've always known it to be (hence the low numbers of sri turbos as it was a limited run), and with it being on a S plate (when you could still get the last of the mk3 Gsi liter editions) I'd still be surprised if that was genuine - either way, it looks tacky

It does look like an SRi with GSi badges, it isn't a turbo but by the looks of things j10e w has found that the earlier models were called GSi's but of course in terms of performance they don't compare to the turbo
