EVL20T said:The purple 1 is still mine, the pink 1 was mine and my ex's but she got it when we split up, my mate bought it off her now and is for sale
this is how it looks like now
EVL20T said:Theres a MASSIVE difference between GL and GLXi, the GL is crap!!
It has a carberator engine which means if you want to turbocharge it or throw an EFI engine in it you will need to replace ALL the wiring looms and fuel tank
The GL also uses a weak cable clutch gearbox while the GLXi uses the hydaulic clutch
The GL has flat door trips, the GLXi has pockets and all
The GL inbuilt headrests in the front seats, the GLXi seats have seperate head rests and the rear seats have head rests too, also the GLXi rear seats are more buckety and the rear part is split fold (seats fold forward so you can throw stuff in the boot from inside) the GL doesnt fold down and are flatter
The wiper stalk is also different, the GL has slow, med and fast, the GLXi has intermediant, slow, med and fast
The GLXi has a tacho on the cluster while the GL does not
The GLXi came with cup holders underneath the stereo
Some model GL's dont have a petrol cap or boot release, all GLXi's came with them
Some G'Ls didnt come with power mirrors, all GLXi's came with them
Some GL's didnt have colour coded body panels such as door handles and bars, all GLXi's did
There is more, just abit late to think about them lol

EVL20T said:How much did you pay out of curiosity??
BEST base model to play with is CC GLXi, but if you can find a Proton M21 you will be laughing, the pink coupe (blue/silver) is a Proton M21, they have all power options, recaro bucket seats, rear disc brakes, bigger front brakes, stronger gearbox and a powerful 1.8 DOHC engine
I bought the old pink 1 for 3k back in 2006 when it was completly stock and greeeeeen
Here is a week after we bought it, went and got 19s the next day and air bag suspension in a week

Do what you need on your car, then when the time comes for more power, buy a GLXI. Then swap all your stuff onto the GLXI, swap all the GLXI into the GL, and sell the GL. Less hassle in terms of engine swaps and all that, plus it will come with 4573487348 goodies. But you'd just have to make sure that your mods are removable so that it can be easily swapped later on. Like if you got a bodykit, make sure it's bolted on instead of sikaflex'd on. Could still use sikaflex but it would just be a *mum* to get off. My veilside's had sikaflex all over them when I bought em... pain in the ass.
Or just buy an M21 and swap everything into that instead?
I'm sure there's a GLi model too? Was probably only for the sedans...
I will tomorrow. I'll take some good pictures of it.EVL20T said:Post up pics, 1k is about the goin rate for a stock GL, no mods and in fair condition these days, a good condition stock GL is worth around 2k
leadfoot said:also mikey glxi's didn't come with power mirrors. only the m21's had that
