    Measure the diameter of the torsion bars, Gti-6 ones should be 20mm, post up the size of your ones on here and someone will know what model they are off,

    Does sound like you have lower spec ones on though,

    I think they'd be 19.3mm ones from the info shown on servicebox;

    5150 57 TORSION BAR LEFT DIAM 19,3 VIOLET
    5150 60 TORSION BAR RIGHT DIAM 19,3 VIOLET



    5150 56 TORSION BAR LEFT DIAM 20 GRIS
    5150 59 TORSION BAR RIGHT DIAM 20 GRIS

    definitely dounds like a lower spec model, will probably have a very skinny ARB in it as well, it has discs though right?

    i'd swap the torsion bars and ARB friom your old beam myself.
