the above jetta is simply called a '89 GLI 16v wolfsburg edition.   the
"helios" just refers to the color, helios blue, which was used on the '89 jetta GLi
16v wolfsburg with the above features. Helios blue was also used on many
other years.

the 8 valve '89 wolfsburg jetta/golf/cabriolet were star blue metallic LD5T.
they had the same diagonal stripes, but the seats were sport seats, not
recaros with the huge side bolsters.  go to vwvortex cabriolet forum, under the
thread "special edition cabby's" and you can see a '89 star blue wolfsburg
edition cabriolet w/ the diagonal grey striped seats.
