No fog lights on the GTI or GTD surely they're not going to make that a paid option?

Not sure on the GTI as it's not out yet but Front fog lights including static cornering function are standard on GT

Bet its in the headlight cluster, Audi have started doing this too.

Fogs in the headlights is as useful as a chocolate teapot. My MK4 had the fogs in the headlights and they were next to useless  :angry:

UK GT Spec Fogs, located in bumper, if added as an option to lesser models it's the same.

Is that not just the prototype though whereas the ones from vwvortex are the real deal?
I notice the red on the lights aren't as prominent on the vwvortex ones either.

Who knows, I would put money on the following though:

MK6 will have fogs as pictured as standard just like you can get now on the GT.  The radar will be visible like it is already on standard, lesser models.

I still reckon the eyeball will be an option on the GTI just like cruise was on the mk6 GTI (but standard on the mk6 GT).
The GTI should be more focussed on driving not cruising.

Are those black side skirts on the concept gti? looks like they've dropped them looking at this.

The R in the pics doesn't have skirts either and you can guarantee both models will in production form.

In fact that R looks really bland!
