BW45 Golf GTi & GTD Specification changes
« on: 23 October 2013, 12:55 »
Hi all,

thought I would kick off a thread to follow the news about the BW45 specification changes taking place on the GTi & GTD.
So far looking on certain threads and YouTube videos I have noticed the following changes:-

Performance Pack gets Red GTi badges to front and rear
Folding mirrors now operate from remote fob
Sound Pack available for GTD
Red brake callipers for GTD

*possiblity of a standard fitmet of USB / iPod interface instead of MDI (anybody able to confirm)

Anybody know of anything other changes?

Cheers :)

I can only assume, but MY2014 Performance GTi cars at the Frankfurt motorshow had red GTi badges.

Its to make the GTD's sound better  :grin: so nothing to worry about for GTi owners.
I find that the information posted around the BW45 changes is very minimal. I don't think its the fault of local dealerships either, just little information about BW45 changes being filtered down to the UK.
It would seem pointless to have EU GTi Performance Pack cars with red GTi logo's and not do the same for all of them.

Where are you getting the info about red brake calipers for a GTD?

According to the bulletin Lee posted about BW45 changes it states they are urging the dealers to make sure customers know its Grey calipers with no logo!
