MKV........ Oh VW What have you done

[kniterider]

think mk5 looks ok, not too sure about the toyota avensis style headlamps, think they let it down, still like me mk4 and am buying a standard 85 mk2 8v 2mrw for our second car, havin a bit of an old skool revival!

I know what you mean, but think about how many people disliked the Mk III headlamps after the Mk II.....and the Mk IV's have just been an evolution of what was started with the MK III's. - The MK V's are just an even further evolution.

If this stye headlamp allows them to standardise on Xenon projector lamps accross the GTi range, instead of the 'candle power' stuff they're fitting at the moment, I'm all for them!

Top marks for the old school revival! I'm looking at buying a track day car over the winter, as a fixer-upper project for next summer, which will prob be a Mk I running a 16v lump, so I'll be old school-ing it too!
