Title: What are the exterior differences between a Golf Gl and a GTI?
Post by: DanSD50 on 03 October 2012, 01:16

I am thinking of buying a mk4, I am going to buy a Golf GL Coupe or a GTI, I just wanted to know if there are any differences on the exterior between one and the other, like are the bumpers the same design, I don't know but on the pictures the GL bumper looks more curved. Is it just me? And the ride height and the rims are different too right? Are these all the differences? Thanks.

usually the bumper strips are colour coded on the gti models but the bumpers are practically the same really

Gti = Lower Ride Height, Tinted Rear lights, Alloys, Clear Side indicators, Colour coded - Bump strips door handles, boot handle,fog lights built into the headlights

But GTI's dont look much different TBH  :grin:
