All the face lifts in the world won't sort that giant rear overhang out I'm afraid

looks like a very minor facelift.

Thats generally what a facelift is - minor. Look at the new FL A3/S3, slightly new different lights, bumpers, same wheels, not many people would probably even notice the difference.

Exactly. Few people will notice any difference aside from members on here and other enthusiasts. I mean, from my own point of view, I don't pay much attention to BMW's, for example, so if I were 3-series shopping in the morning I wouldn't be sure which model is "the facelift".

I hope it's not the Frankfurt motor show as we are going to Paris for the motor show LoL.

It appears I am wrong. I did not realise that the Frankfurt and Paris shows are year about. This year, Paris will be showing passenger vehicles. I'll look forward to seeing some of your photos

Facelifts are subtle. As you say - only enthusiasts would know the difference. Especially with cars like BMW, Audi and Mercedes. Even completely new models of those cars look similar to the old models. For example: the Audi A3 with standard lights looks like the old A3. Though, since the A3 facelift, I think Xenons are now standard across the range?

Oh... I wonder will Xenons with LED daylight running lights, be standard fit on all new Golfs? I doubt it, but...

Looks like you were spot on with your predictions.
We are going over on the 3rd of October so hopefully get plenty of pictures.

Looks like this might be based on fact:

Optional digital dash, optional gesture control, optional LED lights...

There are some photos on that page of the new exterior... gone are the round tailpipes and in are the trendy funny shaped vent holes

GTI has lower spoiler styling cues from the Clubsport. Other than that and the lights, not seeing any other exterior changes for the GTI?
