MK7 GTI Facelift

Good video of Isaac Blue and it does have front Fog Lights, which is what I'd like to believe I'd get in the UK as according to the latest VW price list!

Unfortunately that's an EU car. UK cars 100% do not have fogs as standard.

Here's a couple of UK cars both of which have no fogs. Neither do any of the 6 or 7 I've seen in person at various dealers.

I have a feeling that by the time it comes to people taking delivery of their cars in a few months time they will have fogs.

Agreed. We've had all of the Mk7.5 stuff from VW and then the MY2018 changes with the official release by Evo1986 here, so plenty of opportunity for changing, or correcting, the spec. Fogs are still there, so there will be a great deal of poo hitting the proverbial if customer cars turn up without them.

Probably a supplier problem somewhere along the line. It'll be fine.

I've seen 6 or 7 customer cars. Each with no fogs. When Audi facelifted the A3 a few months ago, they moved from xenon to LED headlights and with this removed front fogs here in UK.

I'm 100% confident our UK facelifts will not have fogs.

Audi done the same with the facelift Q3 but it was the same everywhere and not just the UK plus I've seen a UK reg car with fogs and all Irish cars have fogs. Was the facelift A3 in Ireland the same, no fogs.

Fog lights are certainly listed as standard in the VW New Golf pricelist - even has this statement:

1 Front fog lights on GTD and GTI models incorporate LED technology, but do not feature static cornering function.

Could the fog light capabilities be within the headlight cluster?
Or, could the brochure be wrong. Could the lights in the lower grill be the cornering lights option?

One things for sure, there are plenty out there with no lights in the lower grills.

Two UK cars below.

Fog lights, fog lights, fog lights...........................................

Surely there must be something more interesting about the facelift than fogs or no fogs? Come on chaps and chapesses!

Just been messing with the Audi Q3 configurator, where the headlights are termed "All Weather LED".

Is this why our fogs have been deleted? Yes, I know it has previously been suggested that the LED headlights will do the job of the fogs, but this adds weight to that arguement, doesn't it?
