It seems conclusive that VW UK product/marketing have decided to delete the fogs for whatever reason only known to themselves. VW Germany give all the markets the flexibility to add/delete spec and thats what VW UK have done. Likely reason - some cost trimming.

They are definitely fitted to Irish cars.

Saw 3 facelift GTDs this week and none had fog lights. Does look a bit plain without them.

No doubt, when VW gauge the reaction, they will be "added to the spec." with a resounding TA-DAAA!

The thing is, they're already on the spec - it just looks like they aren't being fitted to the cars.

I think everybody on this forum who is planning to purchase a GTi/GTD (even those who aren't !) and would prefer the fog lights in the bumper should e-mail VW UK asking that they be made available,making the point that even though a fog light function may well be incorporated into the LED light units on UK cars,it's more to do with appearance.
I'll be sending mine shortly !

Hmm no headlight washers... The 7.5 definitely has those. It has to have those legally for HIDS, be them xenon or led.

I've just checked the photos of the car I saw the other week at the dealership and definitely washers... No fogs tho lol

VW really aren't helping themselves - if you look at the website for the new Golf and click on either the "Overview"
tab or the "Features & Styles" tab you'll find various pictures of a Red GTi proudly displaying the bumper fogs,that's
in addition to them showing on the configurator car display !
