GTI without the red stripes through the headlights

Same here H5O.  I'm so used to seeing it now, I though it looked really odd without the red stripe continuing through the headlights!

Looks better with the two stripes like MK6, or they should have added another....3 Stripes on the grill.

Personally i dont like the stripe through the lights....looks awful

I thought the door trim had a red pin stripe or is this only when the lights are on?I am sure I have seen this red but it was a night picture.

It's only noticeably red when lit.

Each unto their own eh?!  I think the single stripe looks far sleeker, through the lights or otherwise.

The GTI red lines on my 6 look v.good, however the 7 looks much better with its GTI red line.

I'm a big fan of the red line going through the lights, the thing i don't like is that the red line is part chrome! WTF??

I just dont think they are making the GTI stand out enough as it is. Exterior wise, if you put the GTI wheels on the 1.4 GT, they look very similar.

Where is the wow factor, Like "OMG, look at that sexy GTI over there"

What will it be next time...no stripe?

Follow the heritage and keep it two stripe.

What do you mean follow the heritage? The mk1 and 2 had one line all the way round, the mk3 and 4 didn't have one at all and the mk5 only had one, i don't think it's a big deal tbh.
