Hi all, first post here but I've been lurking for a while now. Looking to get a Mk7 GTI, so I spend rather too much time scouring the net for new pics and Mk7 info!

Anyway, as the thread title says: http://www.vwvortex.com/news/volkswagen-news/production-gti-caught-at-commercial-filming/

Looks good to me. It appears to my eye to have the fog lights in the proper position, as seen on the 'concept' but seemingly absent from the car seen in Sweden. The cyclops eye is omitted from this one, which leads me to hope that the radar will be an option that you can omit on the GTI. Otherwise identical to the one shown in Paris?

Still need to see one in the flesh to decide, have to agree that the wheels don't look right either.

Is making me think I would like to get my lower grill sprayed white..hmmm

He mentions that the "camera car" is missing the badge on the wing, i hope that's not going to be a tell tale of the lower powered car? Cos i think thats the one i'll be going for with a few more bells and whistles on. :cry: unless a deal can br done that is.. :huh:


And welcome to the forum Sniper and thanks for posting! :afro:

Thanks Sniper

Good to see some "real pics"

Don't dislike the wheels but I'd want to see what choices there are before I'd say yes to them.

As we've all said a few times, in the flesh it'll look very different so hoping it looks different in a  :cool: way rather than  :sick:

The far one is also missing the trim either side of the rear window, i reckon that will be the lower powered one, GRRR!! >:(


I'm not sure about the GTI decal on the front calipers but i quite like he wheels tbh.

Still undecided...don't see the point in power options either :rolleyes:

I guess those that might not know about cars will think they wont miss 30 BHP and a locking diff?

Otherwise just buy a MK6 and fit an LSD?
