Been meaning to post in this thread for days now, but I've been away from home... Anyway, I attended the Geneva Motorshow last Monday (11th) and spent more time than was reasonable looking at the GTI. I've got to say that, somewhat predictably, it looks much better in the flesh than it does in many of the photos. The front end in particular looks much better when you can see it in proportion with the rest of the car. I was more taken with the white than the red, though I only saw the latter on a 5 door GTD. Still not sure about the 18" Austin Swastika's, much preferred the appearance of the 19" Santiago's.
The one thing that surprised me the most is how inoffensive the ACC Cyclops eye looked on the white 3 door GTI. Now, I was very much against the idea of having it and still don't like the appearance of it on the non-GTI Golf's, but I'm actually quite tempted by it now.
I took some photos on my phone, but they're nothing special and the quality is very much of the typical camera phone standard...
