The GTD suspension, is it not as low as the GTI standard?

Are the Fogs dropped if the car has the Enhance LED package ?  Just a thought.

The GTD and GTi I seen yesterday didn't have dynamic lighting or front fogs and the Irish launch GTD didn't have dynamic lighting and it did have fogs. Very odd.

UK models just don't have fogs? It seems a weird idea if that is true

That seems a retrograde step - let's hope the 23rd March 2017 Price List is right!

Lots of inconsistencies, which seems to be the norm with VW and their sales & and marketing material.

The current UK price list brochure has a picture of a GTD on page 17 with fog lights clearly visible. GTD spec on page 16 lists the additional items of spec over the GT model (page 12); GT spec includes front fog lights, so, the GTD should get the GT spec items listed, plus the items on page 17. Similarly, the GTI spec on page 18 lists the additional items of spec over the GTD. So.......if the GT has front fogs, going by the content of the price list brochure, the GTD and GTI should also have them, but there are facelift GTI's and GTD's in the U.K. that don't have them!

Just to confuse matters further, footnote 1 on page 25  states 'Front fog lights on GTI and GTD models incorporate LED technology, but does not feature static cornering function'.

Top marks for confusion, VW!

No, they can clearly be seen in lower bumper behind the fins at 42sec in this video and illuminated at 1min 12sec.

No sure about the non performance models but on the performance models the cornering light is in the headlight assembly. You can code the fog lights on both the GTD and GTi to act as cornering lights.

Just seen a brand new gti, wrappers still on, fresh from the factory.  No fogs, not even a light switch for them

And now looking.... this GTI review of a (German?) one:

https://youtu.be/PrOa7KAPxC8

At 1:01 you can see the light switch, only one fog light switch position... for the rear, like on a R.
