I have owned a Mk6 golf, no radar. A Mk7 which had a square radar sensor under the bumper in the lower grill which when it activated the first time, scared the life out of me. I have a Mk 7.5 GTI which has the radar behind the VW badge on the front. I live in Northern Ireland and believe willni does too. As we are part of the UK, to my knowledge, our cars are UK spec. I think that cars in Eire/Ireland (the Republic of Ireland) have a different spec. There are plenty of members on this forum who will be able to comment on the spec of cars in the Republic. This is meant as helpful information not political comment. Any offence that might be caused is unintentional.
