Chrome alloys and the brakes are on back to front :shocked:

Also - what is a vehicule :grin:

They couldn't make one in silver - they don't stand still long enough for a clear shot :wink:

Yeah I bought one of those after someone else informed me of it.

Wish it were an ED30 model though. And 5-dr..

Both sets of brake calipers are the wrong way around, not just the rears. :rolleyes:

Norev make the best GTI model I've seen.

Best colour though and in the best configuration - 3 door :evil:

How anyone can say the 5 door is better looking than the 3 door is beyond me, it just simply isnt.

Unless you're talking abou tthe current astra which looks sooooo much beter in 5 door than 3 door.

Well I have a model of a Deep Blue Pearl R32, 3 door, presented in a lovely see through box.  :smiley:

As for above - 3 door much better all the way - even in that Astra!

Nope, wrong again ! The 3 door Astra looks a million times better. 3 door is always going to appear much more curvier than its 5 door sibling.

Post by: Horney on 16 December 2008, 13:35
But the three door astra looks like someone has sat on it! At least the 5 door has the correct proportions for a car.

I'm a 3-door whore, but I have to say that the Astra 5-door version does look better than a 5-door one... but its all relative as they both look shyte compared to the Golf  :rolleyes:

5 doors are for those oldies who are married with kids :laugh:

I am married now, no kids yet, but I have already warned my wife that I am keeping my 3 door R32 if/when kids arrive. She has already understood she will be getting the 5 door one. End of. I thought it was very considerate of me..... :laugh:

Nope, I've got the same solution as Synnea. I'm keeping my 3-door Ed30 and getting a 5-door R32 for her  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Illyun - now thats the perfect compromise  :grin: :grin: I like it.

It was only last night I was on auto-trader website. Bless her, she mentioned to me about a new 5 door car to replace her Micra. She said she wanted a 5 door blue Mazda 2.....What about a 5 door GTI love? was my prompt reply....

Well, wont need it for a while but maybe late next year after the MKVI is out I reckon there will be nice 5 door MKV GTI example to be had for a decent price!

5 door looks much better on the GTI in my opinion.  I had the choice of 3 or 5 door and chose 5 door as I think the 3 door looks unfinished.

I think it is down to personal opinion at the end of the day  :smiley:

I'm sure that you could take the wheels and brakes off and mod it so that they are correct!!!  :grin: :grin: :grin:
