Also I think the wheels are wrong, those wheels where fitted to the later model year R32's.

If its a clone its a pretty good one, they went to the bother of fitting the R32 discs and calipers.  Shame there are no interior shots, the headrest would probably give it away.

Washers would have come with the winter pack even if no xenons.

Semi Automatic I think.  My DSG R32 has S-A on the V5C.

The wheels are of the later style, but those actual wheels fitted to that car are after market and not VW originals. No Xenons rings alarm bells and shouts "front ender"!!

The centre cap badge of those is too big. The original VW wheels has a smaller badge on the centre cap plus the offset is wrong. They are wider than originals. Copy wheels are always slightly different...

They have to be due to tradmark issues, copy BMW Alpina wheels have 1 less spoke for the same reason.
