Post by: 8vgti on 18 November 2004, 13:48: Saw one as well on the weekend and I thought it looked quite nice. Its nicer than the standard mk5 which has that black part on the bottom of the rear bumper which Audi used to do which I think looks awful...so much better when its all colour coded IMO

Post by: topher on 18 November 2004, 14:07: The rear bumpers arent colourcoded according to the vw website. The rear bumper, front splitter and sideskirts are all black/grey in every pic ive seen. Yet to see one on the road yet though.. the one's youve seen must be demo models.
