A bit like all the mk5 ones I see from the front that i think oh look a mk5 GTI then it gets abit closer and its actually a GTsport.

I spotted a few mk6 GTIs when i had the mk5. There easy to spot. Two thick red grill lines, GTI badge. From the rear the split twin tailpipes. The GTD has same front and rear bumpers, fog light design, rear lights, darkened rear windows,  but a crome grill and mk5 GTI style tail pipes.

But im sure you know all this and are trying to be funny :rolleyes:

Spotted one in Morrisons.  Real Mk6 petrol GTI.  The rear tail pipes are arranged on either side of the car.
When I had a Jag with pipes like this (XJR) people used to make wheelbarrow jokes.

The rear lights look a bit cut off and the front has very little road presence (cf Mk5) but it looked OK.

The smell might be from all the DERV's skulking around the GTI forum.

I thought you were into Nissans instead now Nosher? Maybe that 's why you've been bigging up the standard GTI lately in order to increase the value of your 'base model' mk5 GTI when you swap it for a Jap  :smug:   :grin:

I fancy a Nissan.
