Yep the 18''s now just look like big 17's - well they did on the 07 plate on the GTI in the showroom and the 07 brochure i've just seen - all one colour and no longer polished with dark circles.
A step back wards me thinks!
-
Well if BBS have gone pop, I wonder who's going to make them.
-
Didn't notice it on mine, and mine is MY07. Will investigate...
-
Not sure if it's clear from my pics, opinions??

Deffo different from that and deffo 18" on the car (had a close look) and the brochure.

Oh well, at least mine are 2 tone! I do like the effect. Time to re-start the old heart...
-
oh noooooo :angry: Please say this aint true?!! I'm due delivery of my new GTI next week. It would have been built 2-3 weeks ago.
@ wantmygti -when was your car built??
-
Seems odd so late in MY07 model year whenMY08s normally build in May arriving here in June.
Any chance of getting a photo?
I know the broucher has had that bad photo in for over a year now.

Brochure and reality looked mighty similar to me i'm afraid! If it were me and i used the online configurator which shows the dog bollock wheels and i got the 17 look alikes id certainly want a change!

Current online brochure from VW uk site here:
http://www.vw.co.uk/assets/pdf/golf_hatchback_brochure.pdf
They do look like all silver without the grey inserts. Just checked my 2006 brochure and it is the same pic !
Ordered my car in July 2007 and got a MY 2007 spec delivered on 25 September - my Monzas have the grey inserts though :smiley:

The pic on pg 16 isn't actually showing the Monza II rims. Look at the clearance of the brake calipers! I guess they couldn't be ar$ed to photo a "real" Monza II, and so put a pic of the 17" Monza, hoping no one would notice! :grin:

Simlar story here, ordered ours end of April 06, build week 26/06, arrived at stealers in July, and took delivery on 1st Sept. It defo is a 2007 model year - you can tell from the 10th digit of the VIN. The 18" Monza IIs defo are high polished, lacqured outer face, and anthracite grey painted inners.

Mine was built mid december

oops - tail between legs take it back storm in a tea cup! :lipsrsealed:
Went to the dealer today to drop off my private reg stuff and i asked the salesman about the car - apparently the car was a demo model and they scratched the wheels - so when they sold it they did the new owner a 'favour' and had them repainted - so now the poor car has 17" lookalikeies - poo!!
aha well fun while it lasted! :grin: :wink:
-
lol...all that fuss!! :grin:
I was up there earlier as well, dropping off insurance stuff...mine arrived at the yard on Wednesday :cool:

Cheapskate dealers - they could have sent them spit and polish who would have done a good job on them
I saw my first Edition 30 on the road today - Steel Grey 5 door - looked LUSH
