No expense spared eh? Not even on colour coded door handles :lipsrsealed:

Don't think they do the GTI in "sage" green eh?

Personally, i'm not too fussed with the wannabe look. I'm sure its appealing to young drivers, who want the GTI look but can't run the GTI costs. Personally i'd have people mod smaller litre cars like an GTI/R32 than to tear about in Carzone bodykitted MKV's. Now that will really shame the MKV!

Oh my i have embarresed myself lol! I think yes you do have a point ofcourse with everything else that differs but i dont think a normal person, would be able to tell the difference if that drove by or another REAL GTI were to drive buy :)

and whats wrong with diesel? mines tuned putting nearly 200 bhp and shed loads of torque = very quick car that still gets nearly 50 mpg and even sounds nice with the miltek

What I was getting at is that a 1.9 SE TDi is going to be where near as a quick as the 2.0T petrol engine of the GTi, thus making anyone who is sitting inside it think "How slow is this GTi!".

what a tit, why on earth you would badge up your 110 bhp TDI as a GTI is beyond me, you might consider it if you had a GT TDI 170 DSG but you'd have to think there must be a reason VW created this whole new GT range  :rolleyes:

I just don't understand what's in some people's heads - Just wannabe's I suppose. I saw a silver Mk5 TDI the other day just with 18" Monzas. It looked okay but that alloy design is unique to the GTI and very much part of its iconic identity, and so I felt mildly offended.
