Highlines had leather, air con, traction control. Things that would be accepted as general mod cons now.

Think the differences were...
standard fogs/
had traction control,
air con,
different vr6 badges (slightly smaller rectangle ones)
15" bbs solitudes like the gti colour concept instead of normal vr6 cross spoke ones.
They had a wooden gearknob.
They were in black metallic or that mullberry colour (matching leather) (heated probably) (and carpets? ,...i dont know)?
I dont know it there were any other differences...?

I could have missed out loads.

But Probably my age but my insurance company wanted £50 more a year for a highline than a normal vr6, same year/ same value etc.... same group though i think.

think they ran from April 1995 for a bit.

BAscially heated seats, traction control and leather, as the others were available as extras on the gti's and vr6s.

Traction control along with ABS was standard on all VR`s after 95 no idea if the earlier ones were all equipped with it..
