It's all down to the age.

Both my 96' VR's have had no arches and body coloured side trims.

yeah for 95 the VR6 with arches and non coloured trims was an option (and very few were built) and then later scrapped the option all together!

I took all the trim off my GTI, I think they look cleaner without.
