The best looking Golf and then some.
I simply adore that car especially the seats.

LOL, someone appears to have hacked Askers account!

As far as I know Xenons was standard on the Addidas edition in Germany, and it was only available in Germany?

OEM parts swap?

Yep, you're right, Xenons were standard

Extra over GTI

Alloy wheels "Serres" 7 1 / 2 J x 18
Darkened tail lights with LED technology,
Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and cornering lights
Electrically adjustable lumbar supports in front
Heated front seats



and AFAIK no RHD ones were made, so looks like some sort of butcher job..

They are available in Australia, so it's likely an Aussie spec model.

They have Xenon as standard here in Australia too.  None had Halogen.

The plot thickens  :undecided:

I suppose we could actually email the seller and ask the story behind it.................but that would take away all the mystique!  :grin:

seats seem quite nice and colourful, but to me seeing the retro chequered style pattern on the standard cars evokes more emotion for me.
i think the exterior logo could have been done better, the Adidas logo could perhaps been made into a nice badge and put the opposite side where the GTI badge is, but instead you just get a cheap sticker.

apart from the alloys, the stickers and the seats, there is nothing that really screams out it being special to me. If Adidas had some sort of motorsport pedigree, then yes maybe the Adidas name would be worth more, or of there was something developed for the car to make it different say the engine or the suspension or handling to make it different, but it's a standard GTI car i presume?

Wasn't there the GTI Pirelli Edition? that had a more powerful engine if i remember rightly. that to me makes me think that Pirelli wanted to evoke the spirit of the Pirelli name in the driving so they said to VW "make the engine more powerful than the standard car". That would get me much more interested.

well that's what i think. at the end of the day, peel off the Adidas branding it still seems to be a GTI underneath which is a great car anyway.
