Just been told by a friend who has seen the Aberdeen one (silver, 5 door) that the side skirts have been removed from the UK spec. Now that i look at the photos that Koop took, it is clearly not to be seen their either! Hmm, i think i liked them, but will report back when i have seen it in the flesh tomorrow!

^^^^ there is a silver one in  Vw Wolverhampton, i viewed the other day and i thought there wasn't something quite right about it but couldn't put my finger on it. It looked like a standard golf bar the Monza II's
GTI manual PP, now sold  :-(

No side skirts is a poor show from VW UK.

Popped in to Mann Egerton Exeter yesterday, had reflex silver 5dr mk6 gti in showroom with 17" monzas  :sick:, the car definitely had the swirly sideskirts ahead of the rear wheel.

Been to my local dealer this morning, silver 5dr, DSG, Leather, Reverse Camera, MFW, RCD 510/MDI, Monza 18 shadows & a few other bits...........£27,860!!!

I'm not that keen on the shadows though, a bit too glossy!

I'm going back on Monday, when I think I'll be specc,ing 3 door, DSG, Leather, Xenon, reverse Cam, convenience pack, highline, RCD510 with MDI & a Sunroof.....(Don't ask)

Overall the MKVI feels so much nicer inside than my previous ED30, but I have 2 big choices too make, firstly colour.......Carbon grey, Steel grey (Same as my ED30) or Black as my R32 & other MKV GTI.

Secondly, do I hold back on the GTI & take the unregistered run out R32 they have in steel grey/leather etc..... for almost £10K less than I'm gonna be spending on a new GTI??

Ridicules   :rolleyes:

I just cant see where VW are going to get their sales from. That EASY S3 money, and no matter how you put it the S3 is a better car.
