You're going to have to look awful hard to tell the 18s from the 17s when the car is moving.

Of course, if gazing admiringly at it while it's sitting in your driveway is the height of your ambition, I guess £415 is a small price to pay....  :tongue:

Rolfe.

You can tell from the arches fairly easily. If anyone pays £415 your got ripped off. Let me guess Rolfe, infact I can almost gurantee you went for the 17's didnt you ?

Hadn't even been released 5 years ago mate. And as for the facelift, that's exactly what the mkvi is isn't it....

are you sure it wasnt a scirroco  :wink:

what did it sound like outside then? does it still have the noise of the MK5 or is the engine as quiet as rumoured when on a drive past?

Ok, maybe 4 years then, was it not rel 2005 ?

Of course its a facelift, I've had to learn myself to say this, cause if I don't I'm having to fight off about 15 mk5 owners all at once.  :grin:

unfortunately it was only doing about 15-20 mph as it was in town and its on a busy street so couldn't hear anything like that.  i will say though (and obviously we are all biased on here) it totally stood out from the crowd, most people on the street you could see were having a cheeky glance and muttering 'flash (unt' under their breath lol

Niiiiiiiiiiiice! I've only seen one - a white MK VI GTi heading northbound on the A80 last Sunday.

It did stand out, though. Personal preference would still be a darker colour, though  :nerd:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

Good point tyrerc. The one I test drove was very quiet in comparison to the mkv exhaust which is hardly amazing anyway.

Still, think that's what be have tried to do, make it more refined and more main stream.
