Just wondered if anyone else with a mk6 GTI has noticed the holes in the front wheel arches.

They are obviously manufacturer holes but I was wondering if they should be covered with a bing or cap.

The holes arent present on standard golf mk 6 models. I am guessing it is because of the fog light layout on the gti and gtd models.

If anyone has a mk6 gti and can have a little look at the front wheel arches (inside the wheel arch behind the foglights) then please let me know if yours are left open or covered.

I dont expect VW to just leaves holes in the car but I also dont expect them to forget to put bits on.

Quite a common problem.

The fog lamp rear covers/inserts are missing.

Get your dealer to put them on for you.

I had one missing from new and the dealer sorted it, quite a few others on here have reported one or both missing.

Can you take a pic of this ?

You really can't miss it if you look under the front wheel arches behind the fog lights. There should be a plastic/rubber cover approx 10 x 15cm under each wheel arch.

See previous threads.

Bet you've already looked. If they are missing you may need new fog lamps in the not too distant future.

By the way Kevin, please don't be be such an idiot all the time.

I was trying to be helpful, certainly won't be bothering with you again.

Thanks guys. I'll be having a wee word with my dealer.

Went in to see them on Wed and the 'Service Manager' told me that they were supposed to be open. I figured this was wrong.

I also had thought about if this would accelerate the wear or damage of the fog lights so figured I needed an answer.

Thanks again for the help
