Good photos of white GTI and GTD side by side and think personally (biased maybe!) the GTD with Nogaro shades it. But fine details think both look great in white

Great pictures, nice find thanks

That GTD does look nice in that colour gotta be honest!

Until the rear end gets covered in soot from the ol' bag of nails 

Just messin', great find, some of the best photos there's been IMO.

It'll actually be us GTI drivers with the soot issue. The tailpipes on my mk6 GTD are always spotless, I do wonder if anything comes out of them at all!
The mk5 GTI pipes were always going black and I believe the mk7 will be the same.

Got to agree with that - the only upside to DPF.

The GTI in St Albans tailpipes were covered to point could not see chrome on left pipe at all - do have a photo that will post later but I thought strange at time as this not an issue on my A3. Someone said the petrol are run rich to save engine wear?

But it does seem that the GTI is one that exhudes soot

Yup, I see a few GTI's with black tail pipes, but then I also see some where they look clean, just not as polished.  Even the ones on my Mk5 are pretty much as I'd expect.  Just whip around them with some soapy water and polish on a bathroom scourer once a week to stop the build-up.

Comparing THE hat hatch with a diesel is very funny, thanks
