GTi GTD Demonstrators

[Bill_the_Bear]

It looked like the under side of the rear spoiler was actually blue rather than black as Bear mentioned on the car he saw which is a bit strange!

The red one was definitely black.  Could be metallic gets matching colour spoiler?  Or maybe the blue reflects? Hmm...

Overall i'm ashamed to say it didn't really blow me away but i'm pretty sure thats down to the colour as i didn't particularly like it and i think it will look a whole lot better in lighter colours like white, red, silver etc.

I reckon the night blue will come alive when the lights are on.  Particularly from the rear.  Then again white should look great at night too so....

Also I agree about not being blown away.. initially.  I still think the body kit could be a little bit more adventurous.  doesn't have to look like a VXR, but just slightly more different to the stock Golf and the mk6 GTIs would be good.  But, wait until you drive it!  It's such a good place to sit and you can feel its raring to get out on the road.

I like the fact that it's somewhat underwhelming!

Me too, however I think that white or red are the best colours for it.

Nothing better than driving a "wolf in sheeps clothing". I used to get regular use of my boss' Ford Granada Scorpio with Cosworth engine, the only giveaway as to the performance was the exhaust. Put nigh on everything else to shame on the road at the time.

Modified with a Sierra Cosworth engine, or the Cosworth tuned V6?

Same here, I like white cars in general, but the GTI pulls the look off so much better than most cars out there.  Red looks good, but is better suited to the GTD with its silver/grey accents.

Oh yes, a mate of mine had an old Sierra that he purposefully made look bog-standard, but under the skin it was a beast of a car!  Was great fun watching the faces of RS Turbo boy racers drop as they were left standing at the lights!

Cosworth tuned V6 2.9 150kW engine. What a car for an 18 year old to have had access to in 1993!

Used to regularly drive him to the airport for business trips and then have it while he was away. How I kept my license i'll never know. Took it up to 135mph on the M27 once (just quickly to see what it could do and straight back down to 80), and it had air conditioned seats!

135...80...both breaking the law!   Should have taken her further!

The grrrrr noise is nice though in third when floored. But yes blue is not on my shopping list.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that VW in Wolverhampton has a white GTI demonstrator in stock, just been to have a look at it and was throughly impressed.  Build quality was incredible, and on start up it sounded a dream.
