Anyone that doesn't like the stripe in the headlights could get a set from a GT and ebay the GTI ones.

Not sure how easy the GTI ones would sale as look pretty strange unless replacing a damaged unit but think I would be very tempted as would no way detract from being a GTI and in fact make a little statement to VW that was far from everyone taste come the MK8

Was at St.Albans VW today and finally saw the white GTI in the flesh and had a real good look around :)


That's the one I gave a good thrashing too  :wink:

So it is you responsible for all that soot on tailpipes then!  :grin: LT13 VXV is the plate and you can see she been well used as quite dusty on body and wheels/calipers and some tar marks etc.

Only seen TR before and the white certainly brings out the lines, many not even noticed before.

exactly the reason I didn't go for carbon grey and that was the upkeep of it. mines left on a busy main road at night and not garaged ever. if I had a garage or off road parking then it would have been different.

Seagull sh!te is my biggest concern - Seagulls everywhere around me. They feed from the Fish Quay then fly a quarter of a mile to my house to rest on the roof and have a sh!te all over the cleanest car they can see.

This is my only concern with the csg, it's off street but the seagulls round Hartlepool love my roof
