No way mate! The 19's are not exclusive to the GTI, also found on the GTD. At least you know its a gti first glance with the original wheels,plus your save a heap load of cash. Better off selling the gti wheels and buying after market wheels exclusive to you! Happy days

I would say this is a way better system and that its a shame the Golf R didnt get VAQ with Haldex, XDS+ kills the brake pads / discs and heats them up quicker during sports style driving.
The Golf R will probably understeer just like all the previous generation Haldex systems 

Thats quite a difference from an extra 10ps and the trick diff.

The Golf R posted a lap time of 8:14. also pretty impressive.

Just received some more tech info on the PP diff-lock system from Borg-Warner and hoping to run a more detailed tech feature in a future issue of Volkswagen Driver mag...  ;-)

...as suspected though, it is not suitable for a straightforward retro-fit because the gearbox needs to have suitable mountings, unless you swap the 'box as well, of course.. so best you specify it at initial order, rather than regret it later...
