They do nothing for me.... completly pointless. 
They look like they have just developed a fault but I suppose we're stuck with them now :sad:

They're a damn sight easier to see compared to some rear indicators which are lost within the rest of the lights.

Sweepy indicators I absolutely love. I'd only had my GTD a few months when Audi introduced those. I've never had such a rush of new car envy ever! I noticed Ford Mondeos have them on the front now too.

I'm surprised sweeping indicators are allowed for safety reasons. I find them much trickier to see than a flashing indicator and actually think they look a bit knaf.

but not feeling those Spielberg alloys.

Totally agree. Personally love the Cadiz alloys and good to see that's still the standard alloy.

If you can't see sweeping or dynamic indicators the lenght they are on VW and Audi then it's time to get your eyes checked and seriously I mean that.

I'm not saying I can't see them!! I'm saying they are "tricker to see". BTW, I have perfect 20/20 vision!

That silver white R looks awful IMO.

Looks just like a tdi R line..  Wheels are shocking.  I think VW have clearly with the gti and R given them some awful wheel options hoping people will upgrade.

vAG have list  the plot lately the wheels on the TTRS are also awful.

I don't understand how they would be less visible. Surely a blinking and moving orange light is more eye catching than one that is just blinking. :huh:

I've not actually seen the Golf's sweeping indicators but if they are like the Audi's then I personally think they are not as clear.
