Oh dear Mr Chapple.
I can see the look he was going for with a rose tinted eye on the BBS RA styles fitted to older generation GTIs and VR6s but it failed. Far too fussy and complicated for a 21st Century Golf.
Still, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I think he mentioned Vossen were from Florida? Well, anyone who has spent more than a couple of hours in Miami will know all about Floridian automotive “style”
ETTO as they used to say on car forums.
I don’t get where he’s coming from about “marginal” ride quality on the standard dampers either. It’s a Golf GTI not a 2CV. The Clubsport has fantastic body control and feels well bushed and damped to me considering its power and speed handling capabilities. I’ve driven mine over some shocking surfaces on 19’s with no DCC and find it perfectly acceptable.
