Bad News For New GTI/Ed30's....
« on: 12 February 2008, 13:03 »
The front grill mask is going to be body coloured instead of black!  :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: According to the VW website.

In my opinion such a revision greatly cheapens the style of the Mk5 GTI/Ed30. I see an increase in aftermarket products such as the carbonfibre front mask!

Hi Red Robin,

With all the links on this subject, I do believe the VW web & marketing departments have seriously screwed up.
I rang customer services today to confirm the Leather interior upgrades on the GTI (quoted NCO on web & at dealership) & they knew nothing about it, and were still quoting from the old prices.. ie “will cost you £1645 sir”.

Rubbish!!!!

I agree... all it ends up doing is obscuring that subtle red GTI line.

Perhaps they're trying to gradually devalue the looks of the MkV GTI in order that the MKVI looks more appealing  :laugh:
