....My LED tails were made for VW by Valeo (one of their usual manufacturers) and specifically for the Mk5 Golf, but why aren't they on any production Golfs?

Those LED lights look cool.  Where did you get them from RedRobin? :cool:

As for the MkVI, i don't think it looks toooo bad and remember, this isn't the final production model, is it? :undecided: 

It will be interesting to see what they'll do to compete with other manufacturers to stay ahead of the game.  The next gti will have to be something special, as hot hatches seem like they have gone to another level.

An interesting read and some detailed pictures. I like the angle of the clocks, and noticed they are fitting the ACC system on it too! Can't wait to see a GTI, the bad news being I may want one!!  :wink:

The fuel guage looks a little too big - you'll probably be able to watch it on the GTI version  :shocked:

They should put in a boost guage instead  :laugh:

Is it just me.... or is there absolutely no chance of a 3.2 fitting in there! The 2.0 or whatever it is in the autocar pics look like a squeeze already  :sad:
