I go with the old adage if it ain't broke, don't fix it, so why did VW 'fix' something?

Hurrah!

Does that mean I have an "allie" ??  :grin:

You can add me to the list as well T_T, I don't see the point or like the look of these either.

I have an early version with the four or so half open vents and they look daft.  Someone at work came up to tell me that they were 'broken'  :rolleyes: maybe they found that the open vents did not achieve whatever it was they were designed to do in real life and since they look stupid VW made them all solid?

Which is basically my rationale behind this whole discussion!  :smiley:
