The older fog lights with lenses were too costly, but not only VW saved
some money. Even Audi did. Compare old A6 and the newer A6 4F.
The ashtray cover of the earlier GTI is anodized plastic only.
I have retrofitted it and was a little bit disappointed when holding it in
my hands.
I was very sad that VW changed the window color while the R32' remains
blue . . .
