I quite like the red stripe too.

Anyone notice the pikey lowering technique in one of the pics on the link Robin posted? Ratchet straps around the springs and arms?? Expect production to be usual "on stilts" ride height.

I very much like it, 5 door looks a good proposition for the misses' next broomstick.
Sideways yo!

I was actually thinking it may not need much lowering but that explains it.

I've just been reading VWVortex's FB page and apparently VW have said the stripe through the headlights could go as its still a concept and are seeing what peoples opinions are

I hope they ditch it.

x2, looks like a bumper stripe someone added to a MK2 XR2 = bloody awfull  :signLOL:

I'm not sure about the red stripe yet. Would like to see what it looks like on just the centre grill. Photoshop anyone?

Having seen that , I prefer it running through the headlamp , the grille only pic doesnt look 'right' somehow.

I had noticed the straps and wandered what they where, so thanks for explaining.

I like the look of it, but that 5 door looks slightly 1 series esque from a side view.

From EVO mag in Paris: http://www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/286729/updated_vw_golf_gti_revealed_at_the_paris_motor_show.html

So the Sport Pack should be around £900 which isn't bad for brakes and a trick diff fully factory supported (we'll ignore the 10bhp here as I'm sure most people who spec the sport pack will map it further and mostly take advantage of the big brakes and diff).
And the R might not be engineered in RHD, which is understandable as I don't think many UK buyers coughed up £35k+ in loose change for a shopping car when there are so many other more capable cars for similar money.

Could some photoshop both a double grill only stripes (like the MK6) and one with the ends turned up (like the MK5)?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Love the colour.

Isn't that the colour the ED35 was meant to come in but due to Fukushima they dropped it due to supply problems?

Really like Mk7 GTi and can imagine I'll be all over a Ed40 myself in 4/5 years, expect my Ed30 to be worth about £20 by then, if I'm lucky.

CW still works for me, even though the launch blue and red are pretty cool.
