RedRobin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^ Don't those Mk6 rear light clusters look so much better when all darkly tinted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 RR, any more photos of that red one? I'm kind of liking that colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 ^^^ Agreed. Those zorsts look better too - in keeping with the rear dimensions I also like the retro side stripes which look just like the ones originally on the MK1 as I remember. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeTeeEye Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do we know when it will be available to buy ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Do we know when it will be available to buy ? ....If you are asking about the Mk6 GTI, it already is available to buy. My VW dealer has already got an order for one [not from me]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 There is a bloke near me who has a MK2 GTi in the worthers original red colour, it looks stunning, despite the fact it's rotting on his driveway having not moved for years. I dont know if it's an original colour for a mk2 but I doubt it, does look great though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 What a gorgeous red that colour is; really deep and lush. Hope the R20 comes in that colour Can't get my head around the back end of the MKVI still. Looks so dull compared to the MKV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetboy Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Can't get my head around the back end of the MKVI still. As mentioned many times in this thread I can't stand the rear lights but dare I say those smoked ones on the white GTI that RR posted look rather nice...

RedRobin Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ^ Looking good, except that personally I'd prefer it without the striped bonnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Doe Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ...given the MkV Golf's claim to fame as being one of the (if the not the) fastest cars in the world could anybody confirm if the new one will be faster??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ^ Don't those Mk6 rear light clusters look so much better when all darkly tinted? The Mk6 GTI has got darker rear lights than the stock Mk6, but yes, those look pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 I saw a white MKVI 2.0 TDI today, which gave me a hint of what the GTI would look like, as I still haven't seen one in the flesh. It looked pretty nice with it's contrasting tints. The front end is growing on me, but as MB says, the back end ain't pretty. The photoshopped R20 that AutoCar created looked superb, so IMO, that's what the MKVI needs - it should have been more hardcore and sporty. Still waiting for my test drive appointment, VW.

Mook Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 it should have been more hardcore and sporty But what scope would that leave for them to build a smaller run, more hard-core car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mook Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Aye Right, I've seen, felt and touched and driven a red (not my choice) Mk6 GTI with ACC today. More this weekend. Very, very good car and the interior is a mile ahead of the Mk5. Pretty much the same look and feel, but the quality is more that of the Audi A4 in terms of the plastics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRobin Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) ^^^^ Not at the moment, Geoff, but I'll keep my eyes peeled . I've heard that Fire Spark metallic red is only on promo cars, but that's only hearsay/rumour.

Snoopy Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) I think your right. Its a shame as i have always liked candy apple type reds, i had hoped it was listed as an option in Germany but i could not find it, shame. We had an Ibiza GTI16V in a metallic red i spend far longer and much more often cleaning and looking at it than any other car we have owned simply due to the colour.

RedRobin Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 ^^^^ It's interesting that absolutely everybody says they love Fire Spark red, not just on TSN but all over the net. Surely if VW made it a customer option, they'd sell more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 (edited) Another pic from that show. Just a shame its not of a golf or that red one lol. Im sure i will find more in time lol. Edited May 22, 2009 by Snoopy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 That firespark red does look good but my eye is continuously drawn to the red trim on the grill which clashes with the colour in my opinion. It's a bit like the saying goes that gingers shouldn't wear red jumpers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
