Should VW have put these on the MK5??

I know vw has tried to 'go back to it's roots' with the mk5 and used (Nicked :wink quite a few styling tips from the MK1.

I spotted these aftermarket decals for the mk5 (and other mk's) on the bay. Do you think vw should have had these as standard???

By the way…….I like em.

P.s Did you spot the reflection of the mk1???

thats nice  :mrgreen:

Sorry Gents, IMHO they're not all that! ops:

I like it   Cheap as well …..

Would look nice on any GTI …….Well spotted ………

i wouldnt take them off if they were on when i bought it but i wouldnt pay to put them on . definatly not as smart as on a mk1  8)

Anyone spot the white MK1 in the reflection on the first photo?

They need to be higher up IMHO, they are too close to the sill. On mk1s the top of the stripes is level with the bumpers and gives continuity around the car.

I'd like to see what it looks like with the stripes there in favour of the door protectors…

Cheers,

nice idea but why not have wide stripe at top and thin stripe below, same as original ?

Can't make my mind up on this one, wud have to see in the flesh I think!

One thing though, proves they got it right with the MK1! 8)

hhmm, I not sure either but I do know they're upside down!!!

mayb they ought to re-consider the wheels too, n do somethin more similar to the original gti's, mayb they should just convert back to the old shape, full stop!! i dont really like the styling of the mk5, stripes or no stripes  8O but hey it's still a golf!


  o n i am new to this, lol, whats IMHO please somebody!

IMHO = In My Humble Opinion

i thought it was 'in my honest opinion'  :dontknow:

you learn something everyday.  :mrgreen:

like just yesterday i learnt that the austin healey 3000 mk2 had a started button, but the mk3 did not.  great fact!

I think it looks cool 8)   Agree that they should be the same width as the mk1 ones though
