don't like the mattig polo, the bumpers look like they were made for a ricer...

*yuk*

Like the alumium steering wheel touch though

nice on board computer

Wanna have that

i'm feeling the Mattig front bumper, but the rest looks a bit stuck one.

Is it just me, or are the indicator lenses on the GT ever-so-slighty shaded? (Compare them with the Fun ones in the photos above).

If that's true, then we have three OEM rear clusters for the 9n:*
1) Standard - slighlty shaded reverse lenses, white indicators
2) Chinese - ditto for reverse, orange for indicators
3) GT.

* ignoring LHD/RHD differences

(BTW, I was (back) in my dealers this afternoon, and they swear blind there is a GTI coming out - not just the GT)

errrr..... YES, I thought everyone knew they were shaded.

Subtle, but one of the first things I noticed.

...and still not availiable on ETKA, so its unlikely to make it to production.

That's like the "silver bits" on the wheel though isn't it

I've been trying to find out some more info on those 2004 Cup cars, but can't find anything. There was a yellow one at Essen as well, from the looks of things. I guess it's something the same as the Lupo Cup, but even on VW's Motorsport site, I'm not seeing anything -- have missed something?

Deek.

Not sure about this "Cup 2004" business!
But the ADAC is to with Rallye Deutschland afaik.

Result!

They've got 150bhp -- and the Lupo cup cars had gti engines in them from what I recall so maybe, just maybe.... (draw your own conclusions, but I'm not mentioning GTI!)

Ooo i like the wheels on both of the cars

however, I like the little extras like the silver on the steering wheels and the chrome around the speed dials

Another question for some out there.. anyone know how to change the onboard computer so that it uses the main display and not the little one where the clock is?

I've been asking this for a long time with no luck. Last month my entire dashbord got to be replaced (no sound from it) and I asked if they could replace it with the one with the big display. No luck too

If you get it, please tell me, I am very interested in this!
