Title: GTI owners manual wallet
Post by: MPS on August 18, 2010, 10:06:25 am
Hi I've recently treated myself to a shiny black mk5 gti but have a few minor niggles I'd like to sort out soon, one of which is this. Did the mk5 gti come with a leather gti wallet for the owner's manual or am I just dreaming - My car only came with the bog standard Golf one. Could someone confirm this for me and maybe put a pic up as well?

Thanks

Matt

Yup, the gti's wallet is leather bound with the gti emblem on the front.

My one came with a "normal" leather wallet. The fancy GTI one only came in after production started I think?

My GTI was registered in Jan 06 But is on a 55 plate and i've got the fancy one in the pic above.
I thought every GTI would've had the same.

Yep its a rip off. Mine was missing the book also and had to order a new one from VW as there were none on Ebay at the time. You do get the inserts also for your model year but still alot of money of a leather binder and some paper!

Yeah mine came with the rubbish normal Golf one (05 plate) but someone who worked at VW got me a GTI one   :innocent:  Odd that some have them and others don't...
