Title: Any additional spec on a 2007 GTI?
Post by: Dan.b on May 30, 2012, 11:20:31 pm

Evening all,

As above really. Is there any additional standard spec that a 2007 model gets over and 05/06 model?

Thanks.

if anything it loses spec, i.e blue tinted windows and i think less speakers.

06ish VW started money saving

Mine is a 2005 and I have ten speakers.  :happy2:

SO how many speakers do later models have and where did you lose them?

Later models get 8 speakers (earlier get 10), get green tints, acquire a roof aerial (earlier models its in the rear window), reflector fog lights (earlier had projector), different ACC panel (gained a dual button and even later changed econ to AC) and I think the rear boot mech became 2 piece around then aswell. I'm sure there's some other changes but that's all I can remember ATM.

Also I think the leather went from dark grey to black at some point aswell

the early versions didn't have a 3D boot emblem, but not sure when this came in... my 08 has one.
