Post by: swedishfireball on July 30, 2012, 09:54:24 pm: Never knew these existed! Quite like it apart from the interior trim which would make me want to poke my own eyes out :sick:

Post by: big al on July 30, 2012, 10:27:43 pm: I was talking to a mate at a show yesterday and we both said how nice these are.
I love the colour, would stick some nicer wheels on and lower it. But a great model, and looks to be a good example.
See many S3's in a similar colour and people are all over them. :happy2:

The Speed Edition was a project of VW-trainees in 2006. Only 200 were built: 100 in Lamborghini Orange and 100 in yellow.

I think it takes a super car to pull off such a gaudy colour....
Title: Re: Golf MK5 Orange speed Edition?! Oooer
Post by: andrewparker on July 30, 2012, 11:12:29 pm: I think the colour is awesome, just needs some careful contrasting with gloss black parts, and some decent rims.

The ad says its a TDI, but then lists it as petrol? Which is it?
Title: Re: Golf MK5 Orange speed Edition?! Oooer
Post by: MC71 on July 30, 2012, 11:29:12 pm: ^^^^ it's a GT TDI with the 140bhp 2.0 in it. Yes, add some black and t would look the dogs!!

:happy2:

Post by: SteveP on July 31, 2012, 10:29:58 am: I seam to remember this turn up on our club stand at a show once. It was originally a written off left hand drive car a guy in Manchester rebuilt as a RHD car :happy2:

Post by: MPS on July 31, 2012, 03:33:48 pm: The Fahrenheit edition GTI doesn't look too bad as it came with the Monza wheels, I think this looks sh*te because of the standard small ass wheels.
Title: Re: Golf MK5 Orange speed Edition?! Oooer
Post by: MPS on July 31, 2012, 03:36:00 pm: ....oops, I tell a lie the Fahrenheit wears the 18" Charlestons as standard

Why have they gone for that stock height in the US? Did VW think they would use it on their farms down south? :laugh:

That would look ok once lowered :happy2:
