How the MK4 VRs should have really looked?

Featured Replies

I don’t hate the rear wing - ditch the silly lip spoiler and mount it an inch lower like the BMW GTS ones and maybe I’d forget it was FWD for a second.

The fitment is iffy, the wheel choice questionable, the F1 rain light a non-starter and I love how the kit completely ignores the body lines.

The issue is, despite OP clearly attempting to rage bait, he’s just missing the point. If you want DSG farts and a Maxton diffuser, buy a Golf R. If you want a track weapon, get a GTI CS. VAG make a performance-ish MQB car for everyone - the vRS is the practical, understated, all rounder.

FYI - unlike some vRS owners here, I’m in my 20s. This doesn’t look good.

The only cosmetic stuff these cars need is a Rieger rear diffuser with some proper exhaust tips. Aside from that, I like it how it is. Nobody is buying a widebody for a GTI, let alone a vRS.

I'd love to see a VRS running in the British or World Touring Car Championships with a kit like that.
I'd feel a bit of a **** driving to Sainsbury's in it though.

TBQH it's ideal for a track day car, but for real world driving it's simply asking for trouble in that it would attract all of the wrong sort of attention (Police, Insurers, Thieves), but it would run into problems with a lot of roads with speed humps/ramps in them as some are quite high so it would possibly ground on those.

Then there's the thorny issue of parking in a car park, particularly multi-storey ones with all of those narrow spaces & concrete pillars.

It looks nice as a concept but for real world use it's flawed.

And as someone who's approaching 60 I'm not quite in the definition of pipe, cap & cardigan brigade, I'm still in the floor it once in a while brigade who doesn't tolerate ditherers, dawdlers and late indicators.
