Looks pretty much identical to my 3dr Flash Red pog except with 18" Detriots and a shark fin antenna (oh, and the steering wheel is on the wrong side...)

What's with the two aerials - shark fin and whip?

Ok, motorauthority. First, as someone else said before Detroits vs Denvers. Golf wheels don't fit Polos as far as I know. Second, look at the fog lights - vs |and the headlight housing, they are different from the Polo GTI. Then with the interior shots, looks like a stick shift there not DSG, which is the only option for the Polo. Also, flat bottom steering wheel is standard. If you keep scrolling across their picture gallery you will find other Polo shots are correct but for the GTI they just used the Golf GTI pic hoping they'd get away with it.

Peace.

Nope.

Yes, MkVI Golf has a different PCD to the 6R pog (5x112 vs 5x100) but it wouldn't be too hard to make some Detroits with 5x100. The pictures at the link below seems to suggest that VW used them for motor shows early on;

Yes, that looks like a MkVI Golf GTI fog assembly but from there upwards it's all pog. On the Golf the honeycomb grill looks different to the Polo. eg;



...and the door and rear panels are all wrong for it to be a Golf GTI. My guess is that the picture is an early production prototype pog with some franken parts from a Golf and the 5x100 Detroits which maybe they were going to use as standard...who knows?

Looks like a mix of the two GTI's to me?
Lower grill def looks like the same as mine, but think the headlight assembly
looks more like the Polo GTI and the wing mirrors def. look like the Polo range,
cant see any indicator clear lenses at the front
