• VW Golf Side indicators mystery 20 May 2005 (Forum)
  Here's a funny thing. Driving into the office this morning I noticed that the new Golf appears to have dispensed with the little amber side indicators located on the side wing. All other cars seem to have these. Am I mistaken or is this a bold new design initiative?
