• The Golf GTI Rabbit Confetti, which is wrapped in Rabbit logos, rides on H&R VTF adjustable lowering springs and 19-inch Rotiform RSE wheels with Aerodisk wheel covers and has a Thule Canyon XT cargo basket.

•  The Jetta GLI Super Touring (above), done in collaboration with Fifteen52, and thus rides on Fifteen52 wheels, as well as getting K&W Variant 3 DDC coil overs, a sport spoiler, upgraded brakes and extended exhaust.
