VW sold the rights to old models and the plans to a chinese company who are now re-producing them.

Be warned, the parts will never be up to VW quality, they are produced by a completely different company!

if it`s not from volkswagen, they can keep it in china... :biggrin:

Interior is cool,
And I like the mirrors :P

according to Cullen the mirrors do not swap out..

more pics

Holy Mercedes wheel, Batman!



There is a Golf 5 in the Norwegian VW-Audi club who has this badge on the rear end. Kinda cool, I think.

yeh, Cullen sells the badges too... they were all over w-see last year.. kinda played already

Hmmm strange but nice....

I wonder if it is possible to export the front fenders, motorhood, front and rear bumper...?

i like citi golf and and like this also....

guess what... another update

Oh, they shouldn't have.... no really.... :sly:

i don't mind the mk6look front, but the rear is terrible... looks almost home-made..

The tooling was shipped over from the USA in 1988 or 89, as mentioned. They started building stock lookalikes in 1991 (same year the Mk3 came out in Europe).

The Jetta King with the B4 Passat front end came out in 1995 ( a year after the B4's debut in Europe). It used the same Mk2 body with different bumpers, fenders, and a front end tacked on. Tail lights were slightly different but swappable. Dashboard was a modified Corrado unit. Basically all superficial mods.




(you can see the rear at the top of the pic too)

In 2004 the new Jetta King came out (I think this is the same year they discontinued the basic Jetta model which was still being made). The new King had different basic frame stampings to accommodate China-specific things (like the tail lights, seals, etc).







Now in 2010 we have the new model :)

OMG, this is really funny... For us at least, we don't have to buy this "things"

I like the dashboard and the doorcards, only the steeringwheel is a little ugly...

Am i the only one who appreciates the chinese Jetta's?....

I like the current front end, makes a good old car going further in a fresh shape, rear is a bit to think about, but still, not very fugly,..

I don't mind receiving 1 for free to sit on my driveway.....

same here, love the new front.. hate the rear

same here.. and kinda love the interieur.. :D

I travel a lot to China for work. Have been to the VW Shanghai factory about 1.5 years ago.

Trust me every part is made in China. All the Santana's are with a complete plastic interior instead of cloth.

I made some pictures of the cars I saw there. Going again in a couple of weeks and make some more pictures.
