Be it as a comfortable six cylinder car with leather seats, a limited edition, a four-wheel or two-wheel drive or a petrol or diesel engine: the Golf III is a car for every taste – but virtually each one is different from the other.
 
An eye-catching extra that looks good on every one of the four million plus units, are the new headlights from in.pro.

The integrated indicators are also a cool eye-catcher.
