It is mainly because of their uncommon look and great design and dynamic riding characteristics. Golfs have from the beginning until the last “fifths” line come through a long, but elaborate development, which can be seen already by the “thirds” line. By that time a nimble, good-looking and not so expensive car.
What else was needed. The other indubitable sign, that in Golfs is hidden something big is the interest of many tuning companies. Already from the beginning have people tried to modify their Golfs in some way, just to diversify from others. It is not a coincidence to see today so many modified Golfs with use of all manner of plastics, wheels and colours.
It could not be in different way also by the newest modified Golf. Concretely it is a case of the “fifth” generation marked GTI, which licked into a shape the home company Rieger.
„CLASSIC“ VOLKSWAGEN GOLF 5 GTI
VW Golf 5 GTI is the second most high-performance version of the model line Golf. Golf GTI is one of the few serial cars of this class, which offers its owner wilderness and style together.
Elements like lattice of cooler with structure of comb honey and red hem, noticeable rear spoiler, black extended side skirts, 17- inch discs, sporting wheel, sporting undercarriage (-15mm compared with Golf 5) and exhaust system with two endings are unchangeable sings, that it is a case of a sporting version of GTI (all of these elements are part of the basic “packet”). Nothing aggressive, more likely decent, but sufficient enough to be the high- performance GTI distinguished from the rest of VW production.
From this car is appropriately demanded a sound output. The word “sound” fits in, because Volkswagen car company offers for GTI 4V FSI engine “supported by a 2 litre turbo and honourable output of 200 hp (147 kW).
By this engine is a choice of 6- speed automatic DSG or manual transmission.

The difference is, that by “automatic” was by test measured acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h exactly 6,8 s and by “manual” it was 7,1 s. Not a big difference, but still :-).
Who wants to own a stylish and dynamic car, he should definitely grab Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI or his younger and more powerful brother VW Golf R32.
Serial VW Golf 5 GTI:
GTI BY RIEGER TUNING COMPANY
By Rieger, we are used to an optically- noticeable tuning. With a combination of tuning parts he can conjure out of every car a gem, which would not occur most of us by a “serial look” upon it. It was no other also by this GTI, on which Rieger showed his real qualities.
This reconstruction concerns the whole car, also brakes and carbon accessories.
Everything has begun by the front part. Here is characteristic the middle section, which mask is also part of. Together they make one piece, which is distinguished by wild black colour and red hem. This is indubitable sign, that it is a case of Volkswagen GTI. Front bumper was also changed, better its lower part. This was enriched by a lower spoiler, which is characterized by being more lowered on both sides.
To surprise us more, it is underneath ended by “pressure wing”, which is whether in body colour, or is carbon character. The last steps of front part modification are wrinkles of front headlights in body colour. With their help it seems, that the car “frowns”, which evokes even more aggressive impression of this modification.

All the openings of front part look, which are to bring cool air to front brake disks and to cooler, are serially filled with interesting lattice with honey comb pattern. All of these changes in combination with noticeable red bodywork colour will definitely attract many passers-by and will “make” them think about what he saw.
Side skirts are this modification´s delicacy. Beautiful dark-red colour of this GTI was probably not enough for Rieger guys and so like by the front part, also here they reached for so popular carbon. Carbon is also in the middle of side skirts entering them in kind of a furrow. It is ended with the opening, which is to bring cool air to rear disks. These side skirts also perfectly copy so exceptional and smooth, but also wild curves of Golf GTI´ s body.
Volkswagen Golf 5 GTI modified by Rieger Tuning:
Tuners have also played with the rear part, their customers have been offered two alternatives of rear bumper´ s attachments. Both decency sympathizers and provocativeness enthusiasts will like it.
The first option is attachment under rear bumper, which has in its lower side “a part” meant as a place, out of which go out a pair of duplex exhaust endings, from Rieger of course. Right for this “part” can customers choose, whether they want body colour or “part” of carbon material.
The second choice is about an attachment under rear bumper too, but in wilder idea. It is divided into many openings, which serves as a decoration and also to drain hot air from rear disks (concretely side vents, which look like branchias). Like by the first eventuality, also here stick out a pair of oval duplex exhaust endings. Final look of rear part fulfil serial wing.
Also the undercarriage site of this GTI has been changed, mainly in the disks and brakes.

The car is held on healthy 19-inch chrome wheels from Schmidt VN-Line with sizes 225/30 in the front and 225/30 in the back. After seeing the red stirrups it is clear that the disc brakes are present. In this case the breaks are made by renowned producer named Brembo in size 330x28 mm.
Finally guys from Rieger cared about details in the form of tinted rear window and rear side windows. There are also labels of companies that coact on this GTI tuning. They are placed at the door and the hood.
So what do you say? Rieger with this once again confirmed his qualities in car modifications.
