VW Golf VII GTi - Rocket Bunny Bodykit by Sidney Industries

Sidney Hoffmann and his guys around the Sidney Industries team and the foil professionals from Check Matt Dortmund have published a joint project that we absolutely have to show you. For the tuning, a VW Golf VII GTI was used as the base vehicle, which was also in connection with the built-in Rocket Bunny Bodykit by Pandem that we had a few days ago Preview The world's first 7 Series Golf of this type was already allowed to virtually inspect, because if at all the body kits are only available for the five-door but not for the three-door. After the tuning cure that the GTI was allowed to endure, it is now much more exciting, more individual and also more dynamic than the production version and looks almost twice as wide as the series, which should probably make the special appeal. If you are thinking of buying a VW Golf VII GTI in the future or already own one, Sidney Industries is definitely an interesting starting point when it comes to differentiating the vehicle from the production model. As for the changes made to the optics or the technology, we have already been able to find out the first details. As usual, we have listed what we know below in a summary. If you discover any further changes that we haven't listed, just use the comment box and let us know!
