Golf A4 Chassis & Audi A4 Touring Poster
While in Valley Forge I stopped into Jane's Books at the King of Prussia
Mall (Philly area). They carry ALL of the VW/Audi enthusiast books I know
of (VW Performance, VW Motoring, The Golf, VW Audi Car) and a shitload of
others. I picked up a poster of Biela's A4 BTCC racer there (BTCC Poster
Series) and also the new issue of Auto Motor und Sport (German).
In it were some great photos of the Golf 4. The headlights are indeed one
piece units with 4 pupils within it. It appears as if these headlights
contain the highbeam, lowbeam, foglight and turnsignal. It is all one
assembly similar in shape to the current Golf, but the pupil configuration
is like this.

The top of the 8 appears to be the turnsignal and the lower is the fog.
Inner and outer larger pupils must be high and low beams. Crazy.
At the rear is a bumper mounted license plate and trunk mounted SUV style
liftgate handle. To me this doesn't look that great, but it suggests a
possible SUV Syyncro setup with rear mounted spare tire. That way the
license plate can still be viewed. We'll see. I'd say more, but I can't
read German. I'll see if my wife can check anything on the VR6 engine (she
reads German a little). Later-G
