High-end wheel makers like Vossen often tend to work on nothing but exotic sports and super cars. But every once in a while they get busy with a more down to earth car and lift it up to a whole new level. This lovely Toffee Brown Golf GTI is a case in point.

Having been involved in a crash early in its life, the Toffee Brown Golf GTI has undergone a major makeover in which it received not just a new look and a new set of wheel, but also a serious performance boost from AWE Tuning including stage 2 software, carbon air intake, and performance exhaust system.

The crash had destroyed the car’s tailgate, so it now features a custom one with all the emblems and trims deleted and standard GTI taillights replaced with Golf R’s LED units. As for the wheels, they are Vossen’s own limited-edition VLE-1 in gunmetal grey with red center caps and brake calipers, complemented with H&R coilovers.
