There's a guy in my VW club who's actually thinking of buying a 2007 and changing them to < 2005 style. I wouldn't go that far myself. Eventually, they'll grow on me, I suppose........
Why, so he could have the 2.5L engine? If you retro-fit an '07 back to an '05, it's just an '05 with the 2.5L engine, cuz the new front/rear lights won't fit on the '05 fenders, u'd hafta replace everything. Itza nutty idea. Oh I forgot, u'd get the fabulous new cupholders, emergency brake and gauge pod.
