Mk7.5 front bumper redesign complaint

In the market for a new car, and of course mk7/7.5 is on the shortlist.
My only complaint about the mk7.5 is this stupid crease that they've designed on the front bumper.

I've went and photoshopped away the crease on a few photos and I think it looks a ton better.

It took me way longer than I care to admit to find the crease in question lol. I have a pre-facelift, so I'm not as intimately familiar with all the lines on the 7.5, but I can't say this one ever stood out to me in any way (good or bad).

That said, your adjusted version does have a slightly cleaner look overall. But I don't think it's better or worse either way; just different. Far from being a deal breaker.

Go for a GTI! You will not regret it.

I still have no idea what crease is dude exactly talking about. I was staring at his pics while staring at my car. Now my car thinks I’m crazy

Lmao! Its the small crease above the top of the black fog light surround. Really inconsequential imo lol

It's just my opinion, you don't have to like or dislike the crease.
I just put this out there because I was curious how it would look like.
i think is looks really good with it edited out... if i ever do paint work on my front bumper i will definitely fill and blend that crease first.

Never really noticed it before, and yeah, your edit does look a bit better, but I have no issue with the crease.

Oh, and that first pic is mine ;)

i like the crease. ties in with the sharp lines on the hood and doors. you can always buy a mk7 vs mk7.5 if you dont like the sharper angles

Yes doing away with the "crease" makes the bumper much cleaner. But never bothered me on my MK7.5.
Any MK7/7.5 front bumper cover look 100% better than the MK8 with the huge dog bone looking opening
and squished looking headlamps.

And the fog lamps two large Xs do all auto makers say to the designers. We want you to style the ugliest car you
can, Betting it will sell? Or is VW attempting to do away with the Golf and GTI line and just build suvs?
