The Belgian tuning company Caractere plans to offer a styling kit for the new Golf GTi that is somewhat similar to what it gave the standard Volkswagen Golf 6 months ago. The new aero kit is finished in PURim technology.

The visual appearance as well as its safety is greatly improved. Caractere’s body kit, which emphasizes the vehicle’s aggressive stance, features a complete re-styled front bumper offering improved airflow through its larger air intakes, new rear spoiler with exhaust, sport or classic roof spoiler and a set of side skirts. For certain, the brand’s unique CW1 wheels, which are available in 19 and 20-inch sizes, are standouts. Caractere is also offering a LED lights option. The new kit will be available in the market in spring 2010. Photo gallery after the jump!
