GTI Edition 40 / Clubsport Thread

[Cruiser]

Saw the exact same thing and wondered... My Type R had this and adds more uniqueness to the car. The ED40 does not have this in Oz and doubt it does anywhere else... its an S thing.

Oh well guess I'll just have to live knowing that I'm 1 of the lucky 500 owners that managed to get my hands on one. I'd also be interested to know of the colour breakdown of the 500 that will arrive in oz, anyone care to guess? My guess would be 45%White, 30% Carbon Steel & 25% Red.

Picking mine up tomorrow or Tuesday and new rims will be bolted on immediately after that. They're Advan Raving RS-DFs in Gloss Black. Will post picture as soon as I have it. Can't wait!!

My white manual w/ sunroof will be in the country 15 September

I picked up my grey DSG with sunroof last Monday.

I took it for a little drive on Saturday up to Hornsby Heights and over to Galston, up to Berowra Waters and took the ferry across to the other side. It was great fun and I had big smile on my face.

ordered mine White DSG without sunroof on the weekend.

Should be picking it up ..hopefully end of this week as the dealership need to do a swap with another dealership..

CAN'T WAIT!!!

Not sure if this has been posted: another reason for Oz owners to weep about our poor wheel selection (what were they thinking??), name (40years...really??) and seat selection (ditto). The SA version in red with nice rims, name (Clubsport!), and proper sports seats looks the business (this presenter is also v entertaining):

Now this is how a GTI should look and go, ABT Golf GTI Clubsport with 340 hp

Just took delivery of her today. She's parked next to her big sis. Btw still contemplating whether I should keep the stock wheels on or not coz they do look quite good.

Congratulations. I've got to say the "Ruby" wheels are growing on me but for the red one I'm getting they've gotta be gloss black, thinking a red pin stripe round the rim would set it off nicely.

Congrats on your new acquisition. That's a cracking photo of her parked next to the sister.

If you like the wheels then keep them as original helps to identify the SE unique quality. I personally don't mind them at all. Some don't like the Santiago wheels on the PP but I think they look good as do many others who have commented when seeing them. Beauty is a personal thing.
