GTI Edition 40 / Clubsport Thread

[Cruiser]

Article numbers presumably are based on cars actually delivered. So given it only goes to August it would exclude the 100 manuals (all Sep delivery) meaning we'd be past 50%.

Except Carsales is still showing 1 manual available, funny though that if you try and choose a location it then shows 1 available in every state and territory.

You just did this to get all of us to go and check our cars! And it worked on me anyway. Thankfully I have 2 badges. I wonder where yours went?

Haha I'm glad that you have both your badges anyway, I just can't believe that I didn't spot it myself before. I'm not sure, there is no sign of any adhesive left behind so I'm thinking that it was not fitted in the factory, not a very German thing to do. I'm going to the dealer today to see what happened. I phoned them on Saturday about it and the guy was making out that it was there when I picked it up, as he checked it personally before delivery, but luckily I have a picture taken on the day, of me next to the car on the drivers side and no badge is visible.

LMFAO

Was about to go out till I remembered I have 100+ pics of the car already, there should be at least one from each side. And yes, I have the GTI badge left and right.

NSNO: Most strange that you miss one, although it would be a motivation for me to remove the rest. I honestly look the car looks so different and special that the GTI badges spoil the fun. Everybody is "oh niceee... which VW is this??" at the beginning, then they spot a GTI badge and they are "oh it's the GTI, ok I know that". And then you have to go no, you don't... GTI's aren't so handsome silly, this is a different version, yeah I know it says GTI but... blah blah blah... Happened to me a few times already

I think a debadged Clubsport would look the business and totally like a mystery Golf...

Haha yes I suppose that is another option that I could go down. Yes it would have been nice if they had maybe put a GTI bade followed by a 40 instead. It does look quite clean actually on the side without the badge so definitely something to consider.

I like the side badges on mine. However my car is white and the predominantly red coloured badge looks good against the white.

I'll be sure to check both of mine on Thursday when I pick her up, think the red badges will go well with the red paint

Probably a dealer trying to get hits for inquiries.

Jeez. This is going to be the first thing I check when I take delivery of mine!

Yeah I thought it might be the old bait and switch

Right so I now have two GTI side badges. I went to the dealer today and they stuck one on for me.

My manual 40ed delivery date might be brought forward to 24 September.

So excited!
