So if I read that correctly, if you want xenons on a MY15 GTI you MUST order PP?

Wow, am i reading that right that you can no longer get the Bi-Xenon lights on the standard GTI?
Makes me even happier i got it now

If you want bi-xenons, you need to order the Performance Pack or the R, yes.

Glad I got xenons on mine now!

Wow, so relieved I got bi-xenons! VWA you b@stards! haha. At least it'll make ours look a bit more exclusive.

Overseas forums have hinted that the 1.4 engine has been tweaked slightly (140ps to 150ps). It's only a few kilowatts but I thought it would have got a mention

Also, congratulations VW on removing yet another blue colour from the range and leaving only shades of grey or red.

[Dutch77]

Makes sense - keeps the PP as a higher specced model and with them being included as part of the deal it will help the PP buyers out at resale time. Although if I had a desire for xenons I'd then be forced to accept 19s.. and I'm guessing no sun-roof (not that I want that either).

The 40 year decal is clearly a bold move.

UK user SonicAaron mentioned his dealer advised him of this in the ordered thread - seems to be happening then.
