Picked up the Sportline today:
Already starting a list of "things to do" to it.
First off is going to be paint protection and some fabric protector for the seats.
Boot is going to need a LED to replace the globe and will also be getting a set of door warning lights but have to figure out how to get these wired up.
Other things on the to do list is to black out the bottom plastics and look at getting door and boot sill protectors.

Looks good! Welcome to the mk2 club. Are those 20” rims? Can I ask what the tyre size is?

235 45 R20, a very strange size imo...

Thanks! It took a little while because I wasn't convinced on the value of the Mk2 Tig initially. However the Sportline has everything in it that I'd want and then when the 1.8% finance offer came out I figured it was time to make change.
The Sportline is running Kapstadt 20x8 ET41 rims with 235/45 R20 Pirelli Scorpion Verde tyres. So slightly narrower rim/tyre combo to the R-line (though both are 20's).

Yes not so many tyres in this size unfortunately. And because it's not that common the prices will carry a bit of a premium.
Though good thing is you can get Michelin Pilot Sport 4S in this size

That's interesting, my Tig has 235/55 R18 Continental ContiSportContact 5.. I feel like the Pirelli will last longer but I would have thought all Sportline would be running the same tyre.

Exactly. It also gives me a good excuse to buy them as there’s not that many other good options.
