Looks nice,,, ;)
I was worried about the alloys from looking at the pictures and reading peoples' comments. Now I have seen in the them in the flesh I am really happy with how they look. :cool:

As someone else said, "Money well saved." :grin:

I bought new 19"  aftermarket wheels with tires for 1200£ instead. So now i have both 18" inch and 19" for the same prize. As if a should upgrade to 19" at VW.. :grin:

The 18" Seville wheels have appeared on the configurator, for both GTD + GTI, the diamond cut type but with the red pinstripe, not grey. Somethings wrong methinks.. :grin:

... I think it depends on the model you are buying and if there are LED headlights fitted.

High Beam Assist is for standard headlights (I think) and Dynamic Light Assist is for cars equipped with LED headlights. Did you try selecting the various options? Or speak to a dealer.

You need to tick the option for "Lane Assist with Dynamic Light Assist" - £630.

£630 quid gives you the camera that is used for lane assist/dynamic lighting/traffic sign recognition

Or if your car is DSG, you can have "Lane Assist Plus" for £1225 which adds Traffic Jam Assist and Rear Assist too.

The old "high beam assist" (that was cheap) is now not available on the Mk7.5.
Current: Mk8 GTI DSG, Adelaides, DCC, HUD, HK, Winter Pack, Rear Camera.. Aka "HMS Weasel"

Gone: 2017 Mk7.5 GTD,manual, NavPro
Gone: 2014 Mk7 GTD, manual, NavPro, DCC
