Probably being saved for the Ed45 (or whatever they call it)?

"Sticker and exhaust pack"

But yes unique styling is somewhat missing.... maybe its not about a badge though ;-)

If you consider the clubby as the Mk8 "GTI Performance" and look at the differences between the old Mk7 GTI vs GTI Performance.... how many visual things were there?

Red calipers with GTI stickers on them and a red GTI badge.

Later on they stuck red badges on everything too!

Now the clubby has... different tailpipes, different nose design and different spoiler and a black stripe down the side.

It doesn't have CLUBSPORT written on it though, any more than the GTI Performance had a big boot sticker saying

P-E-R-F-O-R-M-A-N-C-E

The difference is there for the Golf fans to know, it doesn't need to shout about it, its not a BMW  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
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

Fair point, but I saw the GTi performance as an option pack, not a different model

What I meant was, isn't there another version of the current Clubsport coming out, ie Ed45 (or similar name)? If so, they may have more stickers on it (amongst other things of course).
