I like red although TR is more vibrant. But VWUK tend to be very conservative with the colours, what will we get? More of the same?

I've fallen for the MK8 GTI now, I think it looks fantastic.

The only small thing I do not like is the placement of the rear GTI badge. But I guess in time you will get used to it.

Im hopefully going for the TCR or Clubsport version (whatever they decide to call it)

Going to let the first few batches go through for all the mis-builds and small niggles to be ironed out before seriously thinking about ordering.
Currently: MK8 GTI Clubsport - DCC - Reflex Silver - Adelaide 19"s - Rear Camera

You really should stop smoking that stuff, it’s doing you no good at all  :laugh:

Only joking.

Still no Mk8 GTI, not even on the German configurator yet.

I don't think we've even seen one yet with real production wheels on it either.
