As a manager in a VW dealership can you comment on the reason why UK GTi and GTD's don't have fog lights? Surely you must know.

So I can order a GTI Performance next week

As Abraham Lincoln once said - you should only believe half of what you read on the internet!

12 weeks delivery = late July or early August

Edit: Oh wait - does that mean they won't build them until week 22?

Latest supply update has Golf GTI as 19 week delivery for a manual and 21 weeks for a DSG........

Oh well... I guess I should be looking at winter tyres then

Yes beware of the classic over promise and under deliver from dealers who haven't a clue

Can evo1986 also answer why Sport & Sound is not an option on the FL7.5 please?
Sport & Sound + front fog lights make the Mk7 GTD, so it seems a backward step for the FL7.5!

I'm guessing by the lack of reply to my post before but he answered posts after mine that the answer is, not a clue
