Thank's, that was what I have seen up to now, I just wondered if I had seen the ones without.

That's a bit of a pain, I habitually use the front sensors, it's hardly a weight saving measure on the CS40 if you can order a 5 door with sunroof!

Yea its definitely a strange one mate, maybe something to do with the different shape front bumper?

It must be to do with bumper shape or just plain cost cutting.
Because of the low numbers made VW won't have bothered engineering in anything that would have cost them much.
The specs on the cars are odd.
Ambient with leather but not with normal cloth seats.
No winter pack with normal cloth seats.
Hit and miss whether you get red edged belts...
And so it goes on.

The only ones I've seen photos of with front bumper sensors were retro-fitted. Apparently an easy job and a good idea if it's a daily driver. There are lots of things sticking out of the front bumper that are easily damaged if you're a bit tight on space. I tend to try and leave about a six foot gap when manoeuvring!  :grin:

That is one stunning looking car. I'm slightly jealous to be honest :cool:

Weird how the UK cars don't have the red trim on the seatbelts. All the Irish cars I've seen have that, regardless of spec / seats.
The lack of ambient lighting would annoy me - you'd wonder why the hell that was omitted.

Gorgeous looking car regardless though  :cool:

Thank you for the kind comments. Less than a week in but very happy so far - first ever VW and first hot hatch for many years. After a slightly dull 18 months with an S4, I'm hoping to recreate the fun and excitement from my Mk2 Peugeot 106 Rallye days back in the late 1990's!

The red trim seat belts only seem to come with the bucket seats option in the UK and as far as I am aware the ambient lights are not fitted to the clubsport(weight saving probably)
