2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

Encouraging to see the German spec TCR comes with the 18" Belvedere wheels as fitted to the Clubsport Ed40. Good that VW are still producing them.

If I were to modify my PP. a set of Belvedere's and a Clubsport S back box is all I would need!

Quite like the new Reifnitz wheel too.

I recognise them but can’t place them. Have audi used them??

Although they are quite different, it's probably safe to say they got a bit of 'inspiration' from the 20" TTRS wheels which have an angular tick at the end of each spoke.

Like, maybe. But would you spec them for €2300 or whatever they are on the configurator?!!

The option in DE and BR doesn't just give you the wheels though, it's a pack containing the 19" wheels, DCC ,and Speed Limit de-restrict.

I'm still not sure it's worth it though, i'd stick with the Belvedere's and just tick the DCC box. If the car does come to the UK, and the packs are similar, this is going to be one very expensive car!

It does make me chuckle how the Parker's in Europe are instead called "Milton Keynes".

Which probably makes me hate them even more than I do already!

Was looking on my phone - that makes more sense. I'd probably go Belvederes as well.

Milton Keynes is certainly an odd name for the Parkers in Europe!

For all those Milton Keynes/Parker haters, I see that they are a €700 upgrade option on the Belgian TCR configurator 😏

[Jim_mk7.5]

Even as a Parker fan, you'd imagine they would be a no-cost option or even some money back for choosing them instead of Belvederes!

[P6GTD]

Indeed, it’s strange but illustrates VW’s differing strategy for each market.
I think the UK May be the biggest GTI market, certainly in Europe (other than Germany?) and its my impression we usually get a better spec as standard than many others.
I also believe that GTIs in Belgium and Holland are v expensive.
I’m moving from a 7 to a 7.5 in March so at the moment trying to fall in love with Parkers.
I think I am starting to get there!

I have to say Jim that your signature pic of a Parker is helping me a lot!
My car will be Indium Gray but that wheel against silver is quite nice

Glad it's helping! I didn't get chance to upgrade but in reality, I don't love any of the others enough to pay extra for them anyway.

My previous Mk7.5 was Indium... really liked that colour
