Definitely. A Clubsport with 19s in KR would be the one to go for. I'll be sticking with my TCR though for the foreseeable.

I thought that too. Could it be a sunroof?

Looks like a sunroof to me. There appears to be a line where the opening part is separate to the front panel, very faint though.

Yes, as @watfs has said, it’s a sunroof. If you look carefully, you can just see where the front edge of the sliding panel meets the rear edge of the fixed gloss black panel that sits between the sliding panel and the top edge of the windscreen.

VW changed the sunroof design on the mk8; the fixed panel no longer surrounds the sides and front of the sliding panel - the fixed panel is just a strip between the front edge of the sliding panel and top edge of the windscreen.

Really think the wheels make a difference. I reckon the CS will look great in the metal.

Agreed. The standard wheels are so horrific, literally anything else would be an improvement. Perhaps even set of space savers.

I’d like to see real life images of a car on the 19” estorils as I think they’re potentially the nicest.
MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.
