Easy decision...sunroof, although I wouldn't have either in all honesty! I like a nice dark cabin!

19"s all the way, the roof makes the car look like a 1970's pram when it's open  :laugh:

extra weight of roof and 19's takes you into a new road tax bracket that VW don't want you in.

I was in the same dilemma but plumped for wheels as not sure roof looked so good on a 5 door ( on the 3 door it looks fab though ) also wanted my car to look a bit different to ( some ) other GTi s
Taking delivery next Thursday so getting a bit excited now too i was going to wait until Sept but having it early As going away early sept

Neither,
The 19" wheels are way too expensive when you consider the car already has a set of 18" wheels and look very similar to the GTD wheels.
The Roof is better value for money when you look at the technology you are getting, but I had a Panoramic roof in a Civic before and found it was of no benefit at all, as it starts behind your head, its great if you sit in the back though.

For £900 I can tax the car for 45 years.
