Clubsport Edition 40 and Clubsport S build numbers (and car photos)

18” Belvedere alloys look amazing. Really fancy a set.

Hi Guys, I need a bit of help with the whole Clubsport thing. I have found my Ideal car here in the UK but it was originally imported from Ireland. Is this a problem? How does the warranty thig work?

Also, it doesn't seem to have a numbered plaque on the door which I believe was a UK only thing. Is there a way of finding out what number the car is and getting one made?

Thank you all in advance.

Hi and welcome, you're right the numbered plaque was for UK cars only, so as it wasn't officially imported into the UK it won't have a UK build number, so no plaque sadly.

As for the warranty, you'd be wise to confirm what is extant with a phone call to the main dealer, save any potential misery down the line.

Good luck, I hope it all pans out as you definitely won't be disappointed with the car.

I looked at these a while back and they don’t have full uk warranty, just 2yr European warranty But compared the uk cars but they are very good value.

I asked if the speedo had been changed for mph and they couldnt tell me.

I guess if you keep the car a few years the plaque will make no difference.

I also had a look at these clubsports. One garage had 25 of them lined up in various colours but identical spec. In the end, the import thing put me off. My local Vw said that resale value wouldn’t be great either.

Still a great car though.

You definitely won’t be able to get a plaque. VW won’t even let me have a duplicate of my own one.

Surely you should be able to get one made from one of the plaque making company's? Going by the quality of them it shouldn't cost more than a fiver for it.

Bit of a bugger that the imports will likely pull the value of all cars down...

Not for the people wanting to buy one

The fact that even dealers had a problem selling them showed that the price wasn't going to hold that well.

There were loads of cheap early mk7 from Greece or somewhere at mktorpoint and they didn’t seem to effect the value of uk official cars

That said they werent better specs than the official uk cars though as they didn’t have radar in the grille and a few other bits
