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

[scanesare]

The recent hot spell has been playing hell with my reccaro's , they started to squeek terribly , but i found a fix just encase anyone else gets this, it was coming from the rear, where the grey plastic meets the black glossy , i unclipped the grey and added some sticky felt strips to the edge's and this totally cured it. Recarro had some felt there, but no where near enough

That seems like a great find, i wonder if it also cures the issue that some owners with Recaros experience. Mine have been fine for almost two years now but it's certainly useful to have a possible cure in mind just in case...

There seem to be quite a few for sale, I was surprised to see Volkswizard advertise his own Clubsport S, is the UP GTi really that good?

Wow!    ^^^^

My son has the same engine in an Ibiza FR.
It’s nippy and fun plus has the MQB chassis which is leagues ahead of an up! chassis.

The up! GTI is probably a more useable fun package than a Clubsport S if you’re just using it as a road car in normal conditions and don’t expect to be taking all comers from the lights.
The up! GTI has massive limitations though.
But it’s cheap and fun and does 45mpg without trying.

Andrew (volkswizard) is a car dealer and journo so probably doesn’t get attached to cars.
He has a highly modded Ed30 for track use and the up! GTI for a daily. Plus a good few more cars in the garage.
It’s probably just a case of “up for sale at the right price, but if not...”

It was only a matter of time before we started recycling haha... I am now the proud owner of Little Lofty's number 301!

I had a facelift GTI (non-performance) that was great actually but the Clubsport desire never went away. I even thought about making mine like a Clubsport but the cost was significant.

I might miss the tech (digital dash etc) but it has the Nav Pro and Dynaudio so think I'll be good.

So happy to be part of the Club!

Photos tomorrow :-)

You could easily make a Non Performance Mk7.5 GTI into a Clubsport beater 

Get some lightweight 18's on it, TT RS front brakes, Lowered springs and a Revo map and you're sorted.

But it would never be a Clubsport...

I could easily get my mrs to dress up as Margot Robbie , put the Harley Quinn gear on her and all that, But she would alas never be Margot Robbie

You're right...it would be better than a clubsport.

Lighter weight, better brakes, better handling, faster

I know what you mean of course  don't mean to be annoying

I'm a big fan of Clubsports, I actually bought one last year, paid deposit, financed arranged, but I cancelled it after giving it more thought, only due to the money it was going to cost, but I often regret that decision.

It was a white 3 door,black roof, leather,  from a VW dealer in Wigan
