Thats a bit like ordering the GTI performance pack and the dealer just painting the calipers for you. There's a lot more to it.

At the end of the day its what makes you happy. Good luck for pick up. The surprise sounds great.

Not really, the OP only asked about the red calipers and the tints which are both cosmetic. If he'd have wanted sport and sound, surely he'd have mentioned it in the original post? Completely different to not adding the PP as it's a performance option and also shows as a different model on the V5

Yet another clueless dealer - I wonder if the brochure has been corrected yet - when it first came out its description of Sport and Sound pack was completely wrong....

You can't get just red calipers on there own so clearly part of another pack. Granted my analogy wasn't quite correct but I was just trying to highlight to the OP painting the calipers was only part of the problem. The fact he hasn't mentioned S&S makes me wonder if he actually knows what he's agreed to forfeit due to their incompetence.

I see what you mean - some people aren't as keen to know what every last little bit is/does like I (we) do.

Still only cosmetic/sound differences though.

Is it a GTI, GTD?
I assume it's not an R as the steering wheel is silver/chrome and not black :undecided:

The rev counter is red-lined at 6k, so suggests it's a GTI

Its a GTI. I was at the Top Gear Live show earlier in the year and it was mentioned that he had ordered a GTi because he was now unemployed lol.
