Even if you liked the look. and I do not, for that money you would expect a lot more options.  It's a fairly standard car dressed up like a complete dog.  Awful.

Pricey for sure.
I dont see it that bad. Basically its low with a set of wheels. Raise it up a few inches and remove the wind deflectors and its normal :)
Once the GTIs get into the mainstream and especially America this will be tame.

I really don’t like it - the slammed look ruins it for me because you lose that concentric circle shaped gap between the tyre and wheel arch edge :sick:; and that plays havoc with my car OCD :shocked:.

It's got air adjustable suspension... Guessing the photos is of it in McDonald's car park mode.

It's not to my taste but I'm sure some dream of this look

£36k car, £8k for the wheels, suspension and labour = £44k + £3k for the dealer, sounds about right. Why a Clubsport or any performance orientated car needs air suspension is to be confirmed because it's useless for performance.

I've still not got my head around how air suspension works in the context of mods like this. I presume the bags replace the struts and springs?

It can't help with geometry and all the other good stuff the manufacturers spends months working on in my head.

added to the fact I just don't like it especially with those wheels.
