Also, another thing I have just noticed in those dropbox pics is the interior...EU guys seem to have half leathers and what looks like alcantara as standard?

It is not standard and it is an option.

Ah I see. We only got the cloth interior as standard and full leather as an option. Would have been nice to get that option too!

I know I would have gone for that as opposed to the leather

The full leather is more profitable to the dealer?

Certainly must be at £1700 for a bit of cow. Shame we can’t get tartan with Alcantara or leather side bolsters in the UK.

The Alcantara would be a nice touch!

It's an option here in Ireland, less than half the cost of full leather. Here's mine.

MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.
