- I can't tell but are the Quantara wheels diamond cut? They look like it but the images are postage stamp sized and a Google search produces multiple similar name options of a different design. I was hoping for a little more pliancy but won't go near diamond cut wheels based on white worm problems previously.


Hi AGB, the Quaranta (or Belvedere as they are also known) alloys are great but yes they are diamond cut.

Perfect, thanks for the confirmation. Appreciated.

That must be a new level of rip off - flat grey paint for £580!!  WOW  :shocked:

It sure is. That grey and the red are both no-cost options in Ireland. The black roof is around 700 euro extra though. Someone is having a serious laugh at you guys  :grin:

Sure the grey is free on the Tiguan as the basic colour. You must really want to go on a track to get a TCR!

The free grey on some of the Tiguan models is Urano Grey. The grey that VW are charging £580 for on the Golf TCR is Pure Grey and unique to the Golf TCR only, so not the same colour grey as the free grey on many VW models.

I must say I do like the Pure Grey. Not sure I’d pay £580 for the privilege of having it though.

That’s the thing, it’s not exclusive. It’s a colour from the Vw transporter I believe.

So it is! Every day’s a school day.

I wonder how much it costs to have Pure Grey on a Transporter, or maybe it’s the free colour!

On another note, just spoke to the dealer supplying my R. He’s getting back to me tomorrow but is currently saying that the tcr is open to all the discounts that a pp gti is.

Would like to point out that the 18" Belvedere wheels that originally came as standard on the Clubsport are definitely are not diamond cut.

But they are polished?

...and Oryx White is a 'free' colour on the SEAT Tarraco, even on base models!  :huh:
