Whats peoples thoughts on the two 19" wheel options?

I did a poll on my IG and I think about 150 people to 3 voted for the Pretoria alloys when I posed the same question.

Went with the minority and ordered Reifnitz as have Pretorias on the CSS. I'm not wild about the design but reasoned it was the launch wheel and a new design debuting on the TCR.

Have been toying with the idea of getting 18" Pretoria wheels and refinishing them in Pale Gold but I need to see the car in the metal. I think Pure Grey is colder than Grey Black on the GT3RS so might not work. I might have to do some Photoshop and an opinion poll on here come the time.

Hi

Looking at a TCR to replace my Cupra 300 for September delivery. Leon is a great car but being manual it’s starting to frustrate day to day, I also thing the TCR is a bit more ‘special’ which I think the Leon lacks even though as a car it’s absolutely awesome. Golf R, S3 do nothing for me whatsoever btw.

Just contacted JMK for a price, my main consideration re spec is to delete the active info dash? What’s the consensus on that, would it be a nightmare ever moving the car on without it.

Cheers

Why do you want to delete the digital dash?

[Philmots]

Because I don’t really like them.

The quandary is; would it be a huge put off whenever I come to move it on.

Deleting the active dash would be absolutely fine for resale. If you never plan to sell it 

[mcmaddy]

If two identical cars were sitting next to one another for sale the one with the digital dash would sell first 99% of the time. Philmots you might be the 1%

My advice would be keep it. I also thought about deleting - I would be quite happy with traditional dials- but didn't because I thought it better to keep the car standard.
I wouldn't delete because
1. it's actually pretty good
2. it would be a put off to buyers. People like pointless sh!t. Why else do they spec keyless?

If you want to avoid the digital dash and get something special, you're better off shopping for a Clubsport.

Personally, if I saw a TCR that had the digital dash ripped out, I wouldn't go near it.
