2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

That used to be a problem with RS4 bucket seats getting stolen. Can't see them being £12k though?

They're probably that price purely to dissuade people upgrading. A while back, R dash trim pieces were silly money vs GTI prices - again, probably to dissuade would be modders.

No, they're weren't £12k, when I spoke to my local dealer, they quoted £13,500.

Apparently, they have to order every individual part down to nut, bolt and screw and then assemble them. Parts are £12,200. Labour is minimum 8h at £126/h but they reckoned to budget about £13,500 to be safe. As they'd never done it before.

Not making it up, I made them give me a written quote. I'll post it if anyone doubts it. Like I did!

They took my chassis number and I was referred by the head of sales so knew I wasn't a modder. I said it was for insurance in the event of a claim to ensure I had cover under the agreed policy. Still £13,500. They justified it on the basis that they didn't carry stocks of the assembled item and being a limited part.

Even Porsche who rip the ring out of such things are comparatively reasonable for replacement 918 style carbon bucket seats at about half that but then these seats are available through a much wider range of models and not in limited quantity.

The company that I bought my Golf R vinyl door sill protectors from now sell the TCR side decals. Only £80. Thought it might be if interest to someone. My door sill protectors were really good quality too.

Saw a black TCR in the flesh today and love it’s lowered stance, which is much more obvious in flesh the wheels and all the features, including the 90% tint which was a little unsure of - the black is not a colour I would choose as hides features little too much and lighter colour obviously highlights but having got close up to these features really loved what saw

Really not sure I like that in black.

Really not sure I like that in black.

The stance it has is lovely and the close up the features really work but agree that the black negates them features way too much and the lighter colours will make them pop more - think the grey will look really good

Also you have to remember this is has just arrived and will look a lot better when prepped and in showroom

But was nice to actually see one and loved what saw aside from the colour

Wouldn’t choose black. All the details are completely lost.

Ps if you choose Hotlink for forums it will show the pictures not a link

Think the transporter grey (sorry) will look epic. There seems to be a few appearing now. Wonder how rare they’ll actually be? I never saw another edition 35 while I had mine and have only seen 3 CS on the road aside from the ones I’ve driven.
