2018 Golf TCR and dealer information ?

Agree on the decals, however on some of the European ones the decals look like a shade of the bodywork rather than black so they are a lot less noticeable.  If this was the option (and it had been significantly cheaper) I may have looked at them a little more seriously.

I'd probably have the decals. I'm relatively young (almost 25), so maybe that makes a difference. The average buyer of one of these is probably going to be older than me, given the price

Thought I imagined that, but yes there is some more subtle ones that blend opposed to standing so prominent. - Still, would have had to have been a standard option that had option to remove before considered as that £550 bought me a climate screen and 90% tints

Noticed there is some TCR decal kits on E-Bay which are relatively cheap and imagine can order in matching grey and no reason if done properly they not look exactly the same for fraction of price.

I had an RS2000 when I was younger than I am today and used to add all sorts of bits and pieces to that, and so completely get what you say, but times moved on and so I am little more adverse to such things.

Shame they do not do the 3 Door as think they work better on that form and as just been said the European decals colour match so more subtle, and think that combination is the best one.

We always have a 3 door as our second car but no getting away on how unpractical they are for daily family use.

Looks fantastic but think I would leave the decals off too. Prets are a lovely wheel and I keep looking at them for mine... but I hit a big pothole on my way from work this week and the Belvedere alloy seems fine - I don't think a Pret would have survived  .

Yes, that is a worry with Prets I guess but never had a set so can't say how vulnerable they are. I do like the Reifnitz option as well.

My Prets were like butter, only clipped them a handful of times, but you would think was kerbing them constantly!

Sure the reifnitz will get a kerb at some point, but the rear camera might help me more than previous as its brighter and clearer than the outgoing

Reminds me, anyone know where can get the reifnitz paint code as hope to do some spot repairs when that time comes.

Did hit a few pot holes like everyone else and and no damage that I was aware of, with the tyre change had just before handed it back not flagging any issues.

Think 3 door was available for a very short time - there are about 6 on AT. Do look good but like you say just a bit too unpractical for most people.

Hold up - I probably wouldn't have the decals if they're a cost option! I thought they came as standard and you could opt to remove them

Same camera is in all mk7s and 7.5s and numerous other iterations too. You seem quite obsessed in thinking that your TCR has different everything than previous golfs. It doesn't but it's still a lovely looking car.

No, they relieve you of £550 for the privilege of having the decals!!!

I did think the reverse lights were brighter on the mk7.5 I had vs my mk7 though so that could help I guess.
