I've just been fiddling with the configurator and now it has some different things.

(Looking at the GTD) it now offers under "extras" a front spoiler for £367 and a rear spoiler for £393.

The car already has front and rear spoilers.... wtf?

Configurator spazz out?

VW aren't very good at showing the correct model-specific options within the configurator, some of the options shown are generic to all models and some aren't even relevant to certain models.

I've just checked the configurator for my Polo GTI. It also shows an optional tailgate spoiler when the car already has one (to be fair, it does look a different design to the standard one). It also shows as options door sill trims (not required as already fitted), mud flaps (can't be fitted, due to GTI-specific bumper/sill profile) and the flexible load liner for the lower boot floor position (no lower position in the Polo GTI, due to battery location).

Whether it's possible to fit the mk7.5 Golf optional front / rear spoilers shown in the configurator to the GTD is anyone's guess; they look different to the standard offerings but would you really want to spend £760 on these, and then pay extra for fitting and painting?

No, I wasn't interested really, just pointing out the crapness of the situation :)

Who would buy something like that with a hidden extra painting/fitting cost is bizarre.

The app configurator is even more hopelessly out of touch. What good is a system you can't depend on. Both configurators have obviously been updated since Mk7.5, but badly!
