MK7 GTI Facelift

[Exonian]

Just out of interest, how the hell does that dealer have two Mk7.5's as "used" already??

AFAIK only a handful have come into the UK in the last week or so and even allowing for dealer demo/staff vehicles, they wouldn't be knocking them out yet would they?

Seems very bizarre!

It's their demo cars so although they're listed for sale they can't actually sell them just yet (technically).
Check out the availability date before handing over a deposit!

The Vienna leather looks "interesting" on the facelift! The centres seem to have a polka dot type of finish which looks ok on the R (white dots) but the red on the GTI might be marmite...

Looks pretty good in real life - still wouldn't spec it over the GTI cloth myself!

Yes, the GTI is available in 83 days time and the GTD in 73 days time. They'll be nicely loosened up from customer test drives by then

Don't forget... every demo of a DSG car includes a demonstration of launch control...

[I wanted a GTi]

At the dealers today and none of the GTD or GTi's had front fogs. I asked the 'sales manager' and he said that the GTD's and GTi's have never come with front fogs Needless to say a bit clueless.

Btw both the GTD and GTi were covered in swirl marks so having to pay out the bones of £500 to sort out the swirls on my car hasn't changed there way of doing the prep.

That's very odd. I've seen a couple of new FL GTI's and GTD's in the metal and they all had fogs. I can't think of any reason they wouldn't be fitted. It's not like they'd be an optional extra. Are there are a few pre-production / non official standard spec cars with odd specs in showrooms I wonder? Only logical explanation.

Are the Fogs dropped if the car has the Enhance LED package ?  Just a thought.

It's either that dynamic lighting or just leds deletes the fogs I guess... But is a bit weird given that the configurator lists it...

Then again, the configurator isn't exactly infallible!
