I've got the S&S option ticked and if my car doesn't come with red calipers and the straight exhaust then I won't be a happy bunny!

Don't worry - it will!

What did the dealer think it included?

Haha I know, I'm kidding!

I didn't even mention it to the dealer, I knew that I wanted it just from reading the info shared on here!

Have you heard positive reaction, if so what? All I can find is confirmation(eventually and no thanks to VW!) of what it includes...

I like the idea of it but don't want to pay just for red calipers, if there's not much difference in sound from inside the cabin - thought that it sounded really good as standard with Sport mode selected. What's your reason for wanting it?

TBH I would happily paint the calipers myself but I like the idea that the car sounds good from the actual exhaust too! It's not a make or break option but it worked within my budget so thought I'd give it a go! I've only seen one video of the external sound online but it sounds great!

Just found this on YouTube - Dutch car, presumably with S&S by the sounds of things...

I saw this one a while ago... sounds great. I just wonder how much of this will be audible from the drivers seat!

My missus is just in the process of ordering a GTD with this option ticked - it will be a few months before she gets it but I'll be very interested in how it sounds.
