Does anyone know if the Pretoria’s are the same price regardless of colour?
Just went to enquire about a set at my local Vw garage but the parts department have closed till Monday,

I can get graphite grey with continental contact 6 tyres off eBay for £1250.

But I really want black....then I will just keep the richmonds in storage.

Assume you mean the 18 inch versions sold as genuine VW accessories?

If so, the silver and black are both officially the same price, not sure on the dark or light grey as they haven't been around for as long but do seem to be available for a slightly lower price.

Yeah that’s them,I can get away with the dark grey,but think black would be better....figured 1250 with tyres was a good price.

The tyres alone will be at least £300, so that's £950 max for some genuine VAG alloys. I don't think that's too bad.

There are some aftermarket wheels by the likes of BBS, Borbet etc for a little bit less, but if you want genuine VAG that price seems pretty reasonable to me.  :smiley:

Just to update on the above, kept my order the same as even based on my spec the Clubsport would also incur extra VRT. I prefer the manual anyway and am coming from a 150bhp R line so I think the standard GTI is more then enough. Some might think I’m mad paying the VRT but I am delighted with my spec and each to their own.

Current estimated build week is week 14 though (ordered in December) so a long wait ahead.

Hey have you got an update from the dealership as I’m in the same position you are and the dealership hasn’t given me answers even though deal is done and car is due in 4 weeks it’s crazy and it’s poor customer service

A friend of mine and I were given estimates of 12 weeks on our clubbys...that was last week that we went order confirmed. I'm hoping that was a realistic estimate...we haven't been given confirmed build dates yet though...you guys are both in the UK are you?
