Have they dropped the GTI Performance model in the UK now, or is this coming at a later date?

It must be a later date, an Octavia vRS 245 has just been announced which is the equivalent of the GTI PP.

I prefer them to the Austins too. Have they replaced the Nogaros of the GTD (hope not) or the Cadiz of the R (hope so, they are hideous)?

Those front foglight surrounds looks a little more agressive (in a good way), but make it harder to differentiate from  a CS (CS owners might not like that).
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Cadiz remain but have introduced a new option in the form of a 19" spielberg

Nogaros have been replaced with Sevilla. Looks like a 17" version of Nogaro painted/silver (not diamond cut/black) on the GTD Blueline.
Nogaros are really nice but have had their day to be fair.

Cadiz still standard on the R but you can now spec black Prets and what Craig has posted above.

The Austins are awesome and them new ones look sh!te, like something you'd see on a Nissan qashqai :sick:

The Cadiz aren't the best but have slowly grown on me to the stage where I find them almost acceptable :smiley:

Black Pretoria are a nice addition to the range :cool:

Oh, interesting. The standard GTI looks amazing, but really tempted by an R :)
