MK7 GTI Facelift

How does Indium grey compare to Carbon, is it a bit lighter or pretty similar. Carbon is a bit dark for my likings but does look smart.

Indium is lighter... and is more "grey" than Carbon imo. Carbon has a green/bluey tinge in it and sometimes looks close to black in certain lights.
If you want to see Indium in the metal, just pay more attention on the roads/carparks... its already a popular colour on Passats/Tiguans.

I wouldn't be so sure either of those will be coming. I'm still waiting for vw to explain why the fogs have gone...

Am I missing something? Have VW confirmed that front fogs will not be fitted to UK vehicles or is their not being present on dealer cars being taken that they won't be on customer cars? They are listed in the specifications (based on 14th Feb price list which I have saved) as being present and I'm expecting them to be fitted to mine when it arrives.

Super pictures of Isaac Blue BTW, looks great to me - looking forward to getting mine.

Lol probably do need some new specs... And to be reading this using something other than an iPhone!

That's what I was using when I looked at this thread earlier. Speaking of Specsavers , I bought a pair of +1.50 glasses yesterday from Tesco and I realised that I need to go to Specsavers, sharpish.

Red calipers too which are available as an option on the German GTD configurator. (not the S&S pack like the mk7.1, just painted red)

Edit: Just found out the red calipers are a no-cost option on VW Ireland configurator on the GTD.

This is a video from a car in stock at a London dealer.
No fog lights or red calipers.

Just to triple confirm, the white GTI in the VW Ipswich showroom doesn't have fogs

So...

Those who have seen the Active Info Display (AID ) in the flesh - what do you think?

First impression - I really, really didn't like it. I spend a lot of my working day looking at screens. Now I'll have another one. I might have been impresses if it was a vivid high resolution display. But the AID screen looked like quite low resolution or maybe it was just the graphics. Maybe there are settings to turn up the brightness, because it also looked quite dull.

However, I doubt if I would delete a £550 option. So I guess I'll just have to get used to it.

New member here, ordered mk7.5 GTI on Monday. My first ever VW so hoping it'll be a good ownership.

In terms of the AID the dealership I went to had that day taken delivery of their showroom car (only 7.5 they had) and kindly let me take it out for a spin. The AID while driving is fine, no different from standard dials and the ability to amend it to things like the nav was great as it keeps yours eyes more focused on the road rather than diverting to the left to look at the map in the centre screen.

I know what you mean about low res, compared to say the 8" centre display it is a little but its not noticeable when you're driving around.

I do have a question though, the dealer said it comes with a 7 speed DSG but some reviews mention 6 speed so I'm a little confused as to what it should have.
