Hi there and welcome... :smiley:

Hi :smiley: what do i do.... Means parting with 5k and 100 per month extra!
-
Well i've got a black gti with leather seats and love it, but it's not good to keep clean... :sad:

Hi and welcome :smiley:
Like Murray, I have a deep black pearl gti with leather and love it too. It is the hardest colour to keep clean (carbon shows much less dirt/dust), but, if you keep on top of it, black looks stunning.
If you're not into car cleaning/detailing then think twice, but if you are and can afford the extra, go for it :cool:
-
Hmm black May be out of the equation then, as i live in the sticks and very dusty!
Is the gti really worth the extra doh over my gtd, tahts what im confused on!
-
Why are you considering the change to a gti, is it more power you're after? Why not map the gtd?
-
Well i need more power, plus im not so keen on the dsg box,plus remap invalidates warranty i believe, plus may screw the engine over time?
Maybe im
Being stupid and should
Just keep my gtd.... I think if they had done the gti in carbon i would have paid deposit by now! Just cant get excited by the colours

Not to mention the hefty whack of depreciation .. I think only you know whether this is sensible as we're not your accountants.

Very true :smiley:

You could remap the GTD, and keep the money you would have paid for a GTI, have a few holidays, enjoy yourself and still have some money if anything goes wrong and VW won't cover it. £5k extra is alot of money !!
Remaps nowadays are very good and to have a fail on your car within 3 years warranted probably won't be caused by the remap if you get it done by a reputable dealer. If a part fails it was probably going to fail anyway.
But at the end of the day it is up to you. :grin:

As said it's available in carbon steel grey.
Have a look in the mk7 section, think a couple of people in there have ordered it in CSG. Might want to check this thread http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=254937.msg2338689#msg2338689
Some nice pics of a CSG on page 2
