I'm in two minds to add the black roof to a 3 door Carbon Grey Clubsport or not.
As its so dark, I am not 100% sure you would see the benefit of the extra £295 it is.
I'm adding the 90% tints which I havn't spec'd so far, but not sure on roof yet?
What do you think?

Personally I wouldn't because you could always wrap it later and then take it off when/if you get tired of it.

I think I would. Even though it won't contrast as well as say, white or red, it will still distinguish the car from a regular GTI in carbon grey.
-
I think it's one of those things that will be expected of a ClubSport on the second hand market.
-
If it's only available on the CS, you literally have no choice, but to spec it! :)
-
Definitely.
-
Without doubt.

Black roof for defo! But the 90% tints. I had similar i think on a MK6 gt from the factory what a nice car for looks but the dark tint was hellish for visibility during the day, worse at night! i always said you could leave a million quid on the back seat and nobody would know it was there.
-
I would definitely go for the 90% tint. Had it on my previous car but unfortunately I miss it on my GTI (was not an option when I got mine in 2014). It offers a lot more privacy but each to their own.
Regarding black roof I would wrap it I reckon it goes cheaper than the factory option.
-
Think you know my answer anyway but I would go for it on the basis that it is a Clubsport signature and also to differentiate it from a standard gti. The fact that it isn't as noticeable also means it will be recognisable to those who know what it really is.

Re: Clubsport Black Roof or not?
My answer would be, Why? It does nothing to the car at all, if it was a carbon option yes, but adding a bit of VW vinyl? No sorry not for me.
The only thing that must be spec'd are the seats...
-
Is it vinyl or painted?

Not even VW would charge that much for vinyl......
Although thinking about it :rolleyes:

Thanks for the replies, I think we will go for it then!
I'm not getting the seats though, not just because of the price, and fact you have no centre arm rest, roller blind, and ambient lighting etc, but mainly due to access issues.
Not going for Dynaudio either this time, as never thought it was worth it. Do people still rate the standard stereo?
:cool:

Oops yeah sure its painted but looks like vinyl, which just seems crazy.

I would only get the Clubsport for those Recaros tbf. But each to their own.

My sister has the standard stereo in her avatar and I have Dynaudio I. My car and the difference is massive IMO, Dynaudio is well worth the upgrade and is quite reasonably priced

Get the black roof but change from the carbon grey... The roof is a unique feature but it's going to stand out against a contrasting colour
-

A mate had an S1 with an optioned black roof. He assumed it was painted as it looked so much link paint, with no visible edges, but his detailer found out it was vinyl just before setting about it with the rotary.

Have a high end Denon system at home, as well as Sonos Play 1, 3 and 5 in the varying rooms, so hopefully understand what decent sound is.
Had the Bose upgrades in my previous Quattro and always felt that it was wasted in the car environment to which when went for standard set up was a thinking that was confirmed.
The standard set up is decent and perfectly acceptable for the car environment. My Heaven 17 Penthouse and Pavement does not miss too much and think thats a decent album test.
If a real audiophile and do long steady cruising journeys then there is maybe a case as you will get more benefit in environment but in the day to day the standard holds its own - in my opinion :sad: as sound is one of most subjective areas
-
I always take the view, what would it look like in two years as well given its gloss black
I was never a fan on the 90% tints as were just too dark for me and also showed every minute scratch

I run a full Dynaudio surround system at home so it was a no brainer for me. Especially when it's only £550 ish.
My centre speaker cost double that!
