Thanks for sharing.

Cranberry Red paint sounds interesting, however possibly not available on performance Golf's? Also potentially mega expensive now to add led headlights further down the range. Rest of changes perhaps not completely surprising.

I thought so too but tbh as much as I normally prefer a metallic, I'm so pleased with TR that I would stick with it.

I like a metallic paint as well. I've long thought the lack of choice in the metallic colour palette is one of the performance Golf's biggest disappointments. Other VW group brands seem to cater more for my tastes.

Yup, I keep saying it, its fifty shades of grey!

I agree, hence I went for Atlantic blue on my lease deal that included metallic paint. I have had my car for a month now.

I think I have only ever seen one other GTI in Atlantic blue. I am hoping I don't regret the colour choice this winter when its covered in muck!

They all get the same amount of muck on them whatever the colour. Besides, they look really good when dirty, providing the muck is even with no finger marks or rubs on the cill where a trouser leg has rubbed.

I've just read this thread again.... all oil burners get Adblue...

Yikes.

That's got to push the price up (adding the Adblue system)

Never actually noticed the chrome on the Hazard switch but looked today and its lovely!  :grin:
