For those who like the Alcantara steering wheel, have you considered contacting VW UK? The steering wheel PR-Code is 1MB. Can't the car be ordered with this?

I would like to have the Vienna leather seats (PL2 PR-Code) and the rear heated seats (PW1 PR-Code).

Comparing the Clubsport and the Edition 50 I only see four differences in the interior. The Edition 50 has red in the pedals and in the seatbelts. The steering wheel says "GTI | 50" and the seats pattern is different. Everything else is the same.

But in the Clubsport you can have Vienna leather and rear heated seats simultaneously and in the Edition 50 you can't. A bug in the configurator?

I (in Ireland) have had success a few times in the past doing exactly this. Finding out these product codes, giving them to the dealers and asking them to chase up VW Ireland to ask them to get my requested option added to my order. Did it a few times and no issue. But from what I’ve read on this forum and elsewhere over the years, Uk dealers and/or VW UK are not accommodating in this regard.

If I were ordering one today I’d deffo be pursuing the alcantara wheel. It doesn’t appear on the Irish configurator either. Small ish money for big bang for buck.

RE interior differences there are some other subtle differences. The standard GTI / CS has silver trim on the wheel. On the Ed 50 it seems there is a “black” theme so all that is dark grey instead. The big red bits on the sides of the seats are also blacked out.

Hello,

My name is Filipe and I am from Portugal.

I don't have a Golf yet, but I'm considering ordering a GTI Edition 50.

I am a VW enthusiast and maybe my knowledge is useful for the members of this community, but I also hope to learn from all of you!

Brings back some memories. Bought my wife a new 1.4 2 door in black back in October 2001, sold it 10 years later and it was still on the road and passing annual MOT’s up to 2023.

Found the time and a break in the rain to add some photographs.
