Golf mk7 / De-condensating headlights
« Last post by Bluest on Today at 12:01 »I get a small amount of condensation in my headlights when the weather is cold. Thought id try this to see if I can stop it. I bought some sachets of silica desiccant and.affixed some the inside of the access cover with double sided tape. Will it work? No idea, but I will report back.

Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Paul70 on Today at 11:08 »The build dates are a little longer than I thought. Mine is scheduled for build last week of May.
I see the £1000 contribution has been removed by VW.
I also got confirmation each car will receive the following name plate, which I think looks good.

It would be worth signing for finance if that gives you further discounts and then settle up once delivery is taken. See if the “fantastic fortnight” deals apply if ringing this coming week. Good luck Valentino

« Last post by The WolfMan on 07 February 2026, 21:49 »And the front seats are also cooled.For those who prefer the Vienna leather seats I think that the leather steering wheel fits better. What do you think?
But for the standard seats, the alcantara wheel is awesome.
You’d be mad to spec the leather. It’s the same leather you can spec in any GTI. And not particularly nice looking nor great quality. The cloth seats are unique to the 50. The only plus with leather is you also get the electric/memory function but you pay a handsome premium for it.
Build date 18.6.26Damn! When does the model year ends? July?

Bear in mind you get winter pack and park assist as standard on an 8.5 so that’s worth a few quid when you’re contemplating the cost to change figure.
