Dealer fitted yes, but the factory will have left them in the boot for fitting. In the case of the Edition 50, I would presume the factory leaves a set of spinning GTI caps in the boot rather than the static VW set.
In your case, you should make sure that the dealers give you the original factory-supplied set too. Better you have them than the dealers.

Golf mk7 / Re: Service Plans
« Last post by Rudedog on Today at 11:03 »Yes I got my last All-in during a BF sale - asking AI and they seem to think there are spring sales around now but I've not found them.
May just bite the bullet and buy - I'm sure the price of services is only going to go one way in the current climate.

« Last post by JoeGTI on Today at 11:00 »It looks brilliant, Garwen!
Good pointers by Joe too. I also would ask to double and triple check they take out the transport blocks. Sometimes they ‘forget’
For the wheel caps, I was under the impression you had to the spec the £160 something option as dynamic wheel caps when configuring it? UK website doesn’t show it as standard. If not, well sh!t I spec’ed the wrong thing but adding that option, I didn’t know they were standard spec.
Yeah I’m not actually 100% sure they are standard either but pretty much every press shot shows them and VW’s own configurator images show them fitted too as you build the car. Agree, they don’t make it very clear though.
I've seen 2 or 3 pop up on my Facebook feed sitting in VW showrooms in the last day or two - and all of them have the spinning centre caps fitted.

Golf mk7 / Service Plans
« Last post by Rudedog on Today at 09:14 »My All-in finished in March and now I'm too old to renew so I'm looking at the Plus Plan to replace it.
I was looking at the Plus Plan only because my car should have it's plugs changed next year in year eight (they did them in year 4 last time under the All-in plan) and they are included in the Plus Plan.
Before I go ahead does anyone know roughly if it's the time VW might have a sale on? I think the Plus Plan is around £27 a month but I don't want to buy it only for a sale to be announced.
(I bought VW breakdown cover separately)
