Thank you all for your kind words
We will double check Tuesday but was under the impression they are standard and should be fitted when they do the of
Will ring later to check and remind them about the blocks
Wendy first golf was a yellow mk1 not gti
The gti came years later on the mk2 in grey 8v only sold the parcel shelf last month I then bought a 16v in grey for my self in 1989 and sold that 3 years ago along the way have owned mk1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7.5 8 now 8.5
So probably the last golf she will own as is adamant she is never going electric lol
You've got enough Golf to be featured in the GTI Stories page!Collected my ED50 today from dealer in the North East 😀 so happy with the colour, there is so much black gloss going on that the red just fits perfect. Wheels compliment it perfectly. Centre spinning caps included as standard, no plaque
No pics yet as unfortunately drove it very sensibly straight to the detailers for front end (and side sills) PPF and ceramic coatings next week. Don’t expect it back until Thursday or Friday. Loved it though. info screen is actually really good, velour steering wheel nice, engine noise, nice 🤣 felt the nuts. My only question mark would be the ED50 badges, they are effectively stuck on, which, let’s see how that goes over time.
Congrats! Shame about the lack of a plaque, if it was going to happened it would have been applied to your car as it's been delivered already. If you're getting front PPF, it may include the mirrors and they might apply PPF over the label, which should keep it fresh.
Mirrors are getting done as are the gloss black side sills. They said they won’t ppf over the label as you will see the bubble around it, but that was when we were discussing the rear bumper so I need to ask about that actually.

Order cancelled yesterday. After lots of thinking, I’m still not convinced about the ride quality and I’m not buying a car that can’t be discounted.
That’s a shame King Monkey. Did you ever get a confirmed build week? Looking on Autotrader, there are some new GTIs with over 15% discount, so I get your decision. Did you get your deposit back?
