Did you get a set in the end, if so can you share how much they are?

I need to get a spare set but haven’t had time to contact dealer yet.

Call from the dealer, the official UK launch is Fri 6th, 7th and 8th test drives will be available on these days (and I guess going forward).

He couldn't tell what models they were getting (Style, Launch, Life)

@davo they’ll chuck a load of ID.3 GTI’s out on leases along with a campaign of glossy advertising.

I have zero issues with the choice of propulsion, I don’t mind the styling and they’re a handy sized car. However the fact they weigh two tons and are rear motor driven rankles me somewhat wearing a GTI badge, unlike them using a GTX badge which felt more apt. But I get why they did it.

Available in Tornado Red though, just like an Ed50 😁

True GTX badge only, at least they offer it in the best colour which has been missing for years on the Golfs!

Magnetic grey, hints of the MK7 night blue? Under artificial light it sometimes looks like night blue?

To my eyes it’s closer to Dark Iron Blue than Night Blue, although the lighting will be a big factor in the appearance of specific colours.

Ah yes, was dark iron ever available in Europe?

Sorry, I don’t know if it was available in Europe, but AI suggests it was. Dark Iron Blue was exclusive to the mk7.5 Golf GTI and GTD (certainly in the UK; don’t know about elsewhere) and it replaced Carbon Grey.

On pricing, I'd be surprised if it lands much above the Raval VZ once the real discounts kick in. Those 13-18% deals on the Raval and ID.3 suggest VW will have to be sharp on the GTI or it'll just sit there at list price. I'd wait for the official unveiling before getting too excited, as the launch spec and what dealers are actually discounting can be quite different things.

Yes. have a look at the German configurator link posted here, you don't get much with a standard Germany car, nav and white paint!
