Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 order thread

Yes I agree no one really does care about the plate and it definitely doesn't add anything value wise. My detailer is way until June 8th as on annual leave from end of next week, vehicle probably won't hit dealer until week after next depending, so I'm caught really. I think id rather have car PPF'd prior to hitting the rd. So basically all going well vehicle ready for 12/13th June.

For me the new reg would have zero impact on me, I used to care about it but realised I don’t think it has much significance. Those who know, know, any ED50 is hot off the press 😀🚗 I’d want it as soon as, enjoying the summer months in it….

I agree; I also used to like the idea of having one of the first of the new registrations and in the past I’ve  taken delivery of new cars on the first day of the new plate. Not any longer though; I’d rather take delivery 2-3 months (or longer) into the registration plate period so it’s less obvious to those who don’t know me that I’ve just got a new car. A private plate would also make it less obvious, but I’ve no desire to ever have a private plate.

Looks great in red! I'm quite taken by the Cupra version, I think it's called the Raval. Something like these would be ideal for most journeys but I'm still not sure about long runs as I do quite a few trips ooop north a year so around 250 miles each way. Those quoted ranges of around 260 miles is good on paper but I'd guess in the winter and at 70ish mph, that could be more like 180-200 miles. Then when you do top up, it seems up to 80% is the cut off on a fast charger so that then becomes a 150ish mile range. Not impossible to deal with but I like the convenience of my car, not the inconvenience...

Got a call today my edition 50 has landed in Ireland, my dilemma now is do I wait to register it July 1st (New Registration Period here in Ireland) or take it ASAP, bare in
Mind detailed can't take car until June 8th and will have for 4/5 days. Great news all the same do.

I'd take it now. 261/2 makes no difference.

With the traffic volumes, cameras everywhere and potholes maybe mk1 GTI performance levels would be adequate in the UK!
If you’ve ever driven an ID.3 you’d soon realise it has mk1 Golf brake performance. Scary stuff!!

I was enjoying that until he said the price.

Mk1 dash mode. Why stop there though? Replicate each model in more than just graphics, match the performance too... and the brakes  :laugh:
