Golf mk8 / Re: GTI Edition 50 first press release
« Last post by Hertsman on 15 January 2026, 16:37 »
Just priced mine up, £53,950 Green Paint, Performance Pack

A Black Edition R in white with standard wheels and performance pack is £53,250 and as much as value the traction, think it would not be that hard of choice and it be the ED50 every time that select.

Going to do the lottery this weekend as really want one :)

Of course you can get it under £50k without performance pack, but think once you in on that money you may as well go whole hog and looking at all the Edition cars they all keep their price, you imagine an ED50 will still be knocking around £40's k three + years down road where Black Edition R will be in £30's

True, but my factory bulbs are 12 years old this year and are fine!

Do bare in mind Xenon’s last a lot longer than halogen bulbs. You’re not going to be needing to replace them for many many years.

The Edition 50 is listed on the UK configurator. No VW contribution but a much lower rate of interest in lieu of no contribution, which equates to over £3K saving based on a comparably priced Golf R and the buyer paying the standard deposit etc.

So it seems looking at VW UK configurator no deposit contribution on edition 50 . I wonder how many people this will put off ordering as for some contribution makes a big difference, if not as many order as VW hope wonder if they will add some sort of incentive as has previously happened .

On yours the hook is handed but not the cooling vanes.

The lightweight discs in the article are handed but run for 3x the price of SHWs.

Good advice, but £64 for one bulb, not just steep, f-ing vertical!   :laugh:

Xenon bulbs light output fades as the bulbs ages so that could be part of the problem. It might also be worth checking that they are not set too low from the factory. They can be adjusted with an Allan key on the headlight themselves.

My neighbour’s 11 year old Audi has new Xenon bulbs in. They are nice and white and have a good light output. If I was in your situation I would look for quality bulbs from a well known brand.

Just had a look and Philips do a D3S White vision bulb which may be of interest to you.

I don't know the exact weight, sorry, but I did find this if it helps.

The CS discs aren't handed are they? That was one thing that put me off about them.

I have a 2025 GTI and the DSG gearbox says it has a lifetime fill………… I assume that’s rubbish and it should be changed? Views?

I might be cynical, but lifetime = warranty period? I change mine every 3 years, irrespective of mileage. Same with Haldex.
