My choice was £53470 in Tornado Red with diamond cut Estorils, PP and a sunroof. Lovely. Will just have to hope some sucker orders that combo and loses a shed load of cash after no miles so I can pick it up for a steal at 6 months old.

Watts, you had a TR GTI for a good few years. How much work does it need to keep it looking good? Is it durable?

As above really.

Tbf I was going to take car into a garage as last week or so has been sounding like a clunk when I set off after letting off the handbrake then for the first few brakes back left sounds like grinding noise but then goes away.

Was going to take it in to check over the caliper etc.

Then tonight I have the car with the squiggly lines lol come up and say esp fault, in the middle of traffic was great fun! The D on the auto was flashing and wouldnt let me move just rev. Didnt know what to do, turned off and on and I could move again.

Google says a sticky caliper could poss be the problem  to set this light etc off.

So have juat booked into a garage to have a look 😬

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

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.

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.
