Black style design pack
« on: 08 August 2023, 15:02 »
Just curious:

Does anyone else has the 'black style' design pack where the red stripe on the front is replaced with a black - not really visible - stripe? Seems like every mk8 GTI has the red stripe instead of the black one. Maybe this is a country specific option :)

Yep it’s available here in Ireland and costs somewhere between 450-500 euro as far as I remember. All you get for that money is the black (as you say almost invisible) stripe and black mirror caps. Very very expensive imo, considering I got a pair of black mirror caps on AliExpress for about €40! I’m not sure I’m a fan of deleting the red stripe either. Maybe on the R it makes more sense, as the blue stripe is a bit naff imo and the black definitely works better on the R.

It's ridiculous indeed, but I can't say I'm unhappy with it  :grin:
