GTD vs GTI ambient lighting
« on: 04 April 2013, 19:14 »
Does anyone know if the GTD comes with any ambient lighting ? I noticed from the GTI spec on the VW website it lists it with Red ambient lighting consisting of:

"Red ambient lighting - lights in front centre armrest, light strips below trims in front doors and warning lights in front doors"

But nothing mentioned in the GTD ? Does this not come with any ambient lighting ?

According to the pricelist, as it goes through the spec GT has ambient lighting and GTD spec mentions everything over and above GTD then GTI mentions over and above (or different variations of the ssame equipment) GTD. GTI mentions red ambient lighting, GTD doesn't mention ambient lighting at all so the assumption is that GTD has same ambient lighting as GT (white). Maybe they could've done one with a blue tinge. The new Leon FR has the red "angry" lighting along the door trim strips and a few other places when it goes into "Sport" mode.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

I read that the gtd has white ambient lighting, but I can't remember where I saw it now. It may have been the comparison feature on the vw site.

Perhaps it'll be blue on the R?
