No LEDs for GTDs but GTI diff as standard!

[countrytrucker]

I have just spoken to my dealer (VW, not drug) and I am told the UK GTIs and GTDs will not be getting LED rear lights as standard anytime soon apparently.

I have ordered a GTD and it went from 12 week delivery to 23 week so the plan was to get the LEDs thrown in as part of the deal.

Are the LED rear lights off the R going to fit a GTI/GTD?

Some good news though. All GTDs built from week 46 on will be getting the GTI diff as standard!

Makes the GTD sound more attractive all the time. It's still a frikkin desel though

I have to stick to diesel with the amount of miles I do plus it is easier on tax as a company car.

There is nothing wrong with diesel!

Diesel is preceived to be - and always will be - for tight ar$es, not hot hatches

Useable performacnce in the right gear, at the right revs, but f00k all else after that lovely slug of torque has gone.

I used to have a remapped BMW 330d which pushed out 300hp and 600Nm of torque. Very meaty, but it's still not the same as a petrol. Pity about the LED lights, must try & get a pair over here.

I had a remapped Grande Punto 1.9 MJ with about 170bhp. The power band was good, but not wide enough.

My favourite incident was an overly aggressive Civic Type R driver gesticulating for me to get out the way - assuming i'm in an athsmatic 1.2 - one stab of the throttle later and he was nowhere to be seen.

Refused to make eye-contact when he overtook me about five miles down the motorway.

Soon as diesels stop sounding like black hackney cabs then I'll give them more serious thought. Till then they, and as Clackson says as well, they should all be Banned !

Forgot about that!
