Every time I see a Candy White GTi or GTD I think that the black side spoilers just don't look right.
Need to be colour coded.

No they don't and they are a brilliant design.
The whole idea to have them a different colour is to make the car look less of a duck in the middle and to give it a perspective of greater length. This is why the 'R' and other Golfs look so odd. :smiley:

^^ Agreed - look really good when contrasting with the white or reds.

wow VW must really like to replace wheels under warranty. :evil:

They don't learn, do they?
Polished faced wheels in the UK...Hmm...They should have learned the lesson back in 1996 with the 20th Anniversary GTI.
But no...

..but gaining motorcycles.

MK6 GTD, Deep black, 5 door, park assist, RCD 510, VW Bluetooth, Monza shadows SOLD!
So did you fit these Monza's or order them?

I wanted Monza's when I ordered mine but they wouldn't do it. You can only have the wheels stated for that model.  :cry:

I work for VW and luckily found a dealer in our group that had taken a set off their mk6 gti and bought them from them. Was happy with the Vancouvers that cost me nothing as an option on my car as were changed off a car because a customer didnt like them and would be very happy with the Charleston shadows, but loved the look of the Monzas Shadows especialy with a black car.

Makes sense for me at the moment to just use a company demo car, as cant see me being able to drive a car for almost a year and trade out of it and loose nothing again. Especially as we have another GTD demo car coming in a few weeks, White 3 door, charlestons mmmmmmm

Sounds good to me, a nice new car to drive ever few months must be a real chore.....  :grin:

At what stage do yourselves as a dealer decide to sell the demo car out of interest? Or is a demo car available for sale as soon as you recieve it?

The car is for sale straight away but we can't let the car go till it is exactly 3 months old as it is on a demo plan with vw till then, plus if you let it go early you get f**ked over if vw find out.
