ACC is a real mood thing.

Comfort for the Monday morning trek to work, normal/sport for the weekends or when you want to enjoy your journey home.

Fantastic.
Should be standard spec really, probably will be on the run out models in a couple of years.

In hindsight, I would not order 18" wheels. But ACC + 17" would make the car even smoother riding.
I got driven in one recently with 17" + ACC. Loved it. :smiley:

and faster......
and cheaper....
and cheaper tyres...
and less kerbing... (cheaper if you do)
and no white worm...
and better in the winter...
And wayyyy more comfortable.


As Amy says it's the best ride you'll get in a GTI.

Beauty, yes, with 18". They really are eye candy. :cool:
But I rather lose an inch and have a satisfyingly good ride. :evil: :grin:
However, Gilly felt no ride difference between the 2 sizes.

The 18"s  are more eye catching to some.
The 17"s are more comfortable and practical to others.

Snoops:The Blingmeister never lies. He just loves bling in moderation but a sizeable wheel girth without any shame.
