Have you got the 'picture below' of the Vienna Leather?

every press release I have seen says the UK model has 35 logo's on the lather seats, but if you spec one in Germany with full leather you just get the normal vienna with GTi logos on the head rests?

First post btw, been lurking here for a while since getting my GTI in Feb, so Hello 

Nice first post and welcome mister long time lurker. Shame you don't input more as we need sensible people round here to keep the fires alight - I find it hard work and have to rely on my village idiot status most of the time.
Start a thread, we need to know more about you and your seven month old GTI!!

Or to their heads, especially in the case of the actual village idiot around here. 


OT:

That 35 looks good value when you look at the kit it arrives with, what's the eta on these if you order one?

It is good value comapared to the horrendous value of a normal GTI/D, just like the ED35 before it, it offers a lot more car than a regular GTI and it's just a shame it doesn't come with the 345mm brakes it needs.
