Its a real shame that you arent happy. The way I believe it the half leather seats was only ever the concept? Due to the fact that they had put leather and bluetooth in the GTD & GTi as standardthen they had to make sure the 35 was the same. Exonian is right, the annisversary models have alwyas been a GTi with afew more bells and whistles.

I couldn't give a to$$ about the 35 logo on the seats, that's what i wasn't keen on in the 25th aniversary plastered over the seat's as if you need to be reminded of what you are in, subtle is the way forward imo.

It wasn't concept only, all the Euro cars have the option of half leather or cloth with th 35 logos on.

It must have been VW UK thinking that offering leather only would show better value on an overpriced GTi, in a bid to shift more.

I don't mind leather, but it at least needs to have contrast stiching, its just too dark and boring.

Not that it will bother many people here, but it is nice to have all the correct bits and bobs when the cars are 20 odd years old. My Mk2 16V still has it's original special 16V keys. Not many owners of Mk2 16V's even know they originally had a different key as they have been swapped at sometime during the cars life.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I agree - when one is spending in the region of £30k on a new car then what is wrong with 'wanting' exactly what you are after??

I appriciate having the right bits etc as I used to restore escort rs2000's and travelled all over the country for original parts. I have all the right bits for uk ed35 bar keyring which is easily sorted
