I have a sneaking suspision that your dealer is confusing "automatic cruise control" with "adaptive chassis control"? I know it's called ADC but in the VW bumph the cruise has been called ACC.

You could be right there...  I've seen the following used:

ACC - Adaptive Chasis Control
ACC - Automatic Cruise Control
ADC - Automatic Distance Control
DCC - Dynamic Chasis Control

Roll the dice and take your pick! lol

It's not free :( I just called VW UK and the lady just checked all the latest updates for me. She said it's definitely a cost option as of right now.

My dealer still states ACC is standard, but where does an extra £200 notes for the PP come from?

I was thinking the same Jim, that's why I kept out of the ACC thread as I have seen on various bits of VWs website the cruise control referred to as ACC which ties in with ADC being standard and ACC being part of that kit.
Chassis Control is altogether different and a hell of a lot of money for them to throw into the spec when you get Xenons, 18s and ADC as standard.

I must say after watching the vid I was almost convinced to add it on,

HOWEVER, I will have to wait to hear/watch/read a review of the car without it, I sure hope one comes before its too late!

I can also confirm ACC is not included so must be cruise control they refer to.

I wasn't going to, but on the way to ordering the car I had this sudden gut feeling I would regret not having it once I had the car... so went for it.. then thought what the heck and added the 19"s to go with it...

What do you all think of the white GTI logo on the brake calipers.

It put me off. I didn't order it.
 
Minimal gains for maximum price, remapping may not be such an easy option this time though :undecided:

I'm not a fan of the logo on the calipers because apart from the fact they look a bit tacky i bet they will fade with the heat from the brakes like the red paint tends to on the fronts.


Would adding the PP make any difference to insurance costs do we think?

PP Version is in the same insurance group.  But that is not to say that insurers won't charge more anyway.

Don't insurance companies go on the base model of the car? After all, PP is an optional extra, not part of the basic set-up. Or do you have to tell them its an enhancement in performance I wonder?
