Panoramic Sunroof / 19 inch Alloy combo

[tom90]

Hello GTI owners/Future GTI owners I am currently car looking for a replacement to my Peugeot RCZ and of course the GTI is extremely high on my list of potential replacements.

could not help notice when speccing my dream Golf GTI you cannot have the 19 inch santiago alloys and the Panoramic sunroof combo in both the car configurator and the price list, which it says "not with 'santiago' alloys" on the panoramic sunroof in the price list.

Just wondering why this is not possible, or have got this wrong or something along those lines and in reliability this combo is actually possible and just mis understanding what they are saying or something.

If this is the case got the awkward challenge of choosing between the nicest alloys in my opinion or the sunroof I miss having on a car if I do end up going down the GTI route (which seems quite likely right now tbh).

thanks for reading and hopefully will be on here in the future if I do go down this path.

It was the same with the R mate, you couldn't have the 19's and the sunroof apparently it's down to the kerb weight.

Damn thats a shame, guess I will have to make a decision nearer to the time.

cheers for telling me however, I really appreciate it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't we just spec the sunroof and then add our alloys of choice at a late date?  Might end up looking the Austins anyways!

You mean aftermarket? If so then yeah you can do what ya like i suppose, if you mean add the wheels to the spec after ordering the roof then i doubt it?

Is that so?
How about this Geneva picture?

That picture has been mentioned a few times, whether it will be an option in europe i don't know but you can't have both in the UK.

That picture is my screensaver at work! Interesting eh

Thats exactly the scheme I am on about having if it was allowed (tornado red, santiago alloys, panoramic sunroof with performance pack)**edit** just realised it does not have the performance pack on that show car

Guess I could always talk the dealership in doing it there end (not sure what I would do with a spare set of austin's however)

I am just curious on if it would have any negative impact on the warranty front going around the factories back and fitting those alloys (I know being paranoid but surely the reason weight restrictions are in place are warranty related/ wear and tear)
