Better choice of colours for sure. I wanted to make a change from white but the metallics are so dreary by and large (IMO) that I ended up sticking with white. And don't get me started on the Oryx white! A grand and I can barely tell the difference.
Audi and BMW do some lovely shades of grey... The VW greys aren't a patch on those IMO.

250bhp would have been good

Yeah exactly.

Bump the power to 250 PS

Great minds think alike?  Or is it fools fail to differ?  I'm never quite sure.

Probably the latter one  :grin: :grin:

What if they offered a "Sports Exhaust" option? Would people go for that or would it be too Max-Powerish & lower the tone of the Golf?

Very good point. It's an option I would definitely have added.

There was thoughts of a carbon roof wasn't there?

No no no.  The half cloth half leather stuff...  Its the tartan on the seats and leather on the bolsters.
