Well i've got a black gti with leather seats and love it, but it's not good to keep clean... :sad:

Hi and welcome  :smiley:

Like Murray, I have a deep black pearl gti with leather and love it too.  It is the hardest colour to keep clean (carbon shows much less dirt/dust), but, if you keep on top of it, black looks stunning.

If you're not into car cleaning/detailing then think twice, but if you are and can afford the extra, go for it  :cool:

Why are you considering the change to a gti,  is it more power you're after?  Why not map the gtd?

Well i need more power, plus im not so keen on the dsg box,plus remap invalidates warranty i believe, plus may screw the engine over time?
Maybe im
Being stupid and should
Just keep my gtd.... I think if they had done the gti in carbon i would have paid deposit by now! Just cant get excited by the colours

Not to mention the hefty whack of depreciation .. I think only you know whether this is sensible as we're not your accountants.
