You could remap the GTD, and keep the money you would have paid for a GTI, have a few holidays, enjoy yourself and still have some money if anything goes wrong and VW won't cover it. £5k extra is alot of money !!

Remaps nowadays are very good and to have a fail on your car within 3 years warranted probably won't be caused by the remap if you get it done by a reputable dealer. If a part fails it was probably going to fail anyway.

But at the end of the day it is up to you.  :grin:

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
They have done it in carbon steel grey,it just does not show up on the configurator.

As said it's available in carbon steel grey. 

Have a look in the mk7 section, think a couple of people in there have ordered it in CSG.  Might want to check this thread http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=254937.msg2338689#msg2338689
Some nice pics of a CSG on page 2
