Nice looking motor, not sold on those wheels though and don't get why you can't have the sunroof with them!?

I think if they didn't have the thin black spokes, I'd like them more, but, as they are I don't rate them anywhere close to the standard 18s.  Nice car overall though, really looks good in white.

I really like the alloys  :cool:

Reason you can't have with the sunroof I believe is due to the axle weight of the two combined being over the VW limit. (Not sure why though)

takes you into a new road tax bracket because of the increase in co2's

Bizarre !

Even more bizarre is the fact that the 5 door GTD DSG pushes out more CO2 than the 3 door (and sits in a higher tax bracket)! Yet in the GTI they are exactly the same. I can not fathom it :sad:

Lovely pics of the three door GTD with Santiago's. If they weren't so expensive I would have specced them.

Is it not more to do with the harsher ride on 19"s affecting the functionality of the sunroof when it is extending/retracting?
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Great pictures, that looks stunning.

Wheels do look like a nightmare to clean though
